How Advertisers Convey the Product Gyan to Customers?

The main purpose of an advertising campaign is to convey or deliver the product gyan to those customers who have spending ability to purchase the advertised product or brand (if at all they are convinced or persuaded by the ad message). To existing customers, the product gyan will be delivered as additional information to what they already know or understand about the brand. However, for new customers the product gyan is the first source to extract an idea about the brand, its usages, features or benefits. An advertising activity educates the customers to a great extent about the product and its plus points.

Advertisers use various tools and techniques to convey the product gyan to customers. Some advertisers adopt home based tools of advertising such as television, radio, print media, internet etc, some use out of home tools of brand advertising such as billboards, posters, electronic kiosks, transit displays etc. There are again some sections of advertisers who advertise their brands through customized modes of promotion such as mobile phone devices, internet media etc. A plethora of choice in terms of media vehicle is not a big concern. As long as the brand message is delivered to customers, any means of advertising can be adopted for the promotion purpose of the brand.

In terms of techniques, advertisers are not limited to use a single technique of brand advertising. It is authentic to use any technique of Advertising if the very technique gels with the features or benefits of the brand. The only concern which advertisers should keep in mind is to launch the promotion campaign with an innovative approach. Yes, the brand communication should be themed upon an innovation so that customers find something new or different in the advertised brand. Presenting the same brand advertising idea or concept over and again to customers may probably result to boredom for the customers. A different idea of brand promotion framed as a sparkling brand communication and launched through an interactive media vehicle, that’s how a real ad campaign is launched.
