Advertising and Public Relation
Definition
Advertising is any paid form of non-personal
presentation & promotion of ideas, goods,
or services by an identified sponsor.
Examples of advertising
the new TVC of Shan foods, they are
showing an emotional bond between
father and daughter. In this ad, they
have smartly addressed the stereotype
of females being financially dependent
on males as it starts with daughter
coming home late from office and her
father is waiting for her. The narrative is
clear that the mother is no more alive
adding the first emotional hit. And thus,
begins the revolutionized yet perfectly
scripted ad as father is using the recipe
book of his wife to cook perfect meal of
his daughter’s birthday. And the ad ends
with a beautiful message that, “Pyar say
khana banana aur khelana, kisi ek ka
kaam nai”.

Information:
Advertising helps to inform the target
audience about the product.
Product information is very much
required, especially when the product is
introduced in the market, or when
product modification is undertaken.
Proper product information can help the
consumers in their purchase decision.
Persuasion:
When business firms offer similar
products, the firm must not only inform
the customers about the product’s
availability, but also persuade them to
buy it. Through persuasive messages,
the marketers try to provide reasons
regarding the superiority of their
products as compared to others
available in the market.
Attitudes:
Promotion is required to build or
reinforce attitudes in the minds of target
audience. The marketers expect the
target audience to develop a favorable
attitude towards their brands. Positive
attitude towards the brand helps to
increase its sales.
Reminder:
If target customers already have a
positive attitude towards a firm’s
product or service, then a reminder
objective may be necessary. The
reminder objective is necessary because
the satisfied customers can be targets
for competitors’ appeals. Well-
established brands need to remind the
customers about their presence in the
market.
Brand Loyalty:
advertising helps to develop brand
loyalty. Brand loyalty results in repeat
purchases and favorable
recommendations to others by existing
customers.
Brand Image:
An advertiser helps to develop a good
image of the brand in the minds of
target audience. There are several
factors that can be of help to audience.
There are several factors, such as the
character of the personality that
endorses the brand, the content of the
advertising message, the nature and
type of packaging and the type of
programs or events sponsored, that can
help to develop brand image in the
minds of target audience.
Expansion of Markets:
Successful ads results in expansion of
the markets. A marketer may intend to
expand markets from the local level to
the regional level, from the regional
level to the national level, and from the
national level to the international level.
For this purpose, the marketer may
undertake various techniques of
promotion.
Educating the Customers:
Promotion may be undertaken to
educate the customers. For instance,
some of the advertising is undertaken to
educate the audience regarding the use
of the product, handling operations, and
so on.
a) What is your favorite ad? Why?
I generally observe the advertisements
that come on television and i love
watching the advertisements that also
promote a social message among the
citizens. So I like the Dastak Cooking Oil
TVC which is released on World’s Food
Day promoting the idea of splitting
your food’s plate with someone in
need. The ad shows the story of a boss
and his clerk who always cleans up the
boss’s plate and eats whatever’s
leftover. The idea promoted is that the
food we’re wasting must be the source
of the day’s biggest reward for
someone else. So practice donating,
splitting your food, and sharing.
