pleasant to the eyes of the customer.
Conviction:
To convince the customers the ad shows two things. One of them is the model which is
also used for conviction purpose because some customers may be fan of the model.
Another is the company showed up in the ad was the future offerings in the last
paragraph.
Purchase:
In this ad campaign when the customer is gone through these entire elements then it
depends on the level of conviction. If the conviction level of the customer is high then
there is indication of purchase. But if the conviction level is low then the purchase might
not be done. The other element showed up in the ad was the quantitative values showed
up in the ad as these values push up customers to purchase the services of the
company.
Awareness:
The awareness element used by this campaign is so much up to the mark. Turned the
ad upside down in newspaper which is a great awareness element showed. The reader
finds it weird and turns the newspaper upside down to read the ad. so the awareness
affect on the customer is positive.

The trends that I am going to use in my advertisement will be targeting youngsters and
teenagers because these age groups mostly like freshness in the toothpastes and the product
that I am introducing is based upon the freshness. So teenagers will be showed up in the
advertisement.
Colgate - Palmolive
Close Up - Uniliver Pakistan
Macleans – Galaxo Smith Kline
Dentonic – Ala Chemicals
Doctor Toothpaste
Medicam Toothpaste
Sensodyne
Signal
Following are some companies mentioned below selected on the basis of its target audience for
which they launch their product.
1) Colgate Palmolive Pakistan: Colgate is designing their ads according to the target
audience for whom the product is made. E.g. Colgate Max Fresh they target teenager
because this age groups mostly like freshness in the toothpaste. So as according the
company brings teenagers in their ads for this brand and conveys the main theme
freshness to the target audience. They mostly use TVC media for advertising their
products.
2) Close up Uniliver Pakistan: Close Up designs their ad on the teenagers too. They
mostly touch romantic scenes in their ads. They show a couple often in their ads. The
Uniliver mostly promotes their Close up on Televisions.
3) Macleans and Sensodyne: Both of the toothpastes are brand of GSK Company. Their
most of the ads are targeted to those customers who have dental problem like gums
bleeding, plague, and cavity. So they often shows medical theme in their ads. They
mostly use news papers and TV.
4) Doctor Toothpaste: Doctor Toothpaste mostly designs their product on medical scenes
as according to nature of the product. Their ads are designed on doctors on the basis of
their brand name they use.

1. Television: Television medium will be effective for the proper promotion of the
toothpaste. This medium will help the company to learn the consumers in the market
about the new product (Geo, HumTv, Local Cable operators). In case if the product is
launched within a specific geographical area then this medium is not recommended
because it will be so costly.
2. Radio: Radio will be used on as secondary promotion medium. It is selected because
usually most of the youngsters listen to FM radio channels in their cars and mobiles. (Fm
Burraq, Hum Fm)
3. Newspapers: In print media, newspapers advertisements will be used for promoting the
toothpaste. There is still huge number of people who still reads newspaper in Pakistan.
(Ausaf, Jang, Mashriq, Dawn)
The toothpaste should be promoted on the television channels such as Hum TV, Geo
TV, PTV because these are those channels which attracts the youngsters too much now
a days. Music channel such as M TV and Style 360 will be more appropriate while
targeting the youngsters or teenagers.
Sponsoring drama serials and other program channels will help out the company in
advertising their product.
Sponsoring different programs Like “Young Leaders Programme” “Screw it! Let’s do it”
as this will turn in for good promotion for the company. The company will get chance for
promoting its product for a big teenage and youngsters group.
Sponsoring different exhibitions like art Festival at colleges as this will provide the
company an opportunity to represent its product to the youth and teen age customers.
Billboards on the main areas like “University Road and Gora Graveyard” in Peshawar
will be used in order to reach the customers. Billboards are more important as almost
every person passing by sights the billboards at least one time.
In retailer shops and supermarkets, the company will exhibit its ad cards and ad posters.
1) Recall: Recall tests are designed to assess the impression that a particular
advertisements have made on the target audience. As the target audience will be judged
on the level of overall awareness they have gained from the campaign.
2) Attitude Surveys: Attitude surveys will also help in measuring the campaign
effectiveness. This will be done through the questionnaires distributed during the
seminars in schools and colleges as well as from the door to door survey and road
Page 23

shows on the high streets. Attitude survey will give us the overall reaction of the target
audience towards the campaign, the awareness and their attitude towards smoking.
3) Quantitative information: Some quantitative information can also be gathered from the
NHS and the local clinics and hospitals regarding the number of patients that had been
recently after the campaign registered and treated for smoke related problems. Other
than that any questionnaires filled up by the target audience in the NHS clinics or
hospitals by the target audience will also be provide some quantitative figures of how
have they lessen their smoking routine.
I showed the demo of the ad that I made on my product to the target group with 15 to 25 age
customers. Their response after watching the ad was good. They were really excited to after
watching the ad they appreciated and most of them desired if the product existed in reality. Most
of the customers liked the freshness and the coolness feature of the product in the ad.
My conclusion after analyzing all the process I came through the ad campaign of the Arctic
toothpaste is that the product is feasible and there is good response to the product by the
customers by watching the ad. In case if the company is developing its product then it must
promote the product according to the product planning showed above.
