    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Most missed: The major reason retailers tend to use newspapers for advertising is that they:

    • A.

      Are lower cost compared to the other media

    • B.

      Offer geographic selectivity

    • C.

      Have a longer life than radio or television

    • D.

      Show a preference for local retailers

    Correct Answer
    B. Offer geographic selectivity
    Explanation
    Newspapers offer geographic selectivity, meaning that retailers can choose to advertise in specific regions or areas where their target audience is located. This allows them to reach a more targeted market and maximize the effectiveness of their advertising efforts. Additionally, newspapers are often lower in cost compared to other media options such as radio or television, making them a more affordable choice for retailers. While newspapers may not have as long of a life span as radio or television, they still offer a longer life compared to other forms of media, allowing for a longer exposure of the advertisement. Lastly, newspapers show a preference for local retailers, further catering to the specific needs and interests of the target audience.

    Most missed: If the objective of an advertising campaign is to increase brand recall, then the emphasis should be on:

    • A.

      The characteristics of the target market

    • B.

      A high level of frequency

    • C.

    • D.

      Both a high level of frequency and high level of reach

    Correct Answer
    B. A high level of frequency
    Explanation
    A high level of frequency is the correct answer because increasing brand recall requires repeated exposure to the advertisement. By showing the advertisement frequently, the target audience is more likely to remember the brand and its message. This repetition helps to reinforce the brand in the minds of consumers and increases the chances of them recalling it when making purchasing decisions. Therefore, a high level of frequency is crucial in achieving the objective of increasing brand recall.
