Social Media and Modern AdvertisingQ1. Limited BudgetI think so-called good old-fashioned advertising is indeed a thing of the past. First, the online marketplace is far more crowded than it was previously, not only with offered goods and services but also with messages about various products. To get seen and heard requires more than a catchy jingle or slogan. It requires building a relationship with consumers. A good example of this are companies which have engaged consumers over Twitter, creating edgy and snarky voices for respected brands like Wendys and MoonPie.But even a marketer with a limited budget can thrive in the online marketplace of ideas by forging a respected brand image and cultivating influencers on Instagram and TikTok to create buzz about the product. In fact, many of these seemingly more organic forms of marketing generate greater trust in the much-coveted younger consumer demographic, because they do not seem like….

Impulse buying on the web for services as well as products should also not be discounted! The web will allow customers to reach the salon 24/7 and to see what products we offer, and what must-have colors, styles, and treatments will be offered in the future.
At present, the salon already advertises on other websites and emails coupons and special offers to customers. An effective website will enable the salon to reach out to new consumers if it has a striking virtual design, and makes use of critical search terms to generate new 'hits.' While generating the initial plan for the site, I intend to conduct practical market research by talking to current salon customers to see what they would like on such a site and how it could enhance their salon experience. Then, after establishing our current market segment demographic, and perhaps finding a new market segment 'target,' the….

They worked with the FTC to define the following four Fair Information Practices, rules designed to prevent companies from abusing the information they receive through online profiling (Computer law tip of the week, 2000):
Rule 1 (Notice): A company must notify customers that it uses online profiling to track their online habits. If it collects personally identifiable information about customers, such as their names, addresses or telephone numbers, the company's website must clearly and unambiguously notify them of this fact before the company collects this information.

Rule 2 (Choice): Depending on the type of information a company collects, there must be opt-in and opt-out options. Opt-in, or obtaining the customer's permission, is required to link personally identifiable information that a company has about a customer such as name, address or telephone number with data acquired about Web surfing habits. Opt-out means that the customers have to be given the chance to….

Many people who choose to eat at upscale restaurants consider themselves gourmets who enjoy showing off their knowledge of fine food by ordering dishes using correct French pronunciation or by knowing the difference between flambe and flame-broiled. To have the meal pre-ordered takes away the excitement of interacting with fellow foodies or people who enjoy such dining experiences. In addition, no online reservation service can routinely offer diners with table selection or other fastidious details that a live hostess or waiter can.
However, this service could appeal to event planners and people who are responsible for organizing and arranging meals for large amounts of people. By allowing people to order online, conference and other large event planners may be able to provide more flexibility in the menu offerings and hasten the ordering process by having drink, appetizer, entree and dessert choices in hand instead of having to collect even pre-ordered….

(Snyder & Deono quoted in Kjeldal 2003, Introduction section, ¶ 6).
The results from the study Kjeldal (2003) conducted with 70 participants in two stages suggest that the word association responses high self-monitors (HSMs) produce reflect selective activation of a personally meaningful, experiential, system. The responses low self-monitors (LSMs) produce, on the other hand, indicate an intellective factual system.

2. Decision Making Process Theories

Dr. onnie Halpern-Felsher (2009), an Associate Professor at theUniversity of California, San Francisco, identifies a number decision-making criteria in her report, "Adolescent decision making: an overview." According to Halpern-Felsher, determinations of definitions for a competent decision, the process of how the decision was made, differ dramatically. The actual behavior or outcome, albeit, does not determine competent decision making, however, during the normative model of decision-making process, one does consider the consequences to not choosing a particular behavior or a specific event.

Normative models of decision making, commonly utilized in….

Advertising has a significant role in this age of consumerism. Effective advertisement is crucial for the success of the business in this increasingly competitive world. We are witnessing a new genre in advertising and advertisements have evolved from being simple explanation of products to detailed graphical representations that depict all the fine and varied features of the products in a visually appealing manner. Today we are looking at advertisement as an art in itself, which reveals the hidden details of the products in an attractive manner that catches the attention of the consumer. Advancements in Computer graphics technology has taken advertising to a new heights with three-dimensional projection of products. Let us analyze how companies use graphics in advertisement as an important marketing strategy.

As we know the purpose of advertising is to increase the awareness of the products among the consumers and to achieve a….

Another advantage of online marketing is that smaller merchants have a platform from which to sell their goods via online affiliate relationships. In terms of human contact, the only missing element is physically seeing and shaking hands with merchants and customers. This element however does not necessarily constitute a better or even more personal relationship.
The reason for this is that the online environment often inspires a more open relationships in terms of mutual appreciation between customer and merchant. The physical barrier that might intimidate a customer to not express his or appreciation for good service is removed by the online paradigm. Indeed, e-mail is often quicker, simpler, and often cheaper than a physical trip or phone call to a shop. In many cases, therefore, I would say that personal relationships flourish to an even greater extent when cultivated online than in reality..

Theatrical claims and manifestations do well when selling a manufactured good or service, as long as they continue to credible (Lights, Camera, Action: Creating Effective TV Commercials, n.d.).
The main idea of both of these advertising mediums is to grab the attention of prospective consumers and create a connection between the customer and the product that is being sold. Radio spots are generally short and do not allow for a lot of time to get the message across. TV spots on the other hand are usually a little longer in nature. TV has one advantage over Radio in that it can use images to try and help make the connection and help consumers to remember the product. Radio on the other hand has to rely solely on words and thus must make them very memorable.

Both of these are a bit different from internet advertising in the fact that there is….

The new campaign for Old Spice Swagger portrays rich, successful, attractive males vis-a-vis an old, uglier, less confident version of themselves. The message is simple: without the product, you are that weak, less confident man. The website for Men's Health magazine is less subtle - all the ads feature well-muscled men. Even in products unrelated to physical appearance we see the same paradigm. Budweiser's ad "Lager Lessons" plays exploits a number of male insecurities, from the perceived fear of commitment to the fact that all of the men are attractive. The message that the advertising industry sends men is clear - you are not good enough and our product will fix that. There is no discernible difference between these messages and the ones that are sent to women by the advertising industry.

The advertising is a major contributor and visual segment of the complete marketing strategy of a business. It is also noted as one of the image carrier for an organization. The businesses seek support of advertising agenciesdealing in print and electronic media to establish an advertising campaign along with the design of such activities to further their marketing objectives (Shimp, 2013).
