I certainly believe TV ads are the key drivers for inducing a brand perception in the minds of consumer. A catchy slogan, a nice story around the ad, some funny video or even an ad song can catch up a consumer mind and during the time of purchase, it clicks off and increases the purchase intention. After all, there are few seconds in the consumer mind that play role during the purchase for most of the consumer goods. Now the only point is to get a consumer perceivable product or idea and present in a consumer perceivable format (TV ad) by mixing it with elements that build up in his/her mind. Prints are also able to do that but lesser than TV ads due to obvious limitations of print media. Mobile and internet can be a secondary form of advertisement but nevertheless you can no rely totally on them untill unless your product is purely digital / web-based in most of the cases.

In today's complex world, a single medium rarely works. That is the reason for changing what was once called promotion into Integrated Marketing Communication. IMC includes advertising in all forms, publicity, personal selling, direct selling and sales promotion. The reason TV and print ads work well for consumer brands is our low span of attention and the need to make (often) impulsive purchases. Obviously there would be exceptions. Apple's IPAD has received a huge boost initially not because of any conventional method but through publicity generated in the form of rave reviews in all media. A marketer has to evaluate the potential benefits to the costs before embarking on a particular approach. In contrast, for B2B products and services, social media seems to be catching up fast as the preferred medium. The American Marketing Association has a separate dedicated team to help organizations to leverage the potential of this powerful medium. One reason for this could be the relatively extensive decision-making process that happens in a B2B situation and the ease with which one can get useful insights through social media. It is possible that someone will come up with a smart idea to exploit this powerful medium for consumer products as well.

There is nothing that gives a 100% guarantee in terms of sales!! conventional media will alwys be the preferred media for brands as the eyeballs that greet the communication is large and widespread. Nothing better than a captured audience right where the brands want them to be. Newer media formats have emerged and are rapidly expanding. Statistics point out that there is a mixed response to these newer formats and hence the reaction is mixed in terms of yield after usage of these mediums!! I would always bedget for CONVENTIONAL media first and then OTHER media!!

Yes, definitely the media branding has a much more stronger pull than any other medium. The branding in this case, adds a lot of credibility,visibility, authenticity and information base to the products. The customer gets much more detailed analysis and overview of the products in this medium.

I would say that the response would be better from print, TV and radio for consumer items. There could be exceptions for high value items such as cars, high end bikes etc.But when we look at normal consumer items which goes to the bottom of the pyramid these media play a vital role in promoting the brand.

Though the tv media atttracts the customers, Social networking is the best way of advertising. One has to believe that Networking Marketing companies such as Amway India has a great turnover than any other traditional companies. This is because customers started believing the product by one to one advertisement.

I do agree that to a certain extent television and print media play a vital role due to the reach in a short span of time.But looking at the number of MLM companies in India and the success rate at which they grew other ways of promotion do play an important role.AMWAY for example was in the initial stages never seen on television.They worked on the srategy of reducing advertising costs and passing the benefits to the consumer.There are so many small scale businesses thriving in India mainly for home made food items which cannot afford print and TV ads.So the only way is by social networking and word of mouth.There are examples of such small scale businesses growing into shops and factories at a later stage.So I do agree that the only way to create a brand is by TV and print ADS.

Hari, No advertising medium howsoever effective can guarantee. It can at best enhance visibility in terms of knowing the product. The strength of product quality can surely achieve much better.
