techniques to measure both advertising and sponsorship

numbers of potential customers scattered over sizable geographic areas

PricePriceAdvertising dominates the promotional mix for low-
unit-value products due to the high personal contact costs of personal selling
Consumers a high-priced items like luxury cars expect lots of well-presented information via videocassettes, CDs, fancy brochures, and personal selling
Funds available for promotionFunds available for promotionA critical element in the promotional strategy is the
size of the promotional budgetWhile the cost-per-contact of a $2 million, 30-second
TV commercial during the Super Bowl is relatively low, such an expenditure exceeds the entire promotional budgets of many, if not most firms

Budgeting for Promotional StrategyBudgeting for Promotional Strategy
Percentage-of-sales method
Fixed-sum-per-unit method
Meeting competition method
Task-objective method
15-44
Method Description Example
Percentage-of-sales method
Promotional budget is set as a specified percentage of either past or forecasted sales.
“Last year we spent $10,500 on promotion and had sales of $420,000. Next year we expect sales to grow to $480,000, and we are allocating $12,000 for promotion.”
Fixed-sum-per-unit method
Promotional budget is set as a predetermined dollar amount for each unit sold or produced.
“Our forecast calls for sales of 14,000 units, and we allocate promotion at the rate of $65 per unit.”
Meeting competition method
Promotional budget is set to match competitor’s promotional outlays on either an absolute or relative basis.
“Promotional outlays average 4 percent of sales in our industry.”
Task-objective method
Once marketers determine their specific, promotional objectives, the amount (and type) of promotional spending needed to achieve them is determined.
“By the end of next year, we want 75 percent of the area high-school students to be aware of our new, highly automated fast-food prototype outlet. How many promotional dollars will it take, and how should they be spent?”

Measuring the Effectiveness of PromotionMeasuring the Effectiveness of Promotion
Two basic measurement tools:Direct sales results measures the
effectiveness of promotion by revealing the specific impact on sales revenues for each dollar of promotional spending
Indirect evaluation concentrates on quantifiable indicators of effectiveness like:Recall - how much members of the target
market remember about specific products or advertisements
Readership – size and composition of a message’s audience

Measuring Online PromotionsMeasuring Online PromotionsEarly attempts at measuring online promotional
efforts involved counting hits and visitsIncorporating direct response and comparing
different promotions for effectivenessTwo major techniques for setting online
advertising rates:Cost per impression (CPM), technique that
related the cost of an ad to every thousand people who read it
Cost per response (click-throughs), which assumes that those who actually click on an ad want more information
