Objectives / Importance of Advertising
Objectives of Advertising
Four main Objectives of
advertising are:
- Trial
- Continuity
- Brand
switch
- Switching
back
Let’s take a look on these
various types of objectives.
- Trial: the companies which are in their
introduction stage generally work for this objective. The trial objective
is the one which involves convincing the customers to buy the new product
introduced in the market. Here, the advertisers use flashy and attractive
ads to make customers take a look on the products and purchase for trials.
- Continuity: this objective is concerned about
keeping the existing customers to stick on to the product. The advertisers
here generally keep on bringing something new in the product and the
advertisement so that the existing customers keep buying their products.
- Brand
switch: this objective
is basically for those companies who want to attract the customers of the
competitors. Here, the advertisers try to convince the customers to switch
from the existing brand they are using to their product.
- Switching
back: this objective
is for the companies who want their previous customers back, who have
switched to their competitors. The advertisers use different ways to
attract the customers back like discount sale, new advertise, some
reworking done on packaging, etc.
Basically, advertising is a very
artistic way of communicating with the customers. The main characteristics one
should have to get on their objectives are great communication skills and very
good convincing power.
Importance of Advertising
Advertising plays a very
important role in today’s age of competition. Advertising is one thing which
has become a necessity for everybody in today’s day to day life, be it the
producer, the traders, or the customer. Advertising is an important part. Lets
have a look on how and where is advertising important:
- Advertising
is important for the customers
Just imagine television or a newspaper or a radio channel without
an advertisement! No, no one can any day imagine this. Advertising plays a very
important role in customers life. Customers are the people who buy the product
only after they are made aware of the products available in the market. If the
product is not advertised, no customer will come to know what products are
available and will not buy the product even if the product was for their
benefit. One more thing is that advertising helps people find the best products
for themselves, their kids, and their family. When they come to know about the
range of products, they are able to compare the products and buy so that they
get what they desire after spending their valuable money. Thus, advertising is
important for the customers.

the sellers of the products, because

people aware of the new product so that the consumers come and try the
product.
