change and simply translation

be changed to avoid language and cultural problems; the ad
may be re-shot with local spokespeople but using the same
visualization

concepts supporting the positioning are spelled out but the
actual execution of the ads differs between markets

Global Ad Content: The Extension
versus Adaptation Debate
The message may not get through to the intended
recipient
The message may reach the target audience but maynot be understood or may even be misunderstood
The message may reach the target audience and may be
understood but still may not induce the recipient to
take the action desired by the sender
The effectiveness of the message can be impaired by
noise

Cultural Considerations K nowledge of cultural diversity, especially the symbolism
associated with cultural traits, is essential for creating advertising
Use of colors and man-woman relationships can often be
stumbling blocks ± Men kissing (married or unmarried) women¶s hands?
± The ring on the left or right hand?
± The woman preceding the man?
Emphasis on the subjective or functional product attributes
The use of sexually explicit or provocative imagery
Food is the product category most likely to exhibit culturalsensitivity
Cultural differences hardly have any effect on the attitudes,motivators, and needs involved in purchasing technology

Japanese Creative Strategy
Indirect rather than direct forms of expression are preferred in
the messages
There is often little relationship between ad content and the
advertised product
Only brief dialogue or narration is used in television commercials,
with minimum explanatory content
Humor is used to create a bond of mutual feelings
Famous celebrities appear as close acquaintances or everyday
people
Priority is placed on company trust rather than product quality
The product name is impressed on the viewer with short, 15-
second commercials

Promotion: A Local Activity
Economic DevelopmentLow levels of economic developmentp free samples and demonstration > coupons
or on-pack premiums
Market MaturityGrowing marketp consumer sampling and coupons; Mature marketsptrade
allowances or loyalty programs
PerceptionsConsumer and trade perceptions of promotional incentives are culturally inspired
and can vary from market to market
± Lego¶s ³Bunny Set´ promotion succeeded in U.S. but failed inJapan
The United States is by far the world leader in terms of the number of coupons issues. In 1997, 276 billion coupons were distributed andconsumer redeemed about 1.7 percent with an average value of 64 cents.Couponing accounts for 70 percent of consumer promotion spending.Elsewhere, the percentage is much lower
In Europe, couponing is widely used in the UK and Belgium; Couponingis not as widely used in Asia where saving face is important
Japanese consumers are reluctant to use coupons at the checkout counter;a particular premium can be seen as a waste of money
