  18. Section Summary • An advertiser might use two or more styles simultaneously. • Some experts believe that advertising is most effective when it addresses both functional product and symbolic benefits. • Effective advertising must establish a clear meaning of what the brand is and how it compares to competitive offerings. © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning.

  19. Means-End Chaining and the Method of Laddering as Guides to Creative Advertising Formulation • Means-End Chain • Represents the linkages among brand attributes, the consequences obtained from using the brand and “consuming” the attributes, and the personal values that the consequences reinforce © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

  20. Means-End Chain • Attributes • Features or aspects of advertised brands • Consequences • What consumers hope to receive (benefits) or avoid (detriments) when consuming brands • Values • Enduring beliefs people hold regarding what is important in life Brand attributes and the consequences of consuming these attributes are the means whereby people achieve valued ends © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning.

  27. Identifying Means-End Chains: The Method of Laddering • Laddering Research Technique • Is used to identify linkages between attributes (A), consequences (C), and values (V) • Constructs a hierarchy, or ladder, of relations between a brand’s attributes and consequences (the means) and consumer values (the end). • Attempts to get at the root or deep reasons why individual consumers buy certain products and brands © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.

  28. Practical Issues in Identifying Means-End Chains • The laddering method “forces” interviewees to identify hierarchies among attributes, consequences, and values that may actually not exist for them • Consumers may perceive clear-cut linkages between attributes and consequences but not necessarily between consequences and values • The resulting aggregations of A  C  V chains are assumed to represent all consumers in the target audience © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning.

  29. Corporate Image and Issue Advertising • Corporate Image Advertising • Attempting to increase a firm’s name recognition, establish goodwill for the company and its products, or identify the firm with some meaningful and socially acceptable activity. • Corporate Issue (Advocacy) Advertising • Involves a firm taking a position on a controversial social issue of public importance with the intention of swaying public opinion. • Supports position and best interests of the firm while expressly or implicitly challenging an opponent’s position and denying the accuracy of their facts. © 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning.
