CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Advertisement, as part of communication strategies for marketing, is used to draw consumer’s attention and influence their decision to purchase the advertised products and services.
Advertisement is a mediating tool for marketing and the most vital component of promotional activity; it is used by the marketers to publicise the happenings of the company and their offerings to the consumers. (Krishnakumar & Radha, 2014).
Advertising is the non-personal communication of the information usually paid for and persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media (Datta, 2008).
Television advertising is the best selling and economical media ever invented. It has a potential advertising impact unmatched by any other media (Saxena, 2005). The advantages of television over the other mediums is that it is perceived as a combination of audio and video features; it provides products with instant validity and prominence and offer the greatest possibility for creative advertising (Kavitha, 2006).
Television Advertising do not only change emotion but gives substantial message exerting a far reaching influence on daily lives of people (Kotwal et al, 2008). Of all marketing weapons, advertising is renowned for its long lasting impact on viewer’s mind, as its exposure is much broader (Kalke, 2007).
Advertising is a subset of promotion mix which is one of the 4p’s in the marketing mix i.e. products, price, place and promotion.
As a promotional mix strategy, advertising serve as a major tool in creating product awareness in the mind of a potential consumer to take eventual purchase decision. Advertising, sales promotions and public relations are mass communication tools available to marketers. Advertising through all mediums influence audiences, but television is one of the strongest medium of advertising and due to its mass reach, it can influence not only the individuals attitude, behaviour, life style, exposure and in the long run, even the culture of the country (Latif and Abideen, 2011).
For decades, one of the essential problems of manufacturing companies is the knowledge of how the consumer will respond to various things that will be used for achieving their ultimate goals.
Consumer behaviour as involves the psychological processes that the consumers go through in recognizing needs, finding ways to solve these needs, making purchase decisions (e.g whether or not to purchase a product and if, which brand and where, interpret information make plans and implement the plans) (perner, 2010 as ated in Akekue and igive, 2012).
As the primary mission of advertiser is to reach prospective customer customers and influence their awareness, attitude and buying behaviour. They spend a lot of money to keep individuals interest in their product. They need to understand what makes potential customers behave the way they would like. It also appears that advertising may have the potentials to contribute to brand choice among consumers (Latif et al, 2011). The major aim of advertising is to impact on buying behaviour; however, this impact about brand is changed or strengthened frequently in people memories. Consumer behaviour analysis is to explain why consumer acts in particular ways under certain circumstance. It tries to determine the factor that influence consumer behaviour especially the economic, social and psychological aspects (Ayanwale et al, 2005). When young people choose advertising information and characters as their role models, they may not only identify with them but also intend to copy them in terms of how they dress and what they are going to buy (Latif et al, 2011).
