Summary
Imagine a day in the life of an average urban Indian male living in an apartment
by himself. He wakes up early in the morning to the sound of a hi – tech alarm
(which he has recently bought, thanks to the ad of an alarm clock he seen on
TV). He jumps out of bed and switches on the radio (to hear some good music on
FM punctuated with some news headline). The TV is then switched on (to the
channel on Aerobics while he works out with those slim women who promise a
good physique in just a couple of months). With a brush in his mouth (of course
with ‘Close – Up’ toothpaste ‘for greater confidence’ and so that beautiful girls
may say ‘Talk to me’), he scans the news paper for a quick update while he
prepares some breakfast (the fast and highly nutritious ‘kellogs’ which once again
he purchased because of the attractive ad). After a warm bath (with ‘Dettol’ soap
- for greater skin protection and ‘Head and Shoulders’ Shampoo so that he is
never embarrassed because of dandruff), and a cool shave (with the very cool
‘Gillette Shaving foam’ as shaving cream is out and shaving foam is in, and the
‘Mac3’ - for the closest shave), he bathes his cheeks with an after shave (‘Old
Spice’ – for that macho feeling). He dashes off to work (whizzing past posters,
billboards, hoardings – all bombarding him with different messages, schemes,
offers etc.). His bus and train journey are never boring as he always carries the
latest ‘India Today’ to keep him abreast of the latest happenings. He is on the
field working when he feels thirsty (but he cannot make up his mind whether to
have a ‘Thumps – up’ – as he is grown up, or to have a ‘Pepsi’ – because he
wants to live young forever; any way he decides to play safe and have a ‘Bisleri’).
His mobile suddenly buzzes. It’s a programmed call, reminding of his date. He
realises he is late. At the shopping center close by he buys his date a card (an
‘Archies – I’m sorry Card’ of course, because no one can say it better than
Archies). Obviously his date reacts as she is expected to by giving him a hug
(just like the ad). After the great date they return home. After some TV snacking,
he sets the mood with some soft music, spruces himself (any guesses with what?
– yes with the good, irresistible, ‘AXE’ deo spray). And the lights go out. (Hey
wait a second; I forgot to mention the extra soft…. ‘Kurlon’ mattress he had
recently purchased thanks to the special Diwali offer). That was Media and
Advertising’s influence for us.
A wise man once said, "The person who saves money by not advertising is like
the man who stops the clock to save time." In today's fast-paced, high-tech age,
businesses must use some form of advertising to make prospects aware of their
products and services. Even a famous company like Coca-Cola continually
spends money on advertising to support recognition of their products. In 1993,
Coca-Cola spent more than $150 million to keep its name in the forefront of the
public's eye. So the question isn't whether or not you can afford to advertise, you
simply must if you want your business to succeed.
Some questions you should consider before buying ads are:
1. What media is the best to use?
2. How important is creativity?
3. Is there a way to buy space and time that will stretch my advertising budget?
When it comes to advertising, a lot of people really don't know what they want,
where to get it or what to do with it after they have it. This publication will help
you learn to determine what type of advertising media is best for you. It also
provides guidelines you can use to obtain the advertising exposure you need and
win help you identify ways to make your advertising more cost efficient.
Advertising is an investment in your business' future. And, like any investment,
it's important to find out as much as you can before you make a decision. You'll
be able to use this publication often as a reliable reference toot in the months
and years to come.
