  6. Publicity • Is any unpaid form of nonpersonal presentation of ideas, goods or services (370) • Tries to communicate without paying media costs - IT IS NOT FREE! • Can have major impact on target if favorable reviews are given. • Sometimes publicity campaigns are costly • “News” to the media vehicle in question?

  7. Publicity • Planned or Unplanned • Favorable or Unfavorable

  8. Disadvantage of Publicity vs Ads • With ads – if you buy advertising you know the ad will run • With publicity, you may spend considerable $’s in advance and gain little or no favorable exposure

  9. Cost-Effectiveness of Publicity • After the fact the cost effectiveness of publicity can be determined by: • Monitoring media coverage • Comparing publicity cost to the cost of an equivalent amount of advertising • Value of Publicity = ($ value of media coverage) – publicity cost.

  10. Publicity Value Example • Company spends $25,000 on a publicity package aimed at gaining favorable product mentions and reviews in 5 magazines

  11. Before Publicity Campaign • MagazineCost of 1 AdPublicity Ran • A $30,000 ? • B $9,000 ? • C $10,000 ? • D $12,000 ? • E $5,000 ?

  12. After Publicity Campaign • MagazineCost of 1 AdPublicity Ran • A $30,000 No • B $9,000 Yes • C $10,000 No • D $12,000 Yes • E $5,000 Yes

  13. Publicity Value • Cost of Publicity = $25,000 • Dollar value of media coverage in the 5 magazines was $9,000 + $12,000 + $5,000 = $26,000 • Value of publicity = $26,000 - $25,000 = $1,000 • Publicity value can be negative • Never know value of publicity until AFTER you have run the campaign

  19. Direct Response Promotion • Def - direct communication between a seller and an individual customer using a promotion method other than face-to-face personal selling. • Started with catalogue & direct mail • You can directly measure short run sales effects. The techniques have been around for a long time. The big difference is the lower cost to use D.R. in a widespread manner to the final consumer.

  20. Direct response marketing • It is critical to relate the effects of promotion to: • a] measure the impact of your spending • b] weed out the “information hogs” • Retailers have used variations of this: • Product “Fan Clubs” recipe groups, Harley Clubs • Paid membership groups (book clubs, heavy user groups)

  21. Direct Response in mass marketing • Use mass media ads with a direct response component to get a data base of users or interested members of the target audience. • Examples: 1-800, fax, address, phone number, email, etc… • The mass media ads are used as a screen to identify: a] heavy users b] people ready to buy. • By using the better targeting, you can use more effective (and expensive) selling tools such as: phone calls, direct mail, videotapes, catalogues or personal sales calls

  22. Direct Marketing Example • It costs a spammer $70 to send 1,200,000 emails. Spammer sends out email promoting “Spam Blocker” software. For every order placed, the spammer makes $3.50. • If a 0.1% response rate is obtained, what is the profit/loss?

  23. Direct Response Example • [((.001)(1,200,000) x $3.5)] - $70 = • = $4,130

  24. Direct Response Example 2 • You sell “The Amazing Spud Whacker” (ASW) using late night TV infomercials. The ASW sells for $19.99 +$9 shipping and handling. The unit variable cost for ASW (including shipping and handling) is $5.00. You run the infomercial on 2 TV stations • Cost to run the infomercial is $9,000 on Station 1 and $12,000 on station 2

  25. Direct Response Example • Sales from Station 1 is 400 ASWs • Sales from Station 2 is 500 ASWs • What is the profit/loss for the direct marketing run on Station 1, Station 2, and for the overall company?

  26. Station 1 • Profit Station 1 = • (price – unit costs)(units sold station 1) – direct fixed costs of station 1 • = [(19.99 + 9.00) – ($5.00)]400 - $9,000 • = ($23.99 x 400) - $12,000 • = $596

  27. Station 2 • Profit Station 2 = [$23.99]500 - $12,000 • = -$5 • Overall Company • = [$23.99 x 900] - $9,000 - $12,000 • = $591

  28. Heavy User Club • Suppose a bookstore normally has a 20% gross margin on books. They start a “Romance Book Club” that costs a member $20 to join but provides: • A quarterly mailing • 10% discount on romance books • Cost to the firm is: • Cost of the data base (fixed cost with a small upkeep cost • Cost of the quarterly mailing (say $5 a year) • Cost of the discount

  29. Heavy User Club - 2 • For customer’s who buy very little, the firm profits! • $20 fee - $5 mailing = $15 gross margin • Customers who buy a lot, you may “lose” money • Say a customer buys $50 a month ($600 a year) • This is a gross margin with no club of • $600 x .20 = $120 • With club: • $600 x .1 = $60 + $15 (fee - mailing cost) = $75 • This is 62.5% of $120

  30. Direct Marketing Advantages • Heavy Users May Be Attracted & Retained • Promotion Efforts Can Be Better Targeted • Heavy Users Are Often Opinion Leaders • Profit of Direct Marketing Efforts Can Be Calculated: • Overall • By Individual Customer • Hard To Calculate Profitability of Mass Advertising Campaigns

  31. Percentage of Sales ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? Match Competitors Per Unit Uncommitted Resources Task Method Setting the Promotion Budget 14-15

  32. Ad Budgeting by % of Sales • Commonly Used Method • Ex: Your firm had $15 million in sales last year. You use 6% of sales as your budget. What is your ad budget next year?

  33. % of Sales Example • $15 million x 6% = $900,000. • Problems with % of Sales • a] Does not relate to actual budget needs • b] Tend to overspend in good times and underspend in bad economic times • Note, method gives total budget, not an allocation to specific media.
