    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    Advertising or advertizing is a form of communication for marketing and used to

    encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience (viewers, readers or listeners;

    sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action. Most commonly,

    the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering,

    although political and ideological advertising is also common. In Latin, advert means

    "to turn the mind toward." The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure

    employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising

    messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various traditional media;

    including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television commercial, radio

    advertisement, outdoor advertising or direct mail, or new media such as blogs,

    websites or text messages .

    Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of

    their products or services through "branding," which involves associating a product

    name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers. Non-

    commercial advertisers who spend money to advertise items other than a consumer

    product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations and

    governmental agencies. Nonprofit organizations may rely on free modes

    of persuasion, such as a Public Service Announcement (PSA).

    In simple terms, advertising is a way of promoting a product or a brand through

    different mediums. In broader terms, we can say that advertising is an act of getting

    people attention towards a brand, a product or even an event to promote it and to

    increase the chances of its sale. If a product is advertised well and its information

    reaches to the masses, the chance of it being sold too increases. Therefore, advertising

    is very essential for the sale of a product.

    The medium through which advertising takes place is a very important factor for

    advertising. While choosing a media for advertising few things must be kept in mind,

    out of which the most important factors are:

    The media should be easily accessible to the public.

    It should be made sure that medium chosen is popular among the masses.

    The theme chosen for advertising must be attractive and attention diverting

    Effective advertising

    Advertising is a favorable representation of products to make consumers, customers

    and general public aware of products. It let the potential buyers, general public and

    end users to be aware and familiar with the products.

    Effective communication Skills

    Excellent communication skills are a requirement in your private and business days.

    A number of people are unsurprisingly fine communicators.

    If the media chosen for advertising something is popular amongst the masses then the

    chances of more people getting to know about it increases. Hence, popularity of the

    medium is very important, perhaps the most important factor for an advertising media.

    The ads made for advertisement play a very important role. People only pay attention

    to those ads that are compelling and draw their attention towards them.

    A significant event in the development of advertising was the invention of a system of

    casting moveable type by the German, Johannes Guterberg in 1938. The event

    revolutionized communication methods for the whole world. (Keller 2005)

    William Catton, an early printer made advertising history in 1478 when he printed a

    handbill, regarded as the first printed English advert. In the handbill there was the

    advertisement of his book called SALISBURY PYE, handbook of ruler for the

    guideline of the clergy at Easter. (McHugh, 2000, 451)

    Nigerias first newspaper, called IWE IROYIN was first published in 1859. The

    paper set the landmark for the development of modern advertising in Nigeria.

    In a sense, one can say that advertising just like other disciplines came via our

    colonial master. However, this is not to conclude that we did not have some form of

    traditional advertisements before the arrival of the colonialist, there were e.g. town

    criers used by the king in the delivery messages, in the past. For a message to go

    across to the members of the public a town crier was sent out to do so. (Arowomole

    2002)

    As is generally known that the role played by advertising is increasing the sales

    volume of any companys product at any point in time cannot be overemphasized. As

    a matter of reality, it has contributed immensely to increasing growth of many

    companies in various industries. This is because it goes a long way in placing positive

    image about the companies products in the mind of potential consumers; this can also

    influence their buying behavior.

    However, the formal study of this write-up requires an understanding of its definitions

    because advertising itself means different things to different people, i.e. there are

    many definitions to it as there are many authors.

    In a study of the consumer view of advertising carried out in 1974 by the American

    Association of Advertising Agencies, more than half of the respondent described

    advertising as a channel of information from the manufacturer to consumer, some said

    it is manipulated, propaganda, and misleading.

    Many scholars, professional bodies and associations and various authors have given

    diverse definitions of advertising. However, it is noteworthy that each definition is

    unique on its own, thus, we can say advertising is a complex field.

    Longman (2000) says advertising is an act of telling people publicly about a product

    or service in order to persuade them to buy it.

    Alonge (2001) feels that advertising can be defined as any paid form of non-personal

    communication which is directed to the consumers or target audiences through

    various media in order to prevent and promote product, services and idea.

    This means that advertising is branch of commerce which used to create awareness

    for particular product and it must be paid for. Advertising informs, educates and

    persuade people to buy the advertised goods or services.

    Gillian (1982) views it as means of drawing someones attention to something or

    notifying or informing somebody of something.

    Harri Tuomola says in one his class that advertising must be paid for by an identified

    sponsor and must be persuasive to influence consumers buying behaviour. (Hamk

    UAS, Finland)

    Tuflinger (1996) says advertising is the non-personal communication of information

    usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature, about product, services or ideas by

    an identified sponsor through the various media. So much for academic double talk.

    Modern advertising was created with the innovative techniques introduced

    with tobacco advertising in the 1920s, most significantly with the campaigns

    of Edward Bernays, which is often considered the founder of modern, Madison

    Avenue advertising. In 2010, spending on advertising was estimated at $142.5 billion

    in the United States and $467 billion worldwide.

    Harris and Attour (2003) state that standardization is a flexible policy that can be

    adapted to a range of circumstances and differing market conditions. Hite and Fraser

    (1988) use a very vague definition of standardization. In their comparison with

    International advertising strategy.The earlier surveys they use the terms substantially

    standardized and substantially localized without a clear definition of what

    substantially means. Kanso and Nelson (2002) define a firm that standardize less

    than 40 percent of the time as pursuing an adopted strategy. The conclusion is that

    there is no clear definition of what a standardized advertisement or standardized

    advertising strategy is. However, the visual element (picture) seems to be one of the

    most important elements from a standardization perspective and even the strictest

    definitions seem to include adaptation to local language in their definition of a

    standardized advertisement.

    2.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

    The service sector consists of the "soft" parts of the economy, i.e. activities where

    people offer their knowledge and time to improve productivity, performance,

    potential, and sustainability. The basic characteristic of this sector is the production

    of services instead of end products. Services (also known as "intangible goods")

    include attention, advice, access, experience, and discussion. The production

    of information is generally also regarded as a service, but some economists now

    attribute it to a fourth sector, the quaternary sector.

    The tertiary sector of the economy (also known as the service sector or the service

    industry) is one of the three economic sectors, the others being the secondary

    sector(approximately the same as manufacturing) and the primary sector (agriculture,

    fishing, and extraction such as mining).

    The tertiary sector of industry involves the provision of services to other businesses as

    well as final consumers. Services may involve the transport, distribution and sale of

    goods from producer to a consumer, as may happen in wholesaling and retailing, or

    may involve the provision of a service, such as in pest control or entertainment. The

    goods may be transformed in the process of providing the service, as happens in

    the restaurant industry. However, the focus is on people interacting with people and

    serving the customer rather than transforming physical goods.

    For the last 100 years, there has been a substantial shift from the primary and

    secondary sectors to the tertiary sector in industrialized countries. This shift is

    called tertiarisation. The tertiary sector is now the largest sector of the economy in

    the Western world, and is also the fastest-growing sector.

    In examining the growth of the service sector in the early Nineties,

    the globalist Kenichi Ohmae noted that: Industry that provides services rather than

    goods. Economists divide the products of all economic activity into two broad

    categories, goods and services. Industries that produce goods (tangible objects)

    include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction. Service industries

    include everything else: banking, communications, wholesale and retail trade, all

    professional services such as engineering and medicine, all consumer services, and all

    government services. The proportion of the world economy devoted to services rose

  • A STUDY ON IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENT IN BUSINESS

    TO CONSUMER MARKETING AT DREAM GAINS PVT. LTD

    REVA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT 6

    rapidly in the 20th century. In the U.S. alone, the service sector accounted for more

    than half the gross domestic product in 1929, two-thirds in 1978, and more than three-

    quarters in 1993. Worldwide, the service sector accounted for more than three-fifths

    of global gross domestic product by the early 21st century. As increases

    in automation facilitate productivity, a smaller workforce is able to produce more

    goods, and the service functions of distribution, management, finance, and sales

    become relatively more important.

    The sector of the national economy whose output takes the form of services.

    According to the system of industrial classification used in planning and statistics in

    the USSR, the service industry includes trade, the food service industry, and the

    branches of the nonproduction sphere, with the exception of the branches of science,

    science service, and administration. Certain services are performed in response to

    orders by individual citizens.

    In the USSR, the service industry accounts for approximately one-tenth of the total

    output of goods and services (in 1973, 89.9 billion out of 850.2 billion rubles). The

    share of services in the total consumption fund of goods and services by the

    population in the US rose from 29.6 percent in 1960 to 33.7 percent in 1974. While

    the service industry employed 17.1 percent of the work force in 1960, the figure had

    grown to 23.7 percent in 1974.

    The significant growth of the service industry can be explained by structural changes

    in societal needs. As the material and cultural level of a society rises, the need for

    services related to education, culture, and public health increases at a greater rate than

    the aggregate of other needs owing to the objective economic law of increasing

    requirements. The proportion of personal income expended on services also increases.

    As a countrys level of economic development rises, the service industry absorbs a

    growing share of societys resources, and the output of the industry plays an

    increasingly important role in personal consumption. The service industry is growing

    in all the socialist countries, and the same trend can be seen in the developed capitalist

    countries. In the United States, for example, services accounted for 30.4 percent of the

    gross national product in 1950, 37.2 percent in 1960, and 41.9 percent in 1973.

    3.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    A literature review is a text written by someone to consider the critical points of

    current knowledge including substantive findings as well as theoretical and

    methodological contributions to a particular topic. Literature reviews are secondary

    sources, and as such, do not report any new or original experimental work. Also, a

    literature review can be interpreted as a review of an abstract accomplishment.

    Most often associated with academic-oriented literature, such as a thesis, a literature

    review usually precedes a research proposal and results section. Its main goals are to

    situate the current study within the body of literature and to provide context for the

    particular reader.

    A literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited

    scholars and researchers. Occasionally you will be asked to write one as a separate

    assignment (sometimes in the form of an annotated bibliographysee the bottom of

    the next page), but more often it is part of the introduction to an essay, research

    report, or thesis. In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your

    reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their

    strengths and weaknesses are. As a piece of writing, the literature review must be

    defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you

    are discussing or your argumentative thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the

    material available, or a set of summaries.

    A literature review must do these things

    1. be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question you

    are developing

    2. synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known

    3. identify areas of controversy in the literature

    4. formulate questions that need further research

    A literature review is a critical evaluation of literature published on a particular topic.

    Literature reviews are different to other types of writing you may have done at

    University

  • A STUDY ON IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENT IN BUSINESS

    TO CONSUMER MARKETING AT DREAM GAINS PVT. LTD

    REVA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT 25

    While literature reviews and essays require many of the same skills for instance,

    critical thinking skills, academic writing skills and referencing skills they have

    different purposes. Whereas essays require you to support your own arguments,

    literature reviews require you to critique the arguments of others.

    According to Keller (2005), the urge to advertise seems to be a part of human nature

    evidenced since ancient times. One of the earliest means of advertising was the use of

    signs. Early craftsmen used signs to advertise their wares and some traders like the

    Phoenicians planted commercial messages on prominent rocks. They were among the

    forerunners of modern day advertising. A significant event in the development of

    advertising was the invention of a system of casting moveable type by the German,

    Johannes Guterberg in 1938. The event revolutionized communication methods for

    the whole world. (Keller 2005) William Catton, an early printer made advertising

    history in 1478 when he printed a handbill, regarded as the first printed English

    advert. In the handbill there was the advertisement of his book called SALISBURY

    PYE, handbook of ruler for the guideline of the clergy at Easter. (McHugh, 2000)

    According to Alonge (2001), feels that advertising can be defined as any paid form of

    non-personal communication which is directed to the consumers or target audiences

    through various media in order to prevent and promote product, services and idea.

    This means that advertising is branch of commerce which used to create awareness

    for particular product and it must be paid for. Advertising informs, educates and

    persuade people to buy the advertised goods or services.

    According to Agrawal (1995), the approaches by practitioners and academics over

    time. Academics and practitioners historically have had a different view of advertising

    strategy that is the most effective and also that this view has changed over time within

    each group. Academics tend to favour the adaptation or contingency perspective

    because cross-cultural or cross-national comparative studies have not shown

    similarities among consumers. The conclusion of the academics is that some degree of

    adaptation is necessary to succeed in foreign markets. Practitioners, in contrast, seem

    to oscillate between adaptation and standardization.Agrawal suggests that the

  • A STUDY ON IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENT IN BUSINESS

    TO CONSUMER MARKETING AT DREAM GAINS PVT. LTD

    REVA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT 26

    preference for adaptation in the 1950s is due to low-level of familiarity with

    international consumers. As the knowledge of international markets increased,

    practitioners shifted towards standardization in the 1960s. In the1970s, the

    practitioners again shifted towards adaptation. Agrawal (1995) suggests two reasons

    for this increased nationalistic forces and a number of advertising blunders.

    According to Tuflinger (1996) says advertising is the non-personal communication

    of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature, about product,

    services or ideas by an identified sponsor through the various media.

    According to Gillian (1982) views it as means of drawing someones attention to

    something or notifying or informing somebody of something.

    3.2 Statement of the Problem.

    Service providers face obstacles selling services that goods-sellers rarely face.

    Services are not tangible, making it difficult for potential customers to understand

    what they will receive and what value it will hold for them. Indeed some, such

    as consultants and providers of investment services, offer no guarantees of the value

    for price paid.

    Since the quality of most services depends largely on the quality of the individuals

    providing the services, it is true that "people costs" are a high component of service

    costs. Whereas a manufacturer may use technology, simplification, and other

    techniques to lower the cost of goods sold, the service provider often faces an

    unrelenting pattern of increasing costs.

    Differentiation is often difficult. For example, how does one choose one investment

    adviser over another, since they often seem to provide identical services? Charging a

    premium for services is usually an option only for the most established firms, who

    charge extra based upon brand recognition.

    3.5 Hypothesis.

    Hypothesis: Hypothesis is a tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon or

    scientific problem that can be tested (i.e. proved or disproved) by further

    investigation.

    Null Hypothesis (Ho): A proposition that undergoes verification to determine if it

    should be accepted or rejected in favor of an alternative proposition. Often the

    null hypothesis is expressed as "There is no relationship between two quantities."

    Alternative hypothesis (HA): An alternative hypothesis (H1 or Ha) is one in which

    some difference or effect is expected. Accepting the alternative hypothesis will lead

    to changes in opinions or actions.

    Ho: There is no significant relationship between consumer buying attitude and

    consistent advertisement.

    HA: There is significant relationship between consumer buying attitude and consistent

    advertisement.

    more specialized needs reflective of a specific industry or niche. Regardless of the

    size of the target market, the business customer is making an organizational purchase

    decision and the dynamics of this, both procedurally and in terms of how they value

    may be multiple influencers on the purchase decision, which may also have to be

    marketed to, though they may not be members of the decision making unit.

    Pricing

    The business market can be convinced to pay premium prices more often than the

    consumer market if you know how to structure your pricing and payment terms well.

    This price premium is particularly achievable if you support it with a strong brand.

    Promotion

    Promotion planning is relatively easy when you know the media, information seeking

    and decision making habits of your customer base, not to mention the vocabulary

    unique to their segment. Specific trade shows, analysts, publications, blogs and

    retail/wholesale outlets tend to be fairly common to each industry/product area. What

    this means is that once you figure it out for your industry/product, the promotion plan

    almost writes itself (depending on your budget) but figuring it out can be a special

    skill and it takes time to build up experience in your specific field. Promotion

    techniques rely heavily on marketing communications strategies.

    Place (Sales and Distribution)

    The importance of a knowledgeable, experienced and effective direct (inside or

    outside) sales force is often critical in the business market. If you sell

    through distribution channels also, the number and type of sales forces can vary

    tremendously and your success as a marketer is highly dependent on their success.

    Positioning Statement

    An important first step in business to business marketing is the development of your

    positioning statement. This is a statement of what you do and how you do it

    differently and better and more efficiently than your competitors.

    Marketing efforts directed toward other businesses rather to individual consumers.

    Business-to-consumer advertising may involve the promotion of products such as

    copier machines, or services such as human resources consulting or logistics, that are

    primarily designed for businesses. While business-to-consumer advertising focuses on

    reaching a household's decision-maker, business-to-business advertising focuses on

    reaching the employees of a business responsible for making capital decisions or who

  • A STUDY ON IMPACT OF ADVERTISEMENT IN BUSINESS

    TO CONSUMER MARKETING AT DREAM GAINS PVT. LTD

    REVA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT 32

    are in charge of purchasing. While consumers may be able to make rapid decisions on

    whether a product is of interest, businesses are often slower and have to go through a

    more complex process because the cost of products for a business can be high and

    may require approval from several levels of management
