Institutional Advertising Vs Direct Sales Advertising
Posted on April 17th, 2012 in Business | No Comments »
An example of institutional ads is the typical Coca-Cola advertisement that you see on TV. Institutional ads are intended to develop the brand name, the image, the reputation, the quality and promote a desire for the customer need of the products from the viewer’s mind. Printed institutional ads tend to be very colorful and are usually placed in magazines by national manufacturers.
Most institutional ads communicate a message entirely centered on the company, the product. An example is as follow: “We are a big Multi-National company established in 1813. We have a strong and desirable product that you the consumer will need. The product has went through million of dollars of Research and Development and it is the product for you, the consumer. Please also associate the product with our company name…..”
The result is often not immediate and it may take generation to generation to imprint the message deep into the masses mind. Take the case of Coca-Cola for example. Coca-Cola the Company has over decades that span across many generations of human races on institutional advertisements to get the message across that Cola is Coke or Coca-Cola. The process takes painfully long time and spent lots of money. This is something that individual or some business owners cannot afford.
In addition, if you pay close attention, you will notice that Institutional Advertising does not take into consideration of the opinion of prospective consumer. The advertisement boost about the company and the product but did not interact personally with the prospective consumer. The Ads did not motivate the prospective consumer to take immediate action as the strategy for Institutional Advertising is more for the long run.
In recent years, there is an increase of Direct Sales Advertising. An example is the Power Raider advertisement. It is a very short advertisement but bring forth a compulsive reaction from the viewers to take action to buy the products. This is what it does….. The ads start by showing a healthy and fit looking guy with a half naked upper half with well defined abdomen working out on a machine, the Power Raider. With an urgency tone, the host goes through a series of the benefits that the viewer can expect to receive if they get the equipment. Then it goes on to promote urgency within the viewer by claiming that there are only a limited copies left. To enhance the sales, the host sells an irresistible offer by lower the price of the product by not two time, not three time but maybe 4 or 5 times. On top of that, it motivated the viewer to take action by giving out bonuses for the first 50 buyers that call in to buy. Finally, the host calls for sales by provide enough information on how the viewers can make the purchase. To remove all fear from the viewers to take action, the host offer a Money back guarantee if they are not satisfy with the products within a certain numbers of days of purchase.
This is what Direct Sales Advertising is all about. It goes for the direct kill to get the customer to pull out his credit card immediately and make the purchase.
