PURPOSES OF ADVERTISING:(1) To prompt action: Direct action advertising is designed to

motivate people to act. It involves ads that try to persuade people

to make a purchase, call a phone number, or mail/fax/email an order form, and includes many of the common ads consumers see in newspapers, in-store adverting and package advertising.

(2) To encourage information search: In some cases, it is unreasonable to assume

that a consumer is ready to make an immediate purchase based solely on advertising. In these cases, consumers need more information – a test drive or a demonstration – before making up their minds.

(3) To relate product to needs:

A less direct form of advertising, this category includes those ads that draw a link in the consumers’ minds between the product and their needs as a consumer.

(4)To encourage recall of past product satisfaction and prompt a repurchase:

Ads of this nature are designed to summon memories of past satisfaction and get customers to purchase a product again.

(5) To modify attitudes: One of the more challenging objectives facing advertisers is to modify attitudes towards a product. This is often appropriate when a firm’s product has received a bad reputation for one reason or another or if a firm is attempting to recapture customers they lost to a competitor

(6)To reinforce attitudes: The final category of advertising objectives seeks

to reinforce attitudes that customers already have

towards a product. Market leaders (such as Coke or McDonald’s) often use this to maintain their market share and volume.

Advertisements work because they make an effective appeal to some need or desire in the people who view, read or listen to them.
