4.5. Discuss the following questions in groups

1. What advertising and promotion campaigns are famous in your country?

2. What advertisements and promotional activities does your educational institution use?

5

3. Do you agree with the statement: ‘One of the reasons ad-vertising is successful is because it can target a particular audience to build awareness of what the advertiser has to offer’?

4. Do you agree that advertising is a way to get people to do what they don't want to do?

5. Which recent advertisements can you remember? Why do you think you remember them?

6. What do you think of advertising in general? Choose from the suggestions below or give your own ideas: entertaining? dishonest? a type of art? a waste of money? a useful way of finding out about products?

7. In what situation may advertising be used as a weapon? 8. Cat advertising also serve to reduce competition?

4.6. In small groups, write a script for a 20-second com-mercial to be played on a popular English-language radio station, advertising either a well-known product exported by your country, or some form of travel to your country. Remember that you have to persuade and inform, and are not supposed to say anything misleading or untruthful — although of course in this case you are free to invent the name of the company, the details of its ser-vice, and so on. You may use music and sound effects if you have access to them. If not, merely indicate what you would use in ad-dition to a voice.

5. PROMOTION

Text 5

Read the text and remember the words and word combina-tions in bold:

Promotion involves disseminating information about a product, product line, brand or company. It is one of the four key aspects of the marketing mix (the other three elements are product management, pricing, and distribution).

Promotion is generally subdivided into two parts in the text-books:

Above the line promotion: Promotion in the media (e. g. TV, radio, newspapers, the Internet) in which the advertiser pays an advertising agency to place the ad.

6

Below the line promotion: all other promotion. Much of this is intended to be subtle enough that the consumer is unaware that promotion is taking place. E. g. sponsorship, product place-ment, endorsements, sales promotion, merchandising, direct mail, personal selling, public relations, trade shows.

The specification of these four variables creates a promotion-al mix or promotional plan. A promotional mix specifies how much attention to pay to each of the four subcategories, and how much money to budget for each. A promotional plan can have a wide range of objectives, including: sales increases, new product ac-ceptance, creation of brand equity, positioning, competitive retal-iations or creation of a corporate image.

Examples of a fully integrated, long-term, large-scale promo-tion are My Coke Rewards and Pepsi Stuff.
