Advertising Strategy
Online Advertising
1. In recent years, a new form of advertising media has gradually emerged in the advertising industry - online advertising.
2. Businesses can advertise in two main ways:
a. Online advertising is not like traditional forms of winning business by saying "buy this" to a large audience in an unquestionable tone.
b. Online consumers have feedback capabilities. They crave timely information, and once they lose interest and make some operations, they disappear without a trace.
c. Interactive advertising requires the advertisement to deliver the message as part of a "conversation" with the audience. Once an individual becomes interested in the initial message, the advertiser moves to the next step and delivers a message specifically targeted to that person.
3. Advantages of online advertising:
4. Limitations of online advertising: Although many advertising companies have established "new media divisions" to try to explore the potential of online advertising. However, due to various limitations in many aspects of online advertising, advertisers are cautious when going online.
a. These users are mostly students and well-educated people with higher average income.
b. The most successful websites have a way of retaining repeat visitors without being too commercial.
c. In order to make their websites more attractive, some companies become online publishers themselves.
5. Challenges to advertising companies: The development of online advertising has given advertisers new ideas. Although millions of people regularly surf the Internet around the world, it is impossible to determine how many people will see an online advertisement. Advertisements on a website can only be directed by those who look for them, whereas TV ads can easily reach a large passive audience. To this end, online advertisers must work harder to attract attention.
Advertising media selection
1. Corporate media planners must also evaluate the ability of various major media to reach the target audience in order to decide which media to use.
2. The main media include newspapers, magazines, direct mail, radio, television, outdoor advertising, etc.
3. The delivery rate of TV is higher than that of magazines, the frequency of outdoor advertising is higher than that of magazines, and the influence of magazines is greater than that of newspapers.
4. Characteristics of media: When selecting media types, media planners need to understand the characteristics of each media.
① The advantages of newspapers are high flexibility, immediate availability, high coverage of the local market, easy acceptance and trust; their disadvantages are short timeliness and few readers.
② The advantages of magazines are that they can choose appropriate regions and targets, are reliable and famous, have a long timeliness, and have many readers; their disadvantages are that the lead time for advertising purchases is long and some circulations are ineffective.
③The advantages of radio are that it can be used in large quantities, can choose appropriate areas and objects, and is low in cost; its disadvantages are that it only has sound effects, is not as attractive as television, and the exposure is fleeting.
④The advantages of television are that viewing, listening, and action are closely integrated and eye-catching, and the delivery rate is high; its disadvantages are its high absolute cost, fleeting exposure, and lack of selectivity for the audience.
⑤ The advantage of direct mail is that the audience has been selected, it is flexible, and there is no advertising competition from the same media; its disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high and it is easy to cause over-mailing.
⑥The advantages of outdoor advertising are that it is relatively flexible, highly repetitive, low cost, and less competitive; its disadvantages are that it cannot choose the target and its creativity is limited.
5. Media selection: Corporate media planners must consider factors when selecting media types:
①The media habits of the target audience.
② Product characteristics: Different media have different persuasive abilities in aspects such as display, explanation, credibility and color.
③Information type.
④ Cost: The cost of different media is also an important decision-making factor. Television is the most expensive media, while newspapers are less expensive. What matters most is not the difference in absolute cost figures, but the relative relationship between the size of your target audience and the cost. If you calculate it in terms of cost per thousand people, it may show that advertising on television is cheaper than advertising in newspapers.
Definition of Advertising: Advertising is the introduction of opinions and ideas about a product, service, or an action in any non-personnel form by a clear sponsor, publicly paid for, etc.
How to determine your advertising budget
1. The advertising objectives of an enterprise are mainly to provide information, induce purchase, remind usage, etc.
2. After the advertising goals are determined, the company can formulate an advertising budget, that is, determine how much money should be spent on advertising activities.
3. There are four main methods for enterprises to determine advertising budgets:
① Act according to your ability:
a. Although this method is not formally defined in marketing, many companies do use it all the time.
b. Act within their means: that is, the amount of funds that companies can get when determining the basis for advertising budgets. After all other marketing activities have been prioritized for funding, those that still have a reputation will be used for advertising.
c. There is nothing wrong with enterprises deciding the amount of advertising expenditures based on their financial situation, but it should be noted that advertising is an important promotional tool for enterprises, and the fundamental purpose of advertising is to promote sales.
d. When making advertising budgets, companies must not only consider how much advertising money the company needs to spend to achieve sales targets.
e. The method of doing things according to one's ability is one-sided to some extent.
②Sales percentage method:
a. Sales percentage method: means that enterprises calculate and decide advertising expenditures based on sales (actual sales or expected sales) or a certain percentage of unit selling price of tea farmers. Enterprises calculate and decide their advertising budget based on how much advertising expenses they need to complete each 100 yuan in sales (or each unit of product sold).
b. The main advantages of using the percentage of sales method to determine advertising budgets are:
The cost of timely advertising will vary with the amount of funds the company can provide, which can prompt those financial-conscious senior managers to realize that all types of expenses of the company are closely related to changes in total revenue.
It can prompt business managers to consider business management issues based on the relationship between unit advertising costs, product selling prices and sales profits.
It is helpful to keep competition relatively stable, because as long as competing companies tacitly agree to let their advertising budgets fluctuate with a certain percentage of sales, advertising wars can be avoided.
c. The main disadvantages of using the percentage of sales method to determine advertising budgets are:
Treating sales revenue as the "cause" rather than the "effect" pointed out in advertising has resulted in an inversion of cause and effect.
Using this method to determine advertising budgets is actually based on the amount of available funds, rather than on the discovery and utilization of "opportunities", and thus beneficial marketing opportunities will be lost.
Using this method to disadvantage the advertising budget will cause the advertising budget to increase or decrease with annual sales fluctuations, thus conflicting with the long-term advertising plan.
This method does not provide a choice between this fixed ratio or a certain ratio of costs. Instead, a ratio was determined arbitrarily.
Instead of determining different advertising budgets according to different products or different regions, all advertising budgets are allocated at the same rate, resulting in unreasonable egalitarianism.
③Competitive parity law:
a. Competitive parity method: refers to an enterprise comparing its competitors' advertising expenditures to determine its own advertising expenditures in order to maintain a competitive advantage.
b. In the practice of marketing management, many companies like to determine their own advertising budget based on the advertising budget of their competitors, resulting in a situation where they are evenly matched with their competitors.
c. The prerequisites for adopting the competitive reciprocity method are:
Enterprises must be able to obtain reliable information about competitors' advertising budget determinations, so that they can adjust their advertising budgets higher or lower as competitors' advertising budgets increase or decrease.
Competitors' advertising budgets can represent the collective wisdom of the industry in which the company operates.
Maintaining competitive balance can avoid advertising wars between regions.
d. But in fact, the above prerequisites are difficult to meet because:
The company has no reason to believe that the advertising budget determination methods used by competitors are more scientific than the company's methods.
The advertising reputation, resources, opportunities and goals of each enterprise are not necessarily the same and may vary greatly. Therefore, the advertising budget of one enterprise may not be worthy of imitation by other enterprises.
Even if the company's advertising budget is evenly matched with its competitors, it may not be able to stabilize industry-wide advertising expenditures.
④Target task method:
a. The method of doing what we can, the method of competitive parity, and the percentage of sales method all determine a total advertising budget first, and then allocate the total advertising budget to different products or regions.
b. Specific steps of the target task method:
Clearly define your advertising goals.
Determine the work tasks that must be performed to achieve this goal.
Estimate the various expenses required to perform this kind of work tasks, and the sum of these expenses is the planned advertising budget.
c. When the company prepares the overall advertising budget, it first requires each employee to prepare an advertising budget application according to the steps:
Define their advertising goals in as much detail as possible, preferably numerically.
List the work tasks that must be completed to achieve this goal.
Estimate the total cost of completing these tasks. The sum of these costs is the respective funding application amount, and the funding application amount of all managers constitutes the total advertising budget necessary for the enterprise.
d. The shortcoming of the target task method is that it does not consider whether a certain advertising goal is worth pursuing from a cost perspective.
