CONCLUSION OF EFFECT OF ADVERTISING:
It has always been a matter of concern for the advertising professionals to oversee the effect of
advertising as a result of their effort and the advertising campaign. Therefore following
conclusions of the effect of advertising can be a good guide to understand the effectiveness.
·  Advertising works on people just like you & me ---- not just on "more gullible" people.
·  More Ads fail than ones outstandingly successful. The great majority ads are mediocre in
effect.
·  Many a times, advertising is not sure if it is working.
·  Many agencies do not know as to how or why advertising works.
HOW TO PROMPT AWARENESS:
It should be remember that every Ad. awareness question has a PROMPT more technically
called a CUE. When you want people to remember you have to prompt them with a retrieval
Cue. The question is to use Which Cue?
Should you use:
1. Ad execution Cue.
2. The Brand Cue.
3. The Category Cue.
Let us use an example of advertising use the example of an advertising for an "ABC" brand
CHARGE CARD!
One can ask three types of questions:
1.
Execution ­ Cued: Have you seen an ad telling about a brand of charge card where you
receive an incentive for every 100 Rupees you spend?
2.
Brand ­ Cued: Have you seen an Ad recently for ABC charge card?
3.
Category ­ Cued: Describe for me any ads you have seen for Charge Cards recently?

BRAND VS. CATEGORY CUEING
In order to compare the important question is which cue is best to use? The one with category
cue or the brand cue!
The following alternatives are discussed below:
Category ­ Cued. Describe for me any Ads you have seen for Credit Cards!
·  People recall & describe what happened in the Ad.
Brand ­ Cued. Have you seen any Ads for ABC card recently?
·  Here the Brand is provided.
PROBLEM WITH MEDIA OR THE AD
In order to determine the larger gaps between the level of execution Cued Ad awareness and
the cumulative Reach indicate whether there was:
·  A media schedule problem ­ people are without the opportunity to see the Ad
OR
·  An AD Problem ­ People though had an opportunity to see it but failed to notice it or at
least enough to recognize or recall it.
In the following lines the negatives and positives of Category - Cueing are discussed to enable
the selection of proper "prompt" for positive results.
NEGATIVES OF CATEGORY ­ CUEING:
·  Categories are often difficult to be defined.
·  At times it is difficult to use category - cueing.
POSITIVES OF CATEGORY ­CUEING
·  Allows complete coverage of Ads. for all brands.
·  Does not miss out on Ads for New Brands.
·  Clearly the easiest to manage from a questionnaire point of view
CREATING DESIGN THAT SELLS
The most important factor of an advertisement is that it should have the desired impact and
effectiveness to achieve the objectives of the advertiser / client. The main question is?
What makes a design effective?
·  The Overall "Look"!
·  Incorporate necessary "Graphic Elements".
·  Showcase the "Selling Copy".
·  Lead Reader's eye to "Selling Points".
The important element in this regard is:
· The Headlines and Illustrations or Photos which make the Ad stand out in so many.
PHOTOS & ILLUSTRATIONS:
Photos and illustrations create lot of impact as the viewer of advertisement is tempted to focus
the attention and later on read the copy to be ready for action i.e. use / purchase.
·  Use photographs or illustrations, but images should be interesting.
·  Should be printed with a true ­to-life look .
·  Use special effects to make them look soft, extra bold, grainy or to change their
appearance in a variety of other ways.
·  Illustrations include everything from drawings to photos.
