Does Advertising involve various strategies?



Advertising is an activity of marketing through which potential customers are informed, educated and later persuaded to buy the advertised product or service. An advertising campaign is launched only when the brand or business owner flags the green signal. Various strategies are however involved while launching an advertising campaign of a brand or business. One of the main strategies is to define the medium of communication. Television Advertising , Radio Advertising, Print Advertising, Outdoor Advertising etc. are some of the common means of promoting brands and businesses.  The objective of the promotion campaign also helps the advertiser on deciding the right medium of communication. If the brand or business is targeting a national audience, television advertising or radio advertising would be ideal means of communication. If it is a local audience, print advertising or outdoor advertising would be more suitable.  Cost of advertising through each medium of communication varies from one channel to another. Media mix i.e. choosing multiple channels of brand communication is however a preferred option among maximum number of brand or business owners.

An advertising  agency or company plays a major role while disseminating the brand message among target groups. An ad agency makes the most of the innovative idea or strategies that can successfully position the brand or business in the market. An advertising agency is also responsible to suggest or choose the most relevant means of conveying the brand or business message among potential customers. An advertising agency not only provides creative solutions for the brand but also suggests the best ways and measures through which the ad campaign wins maximum favour from target audiences.  As a brand owner, make sure that you are consulting the right advertising agency to handle your promotional activities. Letting your brand communication handle by a good ad agency synonymously means your brand sure to position itself in the market.
