• Source of mistakes:Information source (marketer)
• If not properly considered, different cultural contexts can increase the probability of misunderstandings
• Effective communication demands the existence of a “psychological overlap” between the sender and the receiver
• Self-reference criterion; often the actual market needs and the marketer’s perception of them do not coincide.
• It can never be assumed that “if it sells well in one country, it will sell in another”
Encoding process: color, timing, values, beliefs, humor, tastes, and appropriateness of spokes- persons can cause the international marketer to

– an improper message resulting from incorrect knowledge of use patterns,
– poor encoding producing a meaningless message,
– poor media selection that does not get the message to the receiver, or
– inaccurate decoding by the receiver so that the message is garbled or incorrect.
Therefore, errors at the receiver end result from a combination of factors:
Legal Constraints
• Comparative advertising• Advertising of specific products• Control of advertising on television• Accessibility to broadcast media• Limitations on length and number of commercials• Internet services• Special taxes that apply to advertising
Linguistic Limitations
• Language is one of the major barriers to effective communication through advertising
• Translation challenges• Low literacy in many countries• Multiple languages within a
country• In-country testing with the target
consumer group avoids problems caused by linguistic differences
Media Planning and Analysis – Tactical Considerations
• Not for every company or product
• Take into account different levels of technological development
• Literacy varies among countries.
