Impact of advertising

Today, advertising has become a medium for marketing a particular brand, product, service, event, business or even movies. Advertising has influenced our day to day lives and has so far provided a great impact upon our lifestyle as well. Whether it is about entertainment, festival, consumer goods, advertising has become the sole medium for promotion. With various forms, tools, techniques and mediums of advertising it has become easier for brands to get instant recognition in the market. Especially for consumer goods market advertising holds the sole responsibility of creating a buzz or reminder message about the brand to its target group.

If you look around and study you will realize how advertising has become an important factor for creating a brand experience in our mind. Every single business, brand or service holder advertises. Various movie makers even take huge help of advertising tools to promote their film in the market. And for political leaders, advertising is one effective tool to promote their political ideas among the masses. To sum up, it is already an open secret about how advertising has created a huge impact upon our lives.

Innovation is the key to success in any field of expertise. Be it any sector or organization, an innovative idea or strategy always takes the business to the forefront thereby creating a boom to the overall revenue of the particular organization or company. In brand advertising business, innovation plays a significant role. In fact, it is an innovative idea which is required to communicate to the target customers, influence their buying behaviours and finally convince them to adopt the product or brand. Besides innovation, there is one more factor which is again a key to successful brand advertising.

Any brand advertiser is aware of the fact that the first and foremost purpose of a brand advertising campaign is to capture the attention of customers by making them feel and think about the product. For this, the advertisers need to frame the brand message in such a way that it probes into the minds of the customers no sooner than they read it. But how is it possible? Creativity is the answer. An insightful creativity is also required to frame the brand communication in order to tickle the attention of the target customers.

Customers always seek to find something new in the brand message for which creativity is the only solution. But as mentioned above it should be insightful creativity, not some ordinary or complex one which will confuse the customers.

An innovative idea and an insightful creativity (in terms of design, message, approach) – these are two keys to successful advertising widely adopted by famous advertisers. Its quite a challenge (especially for existing brands) to convey the brand message to the same customers again and again. However, an innovative idea conveyed through a creative approach makes it easier for the brand advertiser to talk at ease about the brand to his target groups. Like leaves to the trees, like water to the ocean, innovation and creativity are to brand advertising. Cheers!

Vons Supermarket Radio Advertisements – Awful!

categories: Advertising

VONS SUPERMARKET RADIO ADVERTISEMENTS – AWFUL! by Dan O’Day

Vons is owned by Safeway Inc., which has an annual revenue of around $40 billion.

Surely they can afford to hire only the best people to create the advertising for its various brands. So I’m sure that’s what they did: hire the very best to create Vons’ radio advertising.

The opening line of your commercial is “the commercial for the commercial.” This is your one opportunity to command the attention of the targeted listener.

So what did the high priced advertising wizards behind Vons’ commercials do to grab the targeted consumer’s attention from the very beginning…

“Spring is in the air.”

That is how they begin the commercial?

With a meaningless cliche that has nothing at all to do with the advertiser and which could have been written by a 13-year kid as part of a class “write a pretend radio commercial” assignment?

But maybe I’m underestimating them. Maybe they cleverly connected ‘Spring’ to ‘Vons’ so powerfully that it all flows together naturally and irresistibly.”

Uh, well…Here’s the connection:

“And the only thing better than warmer weather is knowing that you can always save money at Vons.”

Let’s recap what we’ve learned so far:

1. The second best thing in your life is warm weather.

2. The best thing in your life is…

Your children’s health? Your own health? World peace?

No. The best thing in your life is knowing that you can always save money at Vons.

They begin with a an irrelevant cliche.

They quickly move to a lie by saying: “And the only thing better than warmer weather is knowing that you can always save money at Vons.”

They mention their “everyday low prices.”

They mention their “Vons Club” prices.

They list some of the foods they have on special this week. (And, by the way, how many do you remember…?)

They tout their flu shots.

And then ” before tagging the commercial with a bizarrely juxtaposed disclaimer, they end by…

Advertising a different supermarket chain.

Yes, Safeway owns both Vons and Pavilions. No, that doesn’t mean a commercial for one should be a commercial for the other.

Vons and Pavilions have different names because they are different brands.

Different brands make different promises to the consumer.

Different promises require different messages to communicate them.

By the way, in this hemisphere Summer officially begins June 21. Gosh, I wonder how the Vons commercials will begin then?

Advertising For Your Mmorpg Guild

categories: Advertising

Guild recruiters cannot be shy. Post in recruiting forums, erect a guild Web site, use in game recruiting tools, such as those in EQ2, these activities all promote your guild and you probably should avail yourself of them. However the fastest, cheapest, easiest most effective way to get new members for your guild is to simply ask in a general chat channel.

Before You Hit the Chat Channels You Need to Know…

…what benefit people will receive by joining your guild and at what cost? Do you provide help with grouping? Do you help people level? Are you a PvP guild? If so what kind of PvP guild? If you provide groups for members is joining guild groups required? If you help people level, is helping other members required? If you are an MMORPG PvP guild, does this mean you don’t do content or that you do organized battlegrounds?

Once you know the major benefit of joining your guild, create your message around that. Know the cost however, because you’ll need new members to understand that if you want to retain themmore about that in my next article for PlayerVox.

To construct your message take the big focus on your major benefit and combine it with one of two possible actions you want the interested party to take:

1. PST for membership info. Contact you immediately in (PST for Please Send Tell is fairly universal).

Be prepared to answer questions and potentially talk to multiple people at the same time. I like to either use a text file to cut and paste common answers, or setup macros when available.

2. URL. Save yourself a lot of typing by sending people to a special recruiting page setup in advance. Lazy people won’t take the time to go look however, so if you are zerg recruiting, don’t use this method. Using a Web page is ideal if there is a lot of information for potential members to consider.

* Present your guild as active and up-to-date. Do NOT send potentials to your inactive guild forums or glommed together site for info. Instead create a special page just for potential new recruits.

* Get the easiest URL possible. Example: “s1.guildcafe.com” is the domain name I use for the Section One guild.

* Always use the http:// so that people understand it is a web site you want them to look at.

Recruiting Message Samples

Helper PvE guild:

Learn the ropes and level fast with XYZ guild. PST for membership info.

Guild with funny people:

Laugh your way to level 50 with XYZ guild. Casual players welcome. PST for membership info.

Guild with serious PvErs:

XYZ guild seeks pro-PvE members. Do dungeons right with us. Ventrilo required. PST for membership info.

End game looters:

The PvE veterans of XYZ raid guild LFM for teamwork and achieving long term goals. http://www.blahblah.com

Adult social guild:

Like to play and chat? Join the lively world of XYZ guild on Ventrilo. http://www.blahblah.com Not kid friendly.

Crafting guild:

Attention crafters: Join with other crafters in XYZ guild to build an economic powerhouse and rule the server. PST for more info.

Player-killing guild:

Join for the Rep. Stay for the people who’d rather fight than switch. RPK all the way. PST for membership info.

Advertise, but don’t spam

Some old fashioned net-etiquette should be employed while advertising in chat channels:

* Use appropriate channels. Find out what channels are acceptable for guild recruiting. It’s different in every game. For instance, in Guild Wars, one uses the all channel. In some MMORPGs the regional chat channels are acceptable. Some games have special recruiting channels.

* Keep it short and sweet. Don’t attempt to explain every membership detail in your message. Things scroll away fast and people don’t have time to deal with long textheck, they don’t even read quest descriptions most of the time! More on this later.

* Don’t spam. The reason you repeat your message is to give busy people another chance to read it as well present yourself to new people who haven’t seen it. It is not to bore and aggravate people with your endless droning of e-garbage.

o How often you repeat your message is game dependent. In games like WoW, EQ2 and Vanguard, the number of new people coming into and going out of a channel is small, so repeat sparingly. Observe how frequently others repeat and repeat less than they do. If you get complaints, reduce your frequency even more. Being perceived as spam will get you on people’s ignore-list.

o In Guild Wars where people hop in and out of districts constantly, your best bet is to move around from place to place, repeat your message once per district then move on, repeating your cycle every five minutes or so.

* Change it up. Vary your message from time to time, test new messages, be clever, entertain. Boring messages equates to a boring guild.

Advertise eloquently…

…or at least avoid looking stupid:

* DON’T USE ALL CAPS.

* Do not load up your message with **l337** symbols and other #$%^& crap. Your potential recruits don’t have time or desire to decipher, so just use plain English.

* Stay away from over-used terms so ubiquitous that they are now meaningless. Ever seen anyone advertising for unfriendly, immature and inactive members? Almost all guilds are friendly, mature and active, so don’t use up precious space talking about it.

* Use goood speeling. You may not care about every day chat spelling and grammar, but nothing makes you look more like a stupid n00b than spamming the same error over and over. Check it first then store it in a macro or text file.

People want to join guilds that are active. They like to be able to login and find things are happening. One of the best things to do recruiting-wise is put together PUGs, then pitch guild membership to the better players.

You can take this idea a step further by organizing server events and advertising them in spam. Depending on how much creativity the game supports you can do a lot. Character weddings, PvP king of the hill events, PvP tournaments, PvE and PvP raids, crafting fairs, scavenger hunts, races and costume contests are all popular.

Worst Guild Recruiting Spam Ever

XYZ GUILD RECUTING friendly active players. All levels, races, classses and ages. Mature PvE and PvP. Have hall and cape. –

This is a pretty typical zerg guild spamhard to read, packed full of errors and easy to ignore. It attempts to attract people by sounding friendly, but undermines itself by trying to be all things to all peoplewhich equates to nothing for nobody. If you want to offer zillions of players a temporary spot in your revolving door clan, use this ad. (The have hall and cape is a Guild Wars thing. Since every guild has those, it amazes me that people even mention it. If they advertised a guild hall with all perks or silver cape that would be different.)

XYZ guild looking for members. 50 gold paid on joining.

Why not just say, attention leeches, come get 50gp then leave me for another guild If you are this desperate for members, consider calling it quits and joining an established guild.

UberAwesome guild looking for members. Raiding right now, come get your endgame loot!

This ad isn’t much better than the previous one. It’s just another opportunity for people to leech off your generosity. Inviting people to join your raids is a good way to impress people, but it’s best to keep those opportunities and your recruiting separate.

Conclusion

Don’t be shy! Speak up and use chat to let people know that you’re out there. Be wise with your messages, don’t abuse it, and you’ll be rewarded with plenty of interest.

Instant Outdoor Advertising Campaigns Made Easy

categories: Advertising

An instant outdoor advertising campaign is one of the most cost effective ways to communicate your message to your potential and current clients who live and work in the area. Signs work to remind people you are there, implant thoughts, sharpen an identity and state a brief message. They are the original Geo-targeted advertising!

Many small businesses think outdoor advertising is just for big brands. The think the cost is prohibitive and never even consider it as part of their advertising mix. That is a big mistake.

Dollar for dollar and pound outdoor advertising is is one of the most cost affective methods you could use to target local markets.

Instant advertising campaigns can be set up where your customers live work and play in …well in an instant. The artwork is often included in a monthly fee for leasing a location and it doesn’t have to be a full size billboard costing thousands a month. Prices start as low as $50.00 a month for things like bus benches and usually reflect the traffic flow. Competition for return on investment guarantees this media is priced right because unlike newspaper advertising and other print media there is a limit to the number of locations available.

Street furniture like bus benches and recycling bins can be found in hundreds of cities in Canada and the US displaying advertising to local markets.

Outdoor advertising like this is a great place to start an advertising campaign, drive traffic to a website, build a local brand and remind your customers you are there for them.

Many of the businesses using this method start with one unit and scale up as businesses increases.

Does it work?
Well I manage advertising campaigns in 263 locations for over 100 clients. Most of them stay with me year after year, on average more than 5 years on a single location and some have been on several locations for more than 25 years.

Instant outdoor advertising campaigns are custom made for businesses on the street looking to master local markets. All kinds of businesses.

Our services are custom built for shop owners, doctors, lawyers, dentists, plumbers, real estate agencies, pharmacies, drug stores, dry cleaners, restaurants, garden centers, boutiques, publishers, physical trainers, pool cleaners, grocery stores, bookkeepers, therapists, insurance brokers and anyone else with a business, service or store with walk in traffic.
