One of the objectives of a creative advertising strategy discussed in lecture was promoting brand recall. (14 points) a)What is the idea of promoting brand recall in advertising? Explain why brand recall is particularly relevant to the advertising of "low- involvement" goods. (4 points) b)Describe the primary method of promoting brand recall, ways to support it, and give one example used in class.(6 points) c)Research suggests that advertisers should exert caution when attempting to use certain methods of advertising to promote brand recall. List at one of those methods and briefly describe what research has found. (4 points)

a)The basic idea here is that brands that are recalled (e.g. are in the top of mind or evoked set for a product category) ae often the once purchased. (2 points) This is especially true for low involvement goods, which are most Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs)—such items as soap, laundry detergent, cereal, canned soup, chewing gum, etc. In the case of low-involvement goods, the first brand remembered is often the most likely brand to be purchased and just the recall of a name can drive the purchase decision as consumers engage in limited search and buy by habit (2 points). b)The primary methods used to promote easy brand recall is repetition of the brand. (2 points). Repetition ads play off the notion that things said more often will be remembered more easily than things said less frequently, and so the brand name is mentioned over and over again (1 point). This can also be supported through the use of slogans and jingles, images and logos. These rely on linguistic devices to enhance brand name retrieval, such as metaphors, rhyme, and (in the case of jingles) music, or easily memorable shapes and associations in the case of images and logos (2 points). One of the example here was the Yellow People (Folgers) ad (1 point). This can also be done by creating a unique selling proposition and linking a key attribute to the brand. We used the M&M and Haribo ad as an example here. c)We talked about three methods in a bit more detail here: Humor ads: The goal of humor is to create a pleasant and memorable association with the product for the consumer. However, research shows that humorous messages may affect comprehension and can potentially interfere with memory of the brand: the consumer remembers the punchline, but doesn't remember what brand it was for. In addition, humor can attract attention without increasing the effectiveness or persuasive impact of the advertisement.Fear-appeal ads: Research also indicates that fear appeals should be used with caution as the can short-circuit persuasion and result in a negative attitude toward the advertised product. Whether or not a fear appeal is successful may also come down to how believable the fear is, and how clearly an escape from this fear is identified and explained.Comparison ads: Finally, we have discussed comparison ads (e.g. Apple vs Microsoft, and Pepsi vs Coca Cola). Among the research findings reported here is the fact that these ads sometimes increase toe attention on the high share brand (e.g. Coca Cola). Direct comparison is more effective if members of the target audience have not demonstrated clear brand preference in their product choices. Also, these ads are almost always used by the underdog brand, the brand that wishes to be seen in the company of the market leader, rarely by the leader themselves.
