INTRODUCTION

It has "een $rongl assumed that the ad!ertising function is of

recent origin. 5!idences suggest that the omans practiced ad!ertising7

 "ut the earliest indication of its use in this countr dates "ack to the

middle Ages, $hen the use of the surname indicated a mans occupation.

#he ne(t stage in the e!olution of ad!ertising $as the use of signs as a

!isual e(pression of the tradesmans function and a means of locating

the source of goods. #his method is still in common use. #he seller in

 primiti!e times relied upon his loud !oice to attract attention and inform

consumers of the a!aila"ilit of his ser!ices. If there $ere man

competitors, he relied upon his o$n personal magnetism to attractattention to his merchandise. /ften it "ecame necessar for him to resort

to persuasion to pinpoint the ad!antages of his products. #hus, the seller

$as doing the complete promotion 'o" himself.

)e!elopment of retail stores, made the traders to "e more

concerned a"out attracting "usiness. Informing customers of the

a!aila"ilit of supplies $as highl important. Some tpes of outside

 promotion $ere necessar. Signs on stores and in prominent placesaround the cit and notices in printed matters $ere sometimes used.

8hen customers $ere finall attracted to the store and

satisfied $ith the ser!ice at least once, the $ere still su"'ected

to competiti!e influences7 therefore, the merchants signs and

ad!ertisements reminded customers of the continuing

a!aila"ilit of his ser!ices. Sometimes traders $ould talk to

 present and former customers in the streets, or 'oin social

organi9ations in order to ha!e continuing contacts $ith present

and potential customers.

As the markets gre$ larger and the num"er of customers

increased, the importance of attracting them also gre$.

Increasing reliance $as placed on ad!ertising methods of

informing a"out the a!aila"ilit of the products. #hesead!ertising methods $ere more economical in reaching large

num"ers of consumers. 8hile these ad!ertising methods $ere

useful for informing and reminding and reminding, the could

not do the $hole promotional 'o". #he $ere used onl to reach

each consumer personall. #he merchant still used personal

 persuasion once the customers $ere attracted to his store.#he in!ention of hand press increased the potentialities of

ad!ertising. B Shakespeares times, posters had made their

appearance, and assumed the function of fostering demand for

e(isting products. Another important e!ent $as the emergence

of the pamphlet as an ad!ertising medium. #he earl e(amples

of these pamphlets disclose their sponsorship " companies

$ant to generate good$ill for their acti!ities. #he lo$ cost of

 posters and hand"ills encouraged a num"er of pu"lishers to

e(periment $ith other methods.

HISTORY OF ADVERTISEMENT

Archaeologists ha!e found e!idence of ad!ertising dating "ack to the ===s BC, among

the Ba"lonians. /ne of the first kno$n methods of ad!ertising $as the outdoor displa, usuall

an eecatching sign painted on the $all of a "uilding. Archaeologists ha!e unco!ered man

such signs, nota"l in the ruins of ancient ome and *ompeii. An outdoor ad!ertisement

e(ca!ated in ome offers propert for rent, and one found painted on a $all in *ompeii calls the

attention of tra!elers to a ta!ern situated in another to$n.

In medie!al times $ordofmouth praise of products ga!e rise to a simple "ut effecti!e

form of ad!ertising, the use of socalled to$n criers. #he criers $ere citi9ens $ho read pu"licnotices aloud and $ere also emploed " merchants to shout the praises of their $ares. >ater

the "ecame familiar figures on the streets of colonial American settlements. #he to$n criers

$ere forerunners of the modern announcer $ho deli!ers radio and tele!ision commercials.

Although graphic forms of ad!ertising appeared earl in histor, printed ad!ertising made

little head$a until the in!ention of the mo!a"letpe printing press " &erman printer ohannes

&uten"erg a"out 134=. #his in!ention made the mass distri"ution of posters and circulars

 possi"le. #he first ad!ertisement in 5nglish appeared in 13:2 in the form of a hand"ill

announcing a praer "ook for sale. #$o hundred ears later, the first ne$spaper ad $as

 pu"lished offering a re$ard for the return of 12 stolen horses. In the American colonies, the

 Boston News-Letter, the first regularl pu"lished ne$spaper in America, "egan carring ads in

1:=3, and a"out 24 ears later Ben'amin %ranklin made ads more reada"le " using large

headlines.

In the ?nited States, the ad!ertising profession "egan in *hiladelphia, *ennsl!ania, in

1;31 $hen Volne B. *almer set up shop as an ad!ertising agent, the forerunner of the

ad!ertising agenc. Agents contracted $ith ne$spapers for large amounts of ad!ertising space at

discount rates and then resold the space to ad!ertisers at a higher rate. #he ads themsel!es $ere

created " the ad!ertisers. In 1;6< %rancis Aer "ought out *almer and founded +. 8. Aer @

Son, an agenc that still e(ists toda. Aer transformed the standard agent practice " "illing

ad!ertisers e(actl $hat he paid to pu"lishers plus an agreed upon commission. Soon Aer $as

not onl selling space "ut $as also conducting market research and $riting the ad!ertising cop.

Ad!ertising agencies initiall focused on print. But the introduction of radio created a

ne$ opportunit and " the end of the 1<2=s, ad!ertising had esta"lished itself in radio to such

an e(tent that ad!ertisers $ere producing man of their o$n programs. #he earl 1<=s ushered

in do9ens of radio dramatic series that $ere kno$n as soap operas "ecause the $ere sponsored

 " soap companies.

#ele!ision had "een introduced in 1<3=, "ut "ecause of the high cost of #V sets and the

lack of programming, it $as not immediatel em"raced. As the American econom soared in the

1<4=s, so did the sale of #V sets and the ad!ertising that paid for the popular ne$ sho$s. Soon

#V far surpassed radio as an ad!ertising medium.

#he tone of the ad!ertising $as also changing. +o longer did ad!ertising simpl present

the product "enefit. Instead it "egan to create a product image. Bill Bern"ach, founder of )ole

)ane Bern"ach in +e$ ork Cit7 >eo Burnett, founder of the >eo Burnett agenc in Chicago,

Illinois7 and )a!id /gil!, founder of /gil! @ Mather in +e$ ork Cit, all came to

 prominence in the late 1<4=s and 1<6=s and led $hat has "een called the creati!e re!olution.

Bern"achs agenc captured the spirit of the ne$ age. Bern"ach "elie!ed that ad!ertising had to "e creati!e and artistic or it $ould "ore people. -e also "elie!ed that good ad!ertising "egan

$ith respect for the pu"lics intelligence. #he ads his agenc created $ere understated,

sophisticated, and $itt.

%or e(ample, $hen Bern"achs agenc picked up the account for the -enr S. >e!

Baker in Brookln, a "orough of +e$ ork Cit, the agenc created an ad that entertained +e$

orkers and pro!ided fodder for man con!ersations. #he ad sho$ed a +ati!e American eating a

slice of the "akers re "read $ith the headline, ou dont ha!e to "e e$ish to lo!e >e!s.

But it $as the ad!ertising for Volks$agen that made the agencs reputation. At a time $hen

American cars $ere getting "igger and "igger and the ad!ertising for them trumpeted that "igger

$as "etter, )ole )ane Bern"ach created a maga9ine ad that sho$ed a small picture of the

Volks$agen Beetle surrounded " a sea of $hite space $ith the headline, think small. An

12

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/shweta-1doc123 13/76

euall uncon!entional ad carried the headline lemon "eneath a photo of an apparentl fla$ed

Volks$agen. #he ads cop e(plained that this Volks$agen missed the "oat. #he chrome strip

on the glo!e compartment is "lemished and must "e replacedD8e pluck the lemons7 ou get the

 plums. In an era of hpe and "om"ast, the Volks$agen ads stood out "ecause the admitted

failure in a $itt $a and ga!e facts in a "elie!a"le manner that underlined the cars strengths.

#his $it together $ith a con!ersational and "elie!a"le stle $as a hallmark of the ad!ertising

created " )ole )ane Bern"ach and that stle "ecame highl influential.

#he creati!e foundation esta"lished " Bern"ach and others has "een critical to the

success of contemporar ad!ertising. #he introduction of the #V remote control and access to

hundreds of ca"le channels mean that toda ad!ertising must interest and entertain consumers or

else the $ill simpl use the remote to change the channel. +e$ digital de!ices e!en threaten tomake it possi"le to edit out commercials. #he de!elopment of interacti!e tele!ision, com"ining

the functions of a computer $ith access to highspeed transmission o!er ca"le lines or optical

fi"ers, $ill likel ena"le consumers to select from a !ast !ideo li"rar. Consumers $ill "e a"le to

determine not onl $hen the $atch something, "ut also, to a greater e(tent than e!er "efore,

$hat  the $ill $atch. Some industr o"ser!ers "elie!e that as consumers gain greater control

o!er their !ie$ing acti!ities, the $ill find it easier to a!oid ad!ertising.

&enerall, ad!ertising is a relati!el lo$cost method of con!eing selling messages to

numerous prospecti!e customers. It can secure leads for salesmen and middlemen " con!incing

readers to reuest more information and " identifing outlets handling the product. It can force

middlemen to stock the product " "uilding consumer interest. It can help train dealers salesmen

in product uses and applications. It can "uild dealer and consumer confidence in the compan

and its products " "uilding familiarit. Ad9erti)in+ i) t! )timulate mar*et demand. 8hile

sometimes ad!ertising alone ma succeed in achie!ing "uer acceptance, preference, or e!en

demand for the product, it is seldom solel relied upon. Ad!ertising is efficientl used $ith at

least one other sales method, such as personal selling or pointofpurchase displa, to directl

mo!e customers to "uing action.

ad!ertising to make their !ie$points kno$n to the pu"lic at large. Ad!ertising assumes real

economic importance too. Ad!ertising strategies that increase the num"er of units sold stimulate

economies in the production process. #he production cost per unit of output is lo$ered. It in turn

leads to lo$er prices. >o$er consumer prices then allo$ these products to "ecome a!aila"le to

recogni9ed as a "usiness acti!it like other acti!ities.

In a !er real sense the integrit of promotional acti!ities rests on ho$ $ell those

defined o"'ecti!es for $hich the results can "e measured. An social institution upon $hich a

It is easier to assess the communication effect of ad!ertising than the sales effect. Man

firms tr to measure the effecti!eness of ad!ertising in terms of sales results "ut this practice is

al$as misleading. Since, the effect is the result of so man !aria"les, a distinct effect of

ad!ertising on sales cannot "e correctl measured, Although there ma "e some e(ceptions. %or

e(ample direct mail ad!ertising can effecti!el "e measured " the inuiries recei!ed. But inman situations the e(act relationship "et$een ad!ertising acti!it and sales cannot "e

esta"lished satisfactoril.

8e can correctl assume that some sales $ill occur e!en though there is no ad!ertising or

little ad!ertising or con!ersel there $ill "e no increase in sales after the point of saturation is

reached or it ma "e that sales $ill sho$ a decreasing trend at this point in spite of large amount

of e(penditure on ad!ertising is done. It is so "ecause ad!ertising is no the onl !aria"le that

effect the sales.

#hus, $e ma conduct that sales effect of ad!ertising is difficult to measure "ecause a

num"er of !aria"les affect the uantum of tales and the contri"ution of ad!ertisement cannot "e

measured separatel unless all other !aria"les are presumed to "e constant. #his situation is uite

hpothetical and almost none(istent. Added to this is the fact that ad!ertisement itself is made of

a !ariet of !aria"les such as media, messages, colours, page or time of the da, locations, the

:

si9e of the headline and the appeals used. #hus e!en if the ad!ertising !aria"le is separated this

$ould still not ans$er the uestion a"out the effecti!eness of the indi!idual components of the

ad!ertising campaign. So ad!ertisers tr to measure the communication effect of the ad!ertising.

#he final e(ternal factor in the planning frame$ork concerns en!ironmental factor social,

that is !ague and contains little specific information. -o$e!er, such an approach can result not

5!en more difficult consideration for people in!ol!ed in the ad!ertising effort is "road

irritating than entertaining, is an intrusion into an alread e(cessi!el polluted en!ironment. A

$hole set of rules is emerging to co!er ad!ertising directed at children, and ad!ertising for

IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENT

Ad!ertising has an important effect on a countrs econom, societ, culture, and

 political sstem. #his is especiall true in the ?nited States $here the ad!ertising industr plas

such a prominent role.

1( E.!n!mi. Impa.t

Most economists "elie!e that ad!ertising has a positi!e impact on the econom

 "ecause it stimulates demand for products and ser!ices, strengthening the econom "

 promoting the sale of goods and ser!ices. Manufacturers kno$ that ad!ertising can help

sell a ne$ product uickl, ena"ling them to recoup the costs of de!eloping ne$

 products. B stimulating the de!elopment of ne$ products, ad!ertising helps increase

competition. Man economists "elie!e that increased competition leads to lo$er prices,

there" "enefiting consumers and the econom as a $hole. #hese economists also argue

that " interesting consumers in purchasing goods, ad!ertising ena"les manufacturers and

others to sell their products in larger uantities. #he increased !olume of sales ena"les

companies to produce indi!idual units at lo$er costs and therefore, sell them at a lo$er

 price. Ad!ertising thus "enefits consumers " helping lo$er prices.

/ther economists, ho$e!er, "elie!e that ad!ertising is $asteful. #he argue that

the cost of ad!ertising adds to the cost of goods and that most ad!ertising simpl

encourages consumers to "u one "rand rather than another. According to this !ie$,

ad!ertising simpl mo!es sales from one compan to another, rather than increasing sales

o!erall and there" "enefiting the econom as a $hole.

>( S!.ial Impa.t

Ad!ertising can ha!e $ideranging repercussions on a societ. Some critics

suggest that ad!ertising promotes a materialistic $a of life " leading people to "elie!e

that happiness is achie!ed " purchasing products. #he argue that ad!ertising creates a

consumer culture in $hich "uing e(citing ne$ products "ecomes the foundation of the

societs !alues, pleasures, and goals.

/ther critics e(press concern o!er the $a ad!ertising has affected $omen and

racial minorit groups. Ads in the 1<4=s depicted $omen primaril as decoration or se(

o"'ects. Although millions of $omen $orked outside the home in the 1<6=s, ads

continued to focus on their role as homemakers. 8hether o$ing to the feminist

mo!ement or to $omens increasing economic po$er, after the 1<6=s it "ecame more

common to see $omen depicted in professional roles. -o$e!er, man ads toda still

emphasi9e a $omans se(ualit.

#he $a ad!ertising has depicted racial minorities has also "een harmful. *rior to

1<6=, African Americans $ere usuall sho$n in a su"ordinate position. )ue to the

influence of the ci!il rights mo!ement, ho$e!er, ad!ertisers " the 1<;=s had "egun to

depict African Americans as students, professionals, or "usiness people. -o$e!er, manAfrican American organi9ations and communit acti!ists continue to o"'ect to the $a

that alcohol and to"acco companies ha!e seemingl targeted lo$income minorit

communities $ith a hea! preponderance of outdoor ad!ertising for their products.

As ads ha!e "egun to more full reflect the li!es of $omen and African

Americans in the ?nited States, increasing attention has "een paid to the $a in $hich

ad!ertising sho$s other ethnic groups, including -ispanics, Asians, +ati!e Americans,

and 5astern 5uropeans. #here is still considera"le de"ate o!er ho$ ad!ertising influences

 pu"lic perception of gender and of particular ethnic groups.

Ad!ertising has a ma'or social impact " helping sustain mass communications

media and making them relati!el ine(pensi!e, if not free, to the pu"lic. +e$spapers,

maga9ines, radio, and "roadcast tele!ision all recei!e their primar income from

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/shweta-1doc123 43/76

#here is also concern a"out the $a in $hich adolescent girls respond to ad!ertising that

features "eautiful, thin models. esearch indicates that man adolescent girls are undul

influenced " this standard of "eaut, "ecome dissatisfied $ith their o$n "odies, and

ma de!elop eating disorders in pursuit of a thin figure. +e$ research suggests that

adolescent "os are also "eing influenced " ad!ertising images of "ulkedup, "uffed

 "odies. As a result, man "ecome dissatisfied $ith their o$n "od image, de!ote large

amounts of time to $eightlifting, and ma e!en take drugs that ha!e harmful side effects

in order to de!elop more muscle. #hose o!er the age of 6= are thought to "e less

influenced " ad!ertising, "ut some elderl people no longer process messages as easil

as ounger people, making them more suscepti"le to uestiona"le ad!ertising claims.

?( P!liti.al Impa.t

Ad!ertising is no$ a ma'or component of political campaigns and therefore has a

 "ig influence on the democratic process itself. In 1<<; more than O36: million $as spent

on election campaigns in the ?nited States. #hat amount of spending placed political

ad!ertising in the ranks of the countrs = leading ad!ertisers that ear. *olitical

ad!ertising is a relati!el ne$ de!elopment in ?.S. histor. Ad!ertising professionals did

not "ecome in!ol!ed in electoral campaigns until the 1<4=s. But since then, political

ad!ertising has gro$n in sophistication and comple(it.

*olitical ad!ertising ena"les candidates to con!e their positions on important

issues and to acuaint !oters $ith their accomplishments and personalities. #ele!ision

ad!ertising is especiall effecti!e for candidates running for national or state$ide office

 "ecause it can reach so man people at once. Candidates can also use ad!ertising to

respond effecti!el to the charges of their opponents.

Various campaign finance reform proposals, ho$e!er, ha!e tried to address the

impact of tele!ision ad!ertising on political campaigning. Because of the high cost of

tele!ision ads, the costs of political campaigns ha!e skrocketed, making it necessar for

candidates to raise mone continuall, e!en after the ha!e "een elected to office. Critics

sa this factor 'eopardi9es the democratic process " making elected officials "eholden to

3

8/12/2019 Shweta (1).Doc123

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/shweta-1doc123 44/76

$ealth contri"utors and " making it more likel that onl the $ealth $ill run for

office. Some reform proposals ha!e called for free airtime, "ut tele!ision and radio

net$orks ha!e resisted this idea.

Critics of political ad!ertising also charge that the =second tele!ision spot has

 "ecome more important to a political campaign than a thorough discussion of the issues.

As a result, !oters are "om"arded $ith image ad!ertising rather than "eing acuainted

$ith the candidates positions. #he contend that this practice is harmful to good

go!ernment. Issues are simplified, and candidates are Epackaged and soldF much like a

consumer product, there" distorting the political process.

2( Cultural Impa.t

Ad!ertising can affect cultural !alues. Some ad!ertising messages, for e(ample,

encourage aggressi!e indi!idualism, $hich ma clash $ith the traditional cultural !alues

of a countr $here the collecti!e or group is emphasi9ed o!er the indi!idual or humilit

or modest is preferred to aggressi!eness. 8ith the glo"ali9ation of the $orld econom,

multinational corporations often use the same ad!ertising to sell to consumers around the

$orld. Some critics argue that ad!ertising messages are thus helping to "reak do$n

distinct cultural differences and traditional !alues, causing the $orld to "ecomeincreasingl homogeneous.

Man ad!ertising campaigns, ho$e!er, ha!e uni!ersal appeal, o!erriding cultural

differences, or the contri"ute to culture in a positi!e $a. -umor in ad!ertising has

made man ad campaigns $idel popular, in some cases achie!ing the status of folklore

or taking on ne$ life in another arena. %or e(ample, a popular ad campaign for a fast

food chain $ith the slogan E8heres the "eefF "ecame part of the 1<;= )emocratic

 presidential primar campaign "et$een &ar -art and 8alter Mondale. #he ad ridiculed

a competitor " depicting a small ham"urger patt d$arfed " a huge "un. )uring a

 primar de"ate one of the candidates used the ad slogan to suggest that his opponents

campaign lacked su"stance.
