The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) is like a referee for advertising
in India. It's a self-regulatory body that ensures ads are honest, fair, and don't
mislead people. ASCI checks ads to make sure they follow ethical guidelines and
don't make false claims or trick consumers. If an ad breaks the rules, ASCI can ask
the advertiser to change or withdraw the ad. This helps protect consumers and
promotes responsible advertising practices in India.
AIDA model.
The AIDA model is a simple way to understand how advertising works to persuade
people to buy something. It stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action:
2. **Interest:** Once you have their attention, you need to make them interested in
your product or service. You do this by highlighting its benefits, unique features,
or how it can solve a problem they have.
3. **Desire:** After capturing their interest, you want to create a desire or want
for your product. This can be done by showing how others are happy or satisfied
using it, or by offering special deals or incentives.
4. **Action:** The final step is to encourage them to take action, such as making a
purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or visiting your website. This is where you
make it easy and appealing for them to act on their desire to buy.
Overall, the AIDA model helps advertisers understand the steps consumers go through
from noticing an ad to making a purchase, and it guides them in creating effective
advertising campaigns.
The hierarchy model of advertising is like a ladder that shows how advertising
influences people's decisions to buy something. It has different steps, or levels,
that consumers go through:
2. **Knowledge:** The next step is knowledge. Once people are aware of a product,
they start to learn more about it—what it does, how it works, its features, and
benefits.
3. **Liking:** As people learn more about a product and its benefits, they start to
like it more. This is where positive feelings and attitudes towards the product
develop.
The hierarchy model helps advertisers understand how to create ads that move
consumers up the ladder from awareness to conviction, ultimately leading to
purchases. Each step builds on the previous one, guiding consumers towards making
informed and confident buying decisions.
Transit ads are advertisements placed on public transportation vehicles like buses,
trains, or at transit stops like bus shelters or train stations. Here's a short
note on transit advertising:
Transit ads are like moving billboards that reach people while they're on the move.
They can be inside buses or trains, on the outside of vehicles, or at stops and
stations. These ads are great because they reach a lot of people who use public
transport every day. They're visible to pedestrians, drivers, and passengers,
making them a smart way to get your message out to a wide audience. Plus, since
transit ads are always on the move, they can create a lasting impression as people
see them repeatedly during their daily travels.
On-premises ads are like advertisements you see inside stores, restaurants, or
other business places. They're designed to catch your attention while you're
already at that location. These ads can be posters, digital screens, banners, or
signs that promote products, offers, or brand messages. They're effective because
they target customers who are already interested in what the business offers. For
example, you might see ads for new menu items in a restaurant or special discounts
on products in a store. On-premises ads help businesses increase sales, promote
their brand, and enhance the overall customer experience.
These tools and techniques of sales promotion are designed to create excitement,
incentivize purchases, and build customer loyalty.
Essentially, posters are impactful visual tools that convey messages, promote
products or events, engage viewers, reinforce brand identity, and drive desired
actions among the target audience.
