How many types have on Advertising Agencies?
admin answers:
Types of Advertising Agencies:—
All agencies are not the same of course. This section discusses the various types of agencies including the following:
1.Full Service:—
These agencies offer their clients a full range of services including account services, marketing planning and research, media planning and buying, sales promotion, creative services, and interactive media. The various departments of a full service agency include:
•Account services:—
The link between the advertising agency and its clients. Account executives serve as the liaison between the agency and client and are responsible for coordinating the agency’s efforts in planning, creating and producing ads.
•Marketing services:—
Many full-service agencies provide a variety of marketing services to their clients and maintain departments such as research, strategy and planning and media. In a full-service agency the media department is very important since many clients are consolidating their media buying to save money and improve media efficiency.
•Creative services:—
Agency personnel in this department include artists and copywriters who are responsible for the creation and execution of the clients advertising messages. Creative services may also include print and broadcast production departments which are responsible for actually producing the advertising messages and putting them into final form. The traffic department coordinates all phases of production and sees that all ads are completed on time and deadlines for submitting the ads to the media are met.
?Management and finance:—
Like any other business, an advertising agency must be managed and must perform basic operating and administrative functions such as accounting, finance and human resources
Attention should also be given to the two basic types or agency organization structures used by agencies. Under the departmental system each of the agency functions is set up as a separate department and is called upon to perform its specialty for all of the agency’s clients. Many agencies use the group system in which individuals from each department work together as teams to service a particular account. Many clients prefer the group system because agency employees become very familiar with their business and it ensures continuity in servicing the account.
Other Types of Agencies and Services are:
1.Creative Boutiques:—
These types of agencies specialize in and provide only advertising creative services. IMC Perspective 3-2 provides some insights into these small agencies.
2.Media buying services:—
These are independent companies that specialize in media planning and buying. Many companies use independent media buying to plan and purchase media and an advertising agency to handle their creative work.

In 2003 there were over 13,500 such U.S. and international agencies listed in the Standard Directory of Advertising Agencies, (The “Red Book” can be accessed at www.redbooks.com) ranging in size from one and two person operations to those with almost a billion dollars in worldwide income.
A. The Ad Agency’s Role—external agencies provide a variety of services to their clients, including those discussed in the previous section. Though many clients have the capabilities of performing these roles themselves, they elect to use outside agencies for the following reasons:

That`s not a quick survey,

Robert asks…
Whats a good attention getter to write the letter below?
Assume the role of vice president of marketing for Krisbee Snax, a midsized snack food manufacturer in the Northeast. Your company is introducing a new snack food. The snack food industry is very competitive, and you believe your best chance to introduce the new product, Krisbee Korns, is to get grocery stores to feature the tasty, low-fat snacks on their end-of-aisle displays. Your company has a good reputation for quality snacks, and this new product promises to be a top seller. However, most grocery stores reserve the end-of-aisle display space for the bigger food companies in the industries.
You are willing to offer a sizeable discount (50 percent) in the price you charge retailers for the new product in exchange for this prime location in their stores during the month of September. In addition to this promotional allowance, you also plan a big advertising campaign for this new product, which should increase their sales even more.
Write a letter to Ms. Betty Eagleston, corporate buyer for Thriftway grocery store chain, persuading her to feature Krisbee Korns on the end-of-aisle displays in Thriftway stores during the month of September. Write to her at the corporate headquarters located at 4815 Crane Creek Road in Avondale, WV 24811.

Good grief Charlie Brown….do your own homework.

John asks…
Help on my landscaping and construction business plan i need answers under each topic please help asap.?
Promotion
How will you get the word out to customers?
Advertising: What media, why, and how often? Why this mix and not some other?
Have you identified low-cost methods to get the most out of your promotional budget?
Will you use methods other than paid advertising, such as trade shows, catalogs, dealer incentives, word of mouth (how will you stimulate it?), and network of friends or professionals?
Should you have a system to identify repeat customers and then systematically contact them?
How much will you spend on the items listed above? Where will this money come from?
Image
What image do you want to project? How do you want customers to see you?
What plans do you have for graphic image support? This includes things like logo design, cards and letterhead, brochures, signage, and interior design (if customers come to your place of business).
Pricing
Explain your method or methods of setting prices.
Compare your prices with those of the competition. Are they higher, lower, the same? Why?
For most small businesses, having the lowest price might take away from profit margin; large competitors can under price you anyway.
Will you have average prices and compete on quality and service?
Does your pricing strategy fit with what was revealed in your competitive analysis?
How important is price as a competitive factor? Do your intended customers really make their purchase decisions mostly on price?
Proposed Location
Is your location important to your customers? If yes, how?
If customers come to your place of business:
Is it convenient? Parking? Interior spaces? Not out of the way?
Is it consistent with your image?
Is it what customers want and expect?
Where is the competition located? Is it better for you to be near them (like car dealers or fast food restaurants) or distant (like convenience food stores)?
What qualities do you need in a location? Describe the type of location you’ll have.
Physical requirements:
• Amount of space
• Type of building
• Zoning
• Power and other utilities
Access:
Is it important that your location be convenient to transportation or to suppliers?
Do you need easy walk-in access?
What are your requirements for parking and proximity to freeway, airports, railroads, and shipping centers?
Include a drawing or layout of your proposed facility if it is important, as it might be for a manufacturer.
Construction? Most new companies should not sink capital into construction, but if you are planning to build, costs and specifications will be a big part of your plan.
Cost: Estimate your occupation expenses, including rent, but also including maintenance, utilities, insurance, and initial remodeling costs to make the space suit your needs.
What will be your business hours?
Distribution Channels
How do you sell your products or services?
• Retail
• Direct (mail order, Web, catalog)
• Wholesale
• Your own sales force
• Agents
• Independent representatives
• Bid on contracts
……I need answers for these in your opinion for a business plan for a landscaping and construction company please help

Thats alot try posting one question at a time.
I do know that word of mouth is the beat way to advertise. Canvassing close neiborhoods door to door offering your services (not being too pushy or passive) can be very effective if you do it wel. “Hi, sorry to bother you. I’m just stopping by advertising for landscaping co. that is currently working in your neiborhood…” Have a flyer with standard prices, offer free estimates. “…and if you schedule today you get ____ for free!
