What did the respondents say about the ad? Attention grabbimg Aussie made is good Good to show pricing Similarly cluttered like other supermarket adverts The ad is really great, especially with the picture really clear and appealing, eye catching really caught my attention I liked that the prices are on the ad so you don't have to go in to the store to find out the price. Like that the Australian made logo/stamp is clearly visible I believe the Made in Australia angle is very important to any company. Well the ad is very well done as it grabs your attention and is very appetising. In other words I'd buy the product. It appears like a page out of a catalogue
The word cloud leaves no doubt what people perceive as the main message of the ad.
Retail Averages Significantly different to Retail Average at 90% c.l. Respondents agree this ad makes them think of the TV advertising, with this ad achieving significantly high scores for Extension. This ad also helps drive brand Affinity at significantly high levels.
Retail Averages Significantly different to Retail Average at 90% c.l. % scores The ad achieves significantly high scores at generating product purchase and store visitation intentions, which is obviously the key objective of any supermarket advertising. It is highly effective at achieving these objectives.
Comparing Some of Coles’ Action Map Results % The ‘1/2Price’ DPS from Feb ‘11 has achieved the highest scores for both ‘Try/buy’ and ‘Visit Store/Look out for’. Worth noting that statistically, the difference between a 35% score and a 31% score is not meaningful.

Newspapers are a powerful medium to utilise across a broad range of strategic roles. Six strategic advertising roles have been validated both qualitatively and quantitatively, resulting in the creation of Role Map, one of two proprietary newspaper metrics. Role Map demonstrates how consumers connect with newspaper advertising across the six roles, comparing the performance of creative against a footprint of all ads tested. Retail average Statements are tailored to be appropriate to the advertising category.
Newspapers are recognised as an effective medium for delivering a Call to Action. Action Map, the third proprietary newspaper metric, expands on this strategic role to provide an understanding of the types of action a newspaper ad inspires. Measured via forced exposure, people are asked about the actions they would consider taking (or have taken) as a result of seeing the ad. New measure introduced in March 2010, norm not yet available.
Another proprietary newspaper metric provides a set of creative diagnostics unique to the attributes of newspaper advertising. They’ve been developed to help identify areas for improvement where results across other brand and advertising measures may require further analysis and interrogation. Statements are tailored to be appropriate to the advertising category. Retail average
