Above And Beyond Promotion

Marketing wise, Red Bull are the king of the soft drink trade. They took a completely different strategy than their competitors and now they are one of the worlds most recognized youth brands, with large scale exposure in every country in the world.
They started with an extremely low budget – but have managed to become a household and more importantly one of the coolest most respected brands in today’s society.

Almost all companies launching or revamping a brand today are looking at Red Bulls advertising strategy and seeing what they can learn from it.

In terms of brand image, youth respectability and budget – guerrilla advertising and selected sponsorship have always worked well for emerging brands.

TV and billboard advertising are wasted on such a low budget. That sort of money could give you a healthy chunk of brand presence in some selected markets alongside a large slice of viral or traditional internet marketing.

Brand image, creative marketing and solid brand building should always come before gimmicks, rewards, vouchers, competitions etc… The latter options just devalue a brand in the long term.

For the amount of money you are talking about, you must be employing a advertising agency? Probably time to rip up that contract and find a new one?

Maybe this will help you, I don’t know.
I don’t think women are exploited. A person can be exploited and some are, no doubt.
Also, I think that the women who get paid for being in advertizements are doing it for the money, that is they are more prostituting themselves, rather than being exploited. They had a choice and made their choices.

This should help, it’s the process we use at ad agencies.

I’m not sure if you mean billboard AND print or just an outdoor billboard, but either way this process will get you from assignment to concept.

Start by thinking about the end benefit – strong healthy teeth for a cat. Now, how far can you push that? What are the signs of strong teeth? What can a cat do with strong teeth? Then exaggerate it. Can she bite through the billboard? Hang onto it by her teeth? Does that mean a house cat with saber-tooth tiger teeth? And what are the implications? Where’s the “uh-oh” factor – as in “We may have made our Dentabites too good.” Like that. The exercise is to take what you’re selling (which is never the product, but the benefit) and make it as memorable as possible by pushing it to its extreme. This is where the humor or shock value exists and where you find the best ads.

Just focus on the end benefit and don’t be afraid to follow even the most ridiculous idea as far as you can. Then once you’ve got a basic concept you like, execute it as simply as possible. If it’s all in the visual, don’t bother with headlines or body copy. If you’ve got a great headline, make that the hero of the ad. And always always remember, only put as much on a billboard as someone can get in 3 – 4 seconds. So no copy at all. Big visual, short headline or just big headline but not much.

I have no idea but car dealers spend fortunes to try to convince you to buy-much like many other products. It is included in the price of the car-certainly. . .

admin answers:

Nobody can legally place a billboard on your property without your permission. You can require rent to be paid as a condition for allowing it to be there.

If you bought the property from someone who allowed it to be put there, you MAY have bought the property subject to the terms of whatever agreement there was between them.

For instance, the person who sold it to you may have charged ten years of rent in advance. If so, you may not be able to get anything more from them until that ten years is up.

You’re right, it doesn’t seem fair, does it? But unfortunately it
is a necessary evil required in order to sell and promote
products. There is too much competition these days not to
advertise and try to convince the shopper of why they need
your product. It’s the difference that makes a successful
business and one that fails.
I especially don’t like to see page after page of it in mag-
azines, so I am more selective now with what I buy. Since
I don’t plan to buy a magazine that is mostly ads, no matter
how many scented cologne papers I find among the pages.
When you consider how much an average ad may cost
these days, and multiply that by ‘x’ number of pages in most
magazines, you can get a little idea of how much money
these advertisers are paying the magazine to show their
products. And they complain about the cost of producing
their monthly magazines? I guess they think the buying public
is too naive.
The cost of advertising on TV is much more expensive
than on paper or billboards. And it is annoying to see so
many ads fill our screens every ten or maybe even more
minutes. But there doesn’t seem to be any solution to
that, unless you totally watch the Public Broadcasting
channel that provides commercial free programming,
but does want your donation dollar instead.

Hi There,

Congratulations for thinking ahead before applying a quick fix to your apparent awareness problem. Many great products failed to be proitable because they are spending too much in the wrong media to reach their users.

A great advertising or marketing needs to start somewhere. The right place to start before even thinking what to say and where to say it is to look at your product proposition. People in the industry call it USP ( Unique Selling Proposition). Analyse your product. Identify who would want it and why they need to want it. Be honest and identify the killer reason to make people want. Do not fall into the common trap of “my product has everything better” as usually it is not the case.

Then analyse the “who” element and what makes the decision to buy. Sometimes it is not the end user that makes the purchase decision.

Now you have identify who wants it and why they need to want it you can safely select your media.

It is most important to indentify what is most cost effective instead which is the cheaper one. How cost effective is measured by numbers of people IN YOUR WHO list that reads or it reaches( you can get it from the media audit for printed media like newspaper or estimates rom the publisher), how much you pay for it (production cost and distribution cost)and how many will respond to the ad(your creativity in ensuring that more people in your list to respond) . Average out with various media.

I wish i can do a better job for you but since I have no idea where you are and what you local cost is, I wish you the best with advise that you seek professional ad company to work out the media. Get freelancers that have strong local marketing knowledge to save cost. You may even speak to some big agencies to do it as a pro-bono and sponsor since you belong to a non profit Organisation.

All the best

Ambiguous how? Most advertising slogans are not product/service specific. For example, McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” can be for food, clothes, adult-oriented products, etc. “Have it your way” from Burger King can also be used with a variety of products/services.

I do not know the answer to your question but if you are asking because you have such an idea here is some advice: Before you share it with anyone, write it down & mail yourself a copy, then do not open the envelope. Keep that unopened envelope in a very safe place while you try to market your idea, and keep a record of who you share it with & when. If anyone rips off your idea, the unopened, postmarked envelope will be evidence that you had the idea before the date of your conversations with them. Sorry I cannot help with the $$$ question.

In general, not much. Companies like Mountain Dew spend tens of millions on advertising every year. Very little is spent on the concept, most is spent on execution (filming the ads, photography, computer artwork, then paying $$$ to have them put in magazines and TV).

If you have what you think is a great idea, approach an ad agency and see if you could get work there. One idea won’t make you a lot of money, but a stream of good ideas may get you a job working at an agency!

Agencies vary greatly. Some work on a retainer. You pay them so much annually or monthly, and they handle all of your advertising. Others will work on a project-by-project basis. You give them the project, and they bid on it.

There are several things to keep in mind. When you advertise, you have two costs — creative and media. For example, if you are producing a newspaper ad, an agency will charge you for the creative time of designing the ad. If you also employ their services to buy the ad space from the newspaper, they will also work with the newspaper to place the ad and will pass along what the newspaper charges to you. Media buying is where the percentages come in. When they place your ads, they get what is called an agency discount, BUT they will still charge you the normal price of the ad. So, they are keeping the amount of the discount for their fee. If you opt to have them do the creative, and you place the ad yourself, you can ask the newspaper, or radio or TV station for the discount yourself. It’s called an in-house agency discount. One other thing. If an agency handles something like a direct mail project for you, you can opt to have the agency create the direct mail piece, work with a printer and a mailhouse to complete the entire project. Or, you can have the agency handle the creative only, get the file from them, take it to a printer yourself and work with the post office to mail it yourself. My point is that what you pay to the agency on a project depends on what aspects of the job you have them handle.

My advice is to contact two or three agencies. Ask to see samples of their work. If you like what you see, ask whether they only work on a retainer or on a project-by-project basis. If you have a small business, the latter may be the most cost-effective way for you to go. Perhaps you would use them for large projects, and handle some of the smaller ones yourself. If you do that, it wouldn’t make sense to be paying anyone a monthly retainer.

I do have one other suggestion. Freelancers are also an option for you. You may not need to work with a full-fledged agency. I was formerly an S.V.P. of Marketing who left my position and started my own consulting company specifically for small businesses. I’m a one-person show working out of my home, so I can offer more affordable prices for a small business owner. Your freelancer will typically charge by the hour, with the rate depending on where you live. There are sites on the internet where you can find freelancers, such as http://www.ifreelance.com. To find someone locally, start asking around. Are there other small businesses in town who have advertising you like? Contact them and ask who does their advertising. More than likely, one of them is using a freelancer. Your Chamber of Commerce or local SCORE office may also have the name of marketing/advertising freelancers.

When you open your “mail box” there is a check box in front of each message. Check the boxes of the mail you don’t want and go up to the tool bar and click on SPAM. Your server will automatically delete these messages before they get to you. It may take a while to get rid of all of them, but it’s worth the effort.

For the most part, ad agencies are not going out of business. They are, however, rapidly changing with new technology and going away from the traditional points of reaching their markets. With recent advances in rotating electronic billboards, media-based cell phones (or on-the-go processors i.e. netbooks/ iPads), social networking sites, and several advances that will be made in the near future, advertising budgets are actually growing to meet the current demands in “new media” over the last couple of years (despite the recession) and will grow even more soon, but they are cutting back heavily on allocated expenditures on traditional TV commercial advertising, stand-alone magazine ads, and the “old” way of creating market awareness.

The biggest advice you can have right now is: follow the current technology trends because that is what is paving the way in advertising, production, and consumerism right now, more so than I have ever seen. There has been a huge spike in social media and computer integration with everything- from digital cameras, post workflows, broadcast, to how we will view this media and be reached at home or “out of home”. It will be surprising for many people how quickly things will change in the next couple of years.
