Advertising Theory

Advertising Theory

Advertising has numerous objectives which includes communicating with potential customers as well as pursuading them to adopt a particular product or develop a preference towards the product for repeat purchase which ultimately results in brand loyalty. Advertising Theory therefore tries to explain how and why advertising is effective in influencing behaviors and accomplishing its objectives.

There are numerous theorys within advertising. Most theories suggest that if you want a consumer to like a product or a brand continously then simply expost the consumer to a product or brands advertising such that there are certain feelings and expectations attached towards the rand itself. Advertising theories also make use of content specification, Specific message and media characteristics, consumer characteristics, product/service characteristics, and competitive actions.

Adoption Theory
Adoption theories are aimed at understanding, explaining, or predicting how, why, and to what extent individuals or organizations will adopt or purchase new offerings. According to the adoption theory, there are multiple factors involved in influencing product or service adoption by an individual or organization and theories of adoption recognize all these factors.

Adaption Level Theory

The Arousal Theory

The Arousal Theory
A theory put forth by researcher Donald Lindsley in the 1951, and expanded upon by researcher Ellis Lee in 1996.

It states that every person has an an “optimal level” of arousal from his or her environment, with too little stimulation causing boredom and too much stimulation causing anxiety. The threshold for arousal increases with experience, so more exciting experiences are needed to stay at the optimal level. Advertisers must continually push the envelope to hold our attention through marketing campaigns.

Theory of Selective Perception

Selective Perception
Selective perception is the process by which individual selects, organizes and evaluates stimuli from the environment to provide meaningful experiences for him- or herself. This means that people focus in certain features of their environment to the exclusion of others. The consumer automatically chooses which information to notice and this kind of selection is dependent of different perceptual filters which are based on the consumer's earlier experiences.

Long term branding issues should also be considered if using shock advertising as a communication method. Using shocking pictures could affect the way consumers perceive your brand and quality of your product. The ethics is always important to have in mind, and using fear or other strong messages might not always be the best and most effective method to use.
