Explanation of statement

 

Examples

Answer : Prior investigations of the impact of humor on advertising message comprehension have generally found humorous commercials to be no more effective than comparable serious messages. This study re-examines humor’s influence by focusing on type of humor measurement (manipulated vs. perceived) and humor location in the advertisement. Findings indicate that humor (in the form of a one-line joke) does promote message comprehension, and offer support for information processing and operant conditioning

 

 

2 Experts have found that consumers often respond to messages in a hierarchical order of behaviour. Throw light on communication response hierarchy in this context.

 

Answer : A consumer is the ultimate user of a product or service. The overall consumer market consists of all buyers of goods and services for personal or family use, more than 270 million people (including children) spending trillions of dollars in the United States as of the late 1990s.

3 Explain the role of a media planner and media buyer.

In case anyone has missed my broken-record comment, branding belongs just as much–if not more–to marketing as it does to advertising. Branding is about relationships, and relationships get created, nurtured, and leveraged by marketers.

 

But this week I want to get more specific about the role of marketing in the branding effort. I want to get you all thinking about what an excellent partner direct marketing is in the branding effort.

 

Why? Because I think that it is high tim

 

 

 

5 “Kids are the new age customers”. Do you agree with this statement? Explain Brat Power in this connection.

 

Answer : Some kids can get whatever they want by screaming at their parents until they give in. “I want a pony” is one common demand of these types.

 

 

 

6 Write short notes on:

 

a) Stereotyping in advertisement

Answer : Marketers are constantly seeking ways to make their products more easily identifiable to specific groups of end users. In some cases, they may intentionally or unintentionally use stereotyping to show a product as appealing to their desired target market or in an attempt to interject humor into the ad. Advertising stereotypes are often race- or gender-based in nature.

 

Child Gender Roles

 

 

b) Regulation governing Broadcast Media Advertising

 

Answer : By contrast to the press, radio and television broadcasting were subject from the beginning to high levels of restriction, sometimes involving public control approaching a condition of censorship. The general concept of social responsibility and public interest lies at the core of the broadcasting model, although there are several variants as well as weaker (as in the USA) or stronger forms (as in Europe).
