To be effective, a television commercial needs to provide a clear message or demonstration about the product and/or service the commercial is about.

Online ads are easier to customize and can be personalized for customers in very specific ways, based on information such as search history and click history.

Drawbacks of Radio Advertisements

People who are listening, especially in their cars, can easily tune out advertisements simply by switching the station. Ads are dependent on audio senses only, forcing consumers to imagine the visual element. Radio ads are often very repetitive, and take up a lot of air time on many stations.

Consumers tend to like consistency, so there is a risk in attempting to change a product's message.

Benefits of Television Advertisements

Television commercials can increase sales by reaching a wide consumer base. Television commercials can be focused on a particular target market.

Cooperative Advertising

This common form of advertising is used by wholesalers and manufacturers who jointly advertise a product. For example, if a manufacturer wants to promote a new coffeemaker, it might team up with a wholesaler or retailer of household goods to advertise the product. Because the product is advertised directly from the manufacturer, the wholesaler is then able to sell it at a discounted price, and keep track of supplies so it can have large quantities in stock.

Promotional Advertising

This form of advertising involves creating an ad campaign featuring a special activity of some kind as part of the promotion. For example, sale promotions might offer discounted prices on featured products for a limited time, or advertise a free gift with a minimum purchase. This type of advertising also applies to product displays that draw customers to buy products or services.

Direct Mail

This form of advertising was one of the earliest methods of sending product information to consumers. Often termed promotional mail, direct mailing includes catalogs, flyers, and product or service brochures.

Price

This identifies the cost of the good or service. The company sets a price for the good or service by considering many factors beyond the profit it wants to make. Questions: How much are people willing to pay? Should this product be a "high end" product that costs more, or a "value" option that saves people money?

Product

This identifies the good or service being sold and what is unique or special about it. Questions: What makes our product different from similar products? What will our product packaging look like?

Place

This identifies where and how the product is sold. Questions: Should we have retail stores, or sell our product entirely online? Should we have other retailers sell our product?

Advertising Product Features

This strategy can be carried out by a local store, but oftentimes it is part of the company's overall campaign. These ads tend to focus solely on a single featured product. Advertisements and promotions generally come directly from a manufacturer or producer of the product. Advertising focuses exclusively on the product features or benefits.
