Elements of a good Ad Objective
Ad is a powerful tool. It's an indispensable and crucial form of
communication seen as an influencing factor on consumers. It
attempts to control human and purchasing behavior by appealing
to human conscience and emotions. Ad is the soul of any
surviving business, an activity engaged
intentionally/unintentionally by us all.
1.Measurability: It is only a fool (am not trying to be
arrogant, neither am I one), that will embark on a project
without first measuring the cost. Before placing an Ad, what you
want to achieve must be specified in quantifiable terms as it
serves as a benchmark to its attainments.
2.Realistic: Who is the person that talked about building castle
in the air? What good is it going to pay an Advertiser for
embarking on a WHITE ELEPHANT ad? Setting unattainable Ad
objective is like an individual without a plan and also planning
to fail. Yours' might be to sustain your goodwill. Or increase
sales or may be adding to the numbers of your customers like the
Telecomm/ Financial institutions.
3.Time: Among many of the problems face by Advertisers and Ad
agencies is wrong timing. Remember that Time is the only thing
that takes no holiday. It is wise and advisable to be time
cautions on your next advert placement for an hour lost can't be
regained. Timing should be strictly adhere to by both the
Advertisers and Ad agencies because time is too slow for those
who wait; too swift for those who fear; too long for those who
grieve and too short for those who rejoice.
