Major Public Relations Tools 4 Explain how companies use PR to communicate with their publics. Advertising Advertising is any paid form of nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Marketing management must make four important decisions when developing an advertising program: setting advertising objectives, setting the advertising budget, developing advertising strategy (message decisions and media decisions), and evaluating advertising campaigns. Setting Advertising Objectives • It’s used heavily when introducing a new-product category.

Comparative advertising • Some persuasive advertising has become comparative advertising (or attack advertising), in which a company directly or indirectly compares its brand with one or more other brands. Setting the Advertising Budget • After determining its advertising objectives, the company next sets its advertising budget─The dollars and other resources allocated to a product or a company advertising program─for each product. • A brand’s advertising budget often depends on its stage in the product life cycle. • New products typically need relatively large advertising budgets to build awareness and to gain consumer trial. • Market share also impacts the amount of advertising needed: • Because building the market or taking market share from competitors requires larger advertising spending than does simply maintaining current share, low-share brands usually need more advertising spending as a percentage of sales. Developing Advertising Strategy Advertising strategy is the strategy by which the company accomplishes its advertising objectives. It consist of two major elements: creating advertising messages and selecting advertising media.

Evaluating Advertising Effectiveness and the Return on Advertising Investment Return on advertising investment is the net return on advertising investment divided by the costs of the advertising investment. Measuring the communication effects of an ad or ad campaign tells whether the ads and media are communicating the ad message well. Advertisers have gotten pretty good at measuring the communication effects of their ads and ad campaigns. However, sales and profit effects of advertising are often much harder to measure. Other Advertising Considerations In developing advertising strategies and programs, the company must address two additional questions. • How will the company organize its advertising function— who will perform which advertising tasks? • How will the company adapt its advertising strategies and programs to the complexities of international markets? Organizing for Advertising Advertising agency is a marketing services firm that assists companies in planning, preparing, implementing, and evaluating all or portions of their advertising programs. Most large advertising agencies have the staff and resources to handle all phases of an advertising campaign for their clients, from creating a marketing plan to developing ad campaigns and preparing, placing, and evaluating ads and other brand content. International Advertising Decisions The most basic issue concerns the degree to which global advertising should be adapted to the unique characteristics of various country markets. In recent years, the increased popularity of online social networks and video sharing has boosted the need for advertising standardization for global brands. Standardization produces many benefits— lower advertising costs, greater global advertising coordination, and a more consistent worldwide image. But it also has drawbacks. Most importantly, it ignores the fact that country markets differ greatly in their cultures, demographics, and economic conditions. International Advertising Decisions Special problems Advertising media costs and availability differ vastly from country to country. Many countries have extensive systems of laws restricting how much a company can spend on advertising, the media used, the nature of advertising claims, and other aspects of the advertising program. Thus, although advertisers may develop global strategies to guide their overall advertising efforts, specific advertising programs must usually be adapted to meet local cultures and customs, media characteristics, and regulations. Public Relations Press Creating and placing newsworthy information in relations Public relations (PR) build good relations with the news media to attract attention to a person, or thepress company’s various publics by obtaining product, or service. agency favorable publicity; build up a good corporate image; andMaintaining handle orrelationships head off with unfavorable Product Investor shareholders and Publicizing specific products. rumors, stories, events.community. publicity relations others inand the financial PR departments may perform any or all of the Working with donors or members of nonprofit following functions: Public Building and maintaining national or local Developm affairs ent Lobbying organizations to gain financial or volunteer community relationships. support.

The Role and Impact of PR Public relations can have a strong impact on public awareness at a much lower cost than advertising can. Rather, it pays for a staff to develop and circulate information and manage events. Despite its potential strengths, public relations is occasionally described as a marketing stepchild because of its sometimes limited and scattered use. The point is that PR should work hand in hand with advertising within an integrated marketing communications program to help build brands and customer relationships.
