Dear viewers,i narrate two stories for your benefit.One of George Washington,President of USA. He was very fond of readings and use to visit library for books.One while he was returning,he heard some body perhaps a lady,murmuring,that Washington as President is ok,but i am bored of listening his name over and again,why he should not resign.And another is the Bollywood flick featuring  Kamalahasan and Riti Agnihotri in seventy. There was hardly any advertisement and the picture was super duper hit. it therefore shows that repetition is bad and the advertisement blitz is no guarnary for success.

Definitely a new feature adds value to product and enhances  its appeal to customers,but Repetition is what  creates Brand so we have to make a judicious choice of what to repeat and where to add feature. Take the case of HLL their main bread and butter are surf, lifeboy,clinic plus and fair and lovely, although they have added more features in these but they have retained the basic name and features. Even Coca Cola failed when they modified their drink drastically thus addding of feature should be after a detailed market analysis.

I think it is repetation which creats brand image. for example, during IPL, its zoozoo ads that creats a brand themself. look around the release of almost every movie, there is so much buzz that u can't ignore them. there may be an exception like that kamalahasan flick. but this is very necessary for creating awareness about product. Once ur product is established in market, then u dont have to do as much advertising.

I beleiev repitation is always good if we also include some fresh ideas or features in it like repitation of any brand is important to manange the brand image but the same time to maintain the brand adding new ingredints is also equally important.

there are two things one should avoid overkill and underkill both are dangerous. overkill kills the interest in the product/service and underkill results in under exposure of the product/service. One should do a balancing act in advertising and should do sufficient market research before claiming the features that may be available in other products.

I take any over advertised product as substandard. If the product is good it will sell with limited marketing ads.

It is true with the philososphy of religious propoganda also. Others should be attracted to it by experiencing the way of life of those follow certain religion; not by propoganda or by any sort of compulson.

From point view of aware customers: To be in competition due to emergence of new techniques and innovations in the present world it is very vital that one should not repeat it back and forth. It includes for both any type of practice or any feature in the product.

From point view of unaware customers: Repetition is good for a Building a brand image and very important for creating awareness among potential customers and is also helpful to marketing dept. for a certain period of time.

Repeating the same thing for a particular period of time helps to create a image in the minds of the consumer in sales. Repetition/repeating triggers vibration in the minds but one should not practice it for a long period. After having established new features shall be added to the products for further development. It can be differentiated from the competitors. Without proper stuff, the repetition will never help in the long run.

You can not sell the same item for long , unless additional features are added.In case the additional features are not added,withdraw the product from the market and launch a new product. Avoid advertisement blitz and wait for the consumer response.

Repetition in any beneficial activity is always good. Repetition reinforces the image in the mind of the customer. There are sayings - Out of sight, Out of Mind, Old Habits die hard.... These sayings were based on repetition....

Repetition to the point of nauseation is not recommended for specific activities. This point is inferred based on the feedback from the customers and the advertisement campaign or any other activity is modified so that this point is not breached. Alternatively, in certain other activities like learning, repetition is recommended and the more it is done, the better you become. Thus, repetition is context specific....

However, for any beneficial activity, repetition is the key. For e.g. - If a product needs to increase its sales, repetition is required for it to succeed so that the brand image is retained in the minds of the customer. If you want to improve your learning skills, repetition is effective. In diverse and disparate activities, repetition leads to success.

Thus, there are always outliers (data) which does not support the normal scenario. This may not lead to the conclusion that repetition does not help the activity to succeed....

I agree with Ashish. If you look at the add of VIvel Soap it started with Kareena and kept on repeating for a year and now the advertisement changed or for that matter not being repeated. Does this say all?

A little bit of repetition is good since it helps to reenforce the product on one's memory. But an overdose can kill , unless new features are added or the message is shown in a different way
