Hire professionals to handle your advertising.

idea posted by Jayant Vishnu Art Director/Sr Art Director, Creative


When your sick, call a doctor! When you have legal problems, call a lawyer! When you need to advertise, hire an ad agency. You need to concentrate your time and efforts in areas of your business that you’re proficient in.

Advertising is the one area where people try to tell the professionals what to do and how to do it. You wouldn’t tell a doctor what treatment to prescribe, just like you wouldn’t tell your lawyer how to defend you.

You can lose a lot of time and money while trying to act as your own ad agency. Agencies are experts. They charge for their time and experience and have one goal in mind: To get the best results for their clients in order to keep those clients.

To add to Jayant’s point, though there are several ads being made by advertising agencies, but than too it is hard to see any clutter breaking ad. In my view very few advertising agenises are being treated as a communication partners, clients mostly treat them as “ Do as directed” vendors. At the same time agencies should not treat clients as moneymaking machine. They both need to be in similar platform.They both need to feel the pinch. As the understanding will go the quality of work will improve.

ADS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS A VERY CLEARLY DEFINED TARGET GROUP

idea posted by RAMACHANDRAN NURANI DIRECTOR, MEDILEAVZ (INDIA) LTD
In today's marketing arena - with millions of product/service packages-it is not the words nor the visuals of an Ad that is important. The words and visuals serve only to the extent of attracting attention. Unless the Ads are addressed to a clearly defined Target Group communicating clearly the product benefits to this Target Group, it will always be clutter only - and little else. The Human Brain is very selective. Any stimulus -however brilliant it may be - will create a response only when it is meaningful to the person to whom it is addressed. We see hundreds of Ads in Newspaper and TV during the course of the day.But we remember only those ads which address our unsatisfied need or unsolved problem. As such the Human Brain itself is a "Cluster sifting Machine". Ambigous Ads not addressing any particular Target Group with a Product/Service package is likely to get lost in this clutter. Therefore , an Ad addressing a clearly defined Target Group, in simple language that this Target Group can understand and describing how the product/service can be beneficial to them will automatically lift it from the "clutter".

SHOULD STAND APART FROM OTHERS

idea posted by s.baalu Consultant, XYZ LTD

IN TODAY`S CONTEXT WHEN THERE ARE TOO MANY ADS  IN TOO SHORT A TIME UNLESS AND UNTIL AN AD STANDS OUT FROM OTHERS,IT FAILS TO BE VIEWED BY THE PROSPECTIVE BUYER WHO ALWAYS WATCHES THE TV WITH A REMOTE IN HAND.AND IN PRESS PEOPLE PAY VERY LITTLE TIME TO GO THRO IT.

Plan your advertising calendar several months in advance.

idea posted by Namrata Pathak Accounts Manager, American Express

Good One Mr. Jayant. Truly it is really difficult to break the clutter, but with proper planning one can do it.Failure to plan advertising in advance wastes a lot of your money. Rush charges, poor vehicle choices, rate increases, poor creative and poor copy are common results of failing to plan in advance.

“We didn’t have enough time”, “We were under the gun to get this placed”, are common phrases heard under rushed circumstances. Take a blank calendar and fill in the days, months or quarters to advertise to your target markets. Figure out the number of ad insertions that will make sense and negotiate a contract with the various media suppliers.

Ads designed on a scale

idea posted by Mathew Cherian Research Associate/Analyst, Western Michigan University

Ads are designed for a particular product and the target market wheich are ascertained. Even media selection to project the ad is studied based on scales detemined by marketing science.

Ads, can be done by projecting a spokes person, or projecting a significant parallel to what is to be conveyed, to show how the product functions on a tv or other visible mediums or an idol the niche can identify vouching for the product.

Then products should be designed in such a way that it can be easily projected in the advertisement, the colour, the hue, visibility of functions etc;.

These are some of the scales that can be used to promote a project through advertising.

THINK " OUT OF THE BOX IDEAS"

idea posted by Naushad H.L. Creative Director, MAD COMMUNICATION

In order to be seen in a Clutter... Your Ad Campaign has to be OUT OF THE BOX... which can deliver the message & touch your target buyer at the same time.

A Campaign which Keeps your Customer's Interest Alive & keeps them Involved. A Campaign which dosent allow them to look at other competitive Brands.

One way to break through the clutter is to choose altenative media like sms or interactive billboards, road shows etc. to get your message accross. The actual list depends upon the product you are handling and the target audience you are trying to reach.
