Resumo de Advertising And Promotion

Global Advertising Copious brands in the market have produced an expansive choice for the consumers. In the wake, diverse brands have created a rugged competition among the producers to carve a major market share. To craft awareness of their respective products or services, producers find their feet in advertising. Advertising is defined as any of the various methods used by a company to increase the sales of its products or services or create a brand name. It is also defined as an impersonal and paid form of selling a product or a service. Global Advertising Some of the opponents of the standardized global approach argue that it is impossible to promote a product globally with a common advertisement as each country differs with the other in caste, culture, religion, language, attitudes, market, consumer needs, economic development and such other characteristics. Hence, the role of advertising to inform and promote a particular brand and directing the consumers towards that particular brand can be done within a given culture. Consumer usage patterns diverge from one country to another demanding the advertisers/producers to alter their marketing and advertising approach. For example, Nestle Company faced hindrances in promoting their instant coffee in various countries for reasons listed below. In the United States, the idea of instant coffee had great penetration but Nescafe had the minor share In Continental Europe, Nescafe had the major share of market , but the idea of instant coffee was in its inception In countries like United Kingdom and Japan where majority of them were tea drinkers, the advertisers had to convert the tea drinkers not just to coffee drinkers but to instant coffee drinkers In Latin America, heavy coffee was preferred instead of instant coffee In the above existing situation, Nestle had to plan various advertising strategies for various countries. Nestle especially encountered a problem to enter the Israeli market in 1995. Nescafe was understood by the Israelis as an abbreviation of the Hebrew word namess (dissolving). Israeli consumers were also not demanding regarding the quality of the coffee they consumed. They considered low quality powdered coffee or the Nescafe to be suitably fare. To overcome the general connotation of Nescafe, the company advertised the product as ?Nescafe of Nestle? and portrayed it as the coffee choice of people all around the world. The company also relied on taste testing at the points of sale so that consumers could experience the taste. Within one year, Nestle had 30 per cent of the instant coffee market in Israel.
