Pull Strategy
Aimed at FINAL CONSUMERS to get consumers to pull the product into the marketing channel
(ex. you see an ad about a new dress at a boutique and go seek it out in the store)
Push Strategy
Aimed at CHANNEL MEMBERS - increase demand by focusing on wholesalers/retailers/etc.
Primarily personal selling/sales promotions
(ex. you see a set-up in Target promoting a product you didn’t initially go to buy)
Informative Advertising
Create and build brand awareness
Usually in introductory stage of product life cycle
Should focus on education/creating buzz
Persuasive Advertising
Growth/early maturity stages of PLC when competition is intense
May be used to reposition an established brand in later stages of PLC
Focuses on features, advantages; compares your brand to other brands
Reminder Advertising
Occurs after product has gained market acceptance in mature stage of PLC
Used to remind or prompt repurchases
Usually does not include a lot of information (think simple Coke ads)
3 Advertising Goals
Inform, persuade, remind
Product-focused vs Institutional Advertisements
Institutional advertisements are focused around corporate image, advocacy advertisements, and/or public service announcements
(ex. Dawn Dish Soap)
Public Service Advertising
Focus on public welfare and are generally sponsored by non-profit or civic groups
(ex. Stop smoking, fight hunger, cancer research)

Things to Consider:
- Role that advertising plays in firm’s attempt to meet overall performance objectives
- Expenditures vary over the course of the PLC
- Nature of the market and the product influence over the size of the budget
