  10. Answer: C • Government regulations such as the one prohibiting radio and television cigarette advertising, are part of the external factors that affect promotion. Changes in the products price or distribution methods, or reorganization of the businesses are examples of internal factors that affect promotion.

  11. 82. How does promotion benefit customers? • Causes them to postpone making buying decisions • Enables them to identify their buying motives • Helps them to select appropriate products • Requires them to spend more on products

  12. Answer: C • Promotion helps the customer determine which product is the right one for him/her, or the most appropriate. Promotion introduces new products to consumers and assists with decision making. It does not help consumers to spend more on products or delay decisions. It is the salespersons job to identify the customers buying motives or reasons for buying.

  13. 83. What type of promotion is depicted by a business’s one-time announcement of its half-price sale in the local newspaper? • Product promotion • Institutional advertising • Free publicity • Sales promotion

  14. Answer: A • Product promotion attempts to persuade consumers to buy a good or service. A half-price sale is attempting to do just that. Since the business is paying for its own announcement, this is not publicity. Institutional promotion aims to create a certain image in the eyes of consumers. Sales services, images, and/or ideas to achieve a desired outcome.

  16. Answer: B • In the growth stage, competing products on the market, and promotional activities focus on pointing out differences between competing products. When a product is first placed on the market, it is in the introductory stage, and it is promoted to gain customer awareness. Little product promotion occurs during the declining stage; rather, money is invested in promotional activities to maintain a positive company image.

  17. 84. What is an objective of institutional advertising? • To support personal selling activities • To demonstrate the organizations role in community affairs • To introduce new goods or services • To create consumer interest in the company’s goods or services

  19. 86. What form of promotion is generally emphasized for complex, technical products sold to industrial users? • Personal selling • Sales promotion • Publicity • Advertising

  20. Answer: A • Products sold to industrial users are usually complex, technical, expensive, and require demonstration. Because of these characteristics, personal selling should be emphasized. Sales promotion, publicity, and advertising could be used to support personal selling.

  21. 87. How do competing businesses within the same industry usually react to each others promotional mixes? • By playing follow the leader • By reducing their promotional budgets • By trying not to outdo each other • By changing distribution channels

  22. Answer: A • Competing businesses within the same industry usually use quite similar promotional mixes because of the factors affecting the promotional mix are the same for those businesses. Businesses also use the same promotional activities to prevent losing customers to competitors. Changing the distribution channel would not necessarily make the business more competitive. Reducing the promotional budget or trying not to outdo the competition would make the business less competitive.

  23. 88. What is an example of publicity? • Company news release • Direct mail • Billboard • Company television commercial

  24. Answer: A • Publicity is a nonpersonal form of promotion that's not paid for by the company or individual that receives it. A news release would be prepared by the company but presented at the publisher’s expense. Direct mail, a billboard, and a company television commercial are examples of advertising.

  25. 89. What is an example of advertisement stereotyping? • A television commercial depicts a woman moping the kitchen with a new floor cleaner • A print ad shows a middle age male pouring orange juice in glasses for his children • A magazine ad campaign presents a variety of people who encourage others to drink milk • A well known athlete records a PSA that emphasizes the importance of continuing education

  26. Answer: A • A stereotype is a set image or an assumption about a person or thing. Until recent decades, many people associated home making or house cleaning as a females primary responsibility. However, it is not generally true today. With more women in the work force, house hold and child care (e.g. a man pouring orange juice for children), responsibilities are often shared with males. Therefore, the print aren't engaging in stereotyping. Using a well known athlete to promote continuing education does not necessarily promote stereotypes.

  27. 90. Which advertising message reinforces the concept of materialism? • We make this product by hand and use organic materials • The government rates our product higher than the competitors product • You can increase your social status by purchasing this product. • For more information about our line of products, visit our website.

  28. Answer: C • Materialism is an emphasis on, or preoccupation with, attaining things or certain positions- the right clothes, car, job, or social status. Some critics believe that advertisements reinforce a materialistic attitude in today's society- defining a person value in society by his/her possessions. For example, an add for a designer product might imply that you will achieve a certain social status or acceptance if you buy the product. An advertisement claiming that a product has a higher government rating than a competitors product is an example of a comparison ad. An advertisement stating that a handmade product is constructed of organic materials is an example of an ad that reinforces the concept of social responsibility. A business usually would not place an advertisement for the sole purpose of directing consumers to its website.

  29. 91. What is new technology enabling businesses to create that is impacting the promotion function? • Personalized premiums • Attractive commercials • Publicity campaigns • Individualized messages

  30. Answer: D • The new information technology that includes computerized databases that allows businesses to create individualized promotional messages. Businesses can collect a variety of information about customers, enter the information into a database and use the computer to sort data. For example, a business might track customers according to their preferences for products and then generate mailing lists and individualized messages that promote specific products to specific customers. Businesses created commercials, premiums, and publicity campaigns before the new technology was developed; however, new technology makes some of these activities easier to perform.

  31. 92. How have technological advancements enhanced a small businesses ability to promote its products? • Most companies need fewer channels to coordinate and carry out promotional activities. • Small companies now have more money to spend on promotional activities. • Less time and creativity are required to develop promotional campaigns. • Information can be communicated by more venues, and messages can be customized.

  32. Answer: D • Because there are more people who are using personal computers, new computer software programs are being developed to help businesses of all sizes to personalize promotional messages. Personalized messages can be developed for specific target market members and can be communicated through traditional direct mail or internet channels. Although technological advancements often help companies become more productive and cost efficient, it does necessarily mean that the businesses have additional funds to spend on promotional activities. Although computer advancements have helped accelerate the time to develop promotional campaigns, it does not necessarily affect creativity. The number of channels needed to carry out promotional plans is highly dependant on the type of promotional activity.

  33. 93. Why are there specific guidelines for advertising to children? • Research indicated that juvenile offenders watch more advertising on television than the average child • Children are impressionable, and the wrong kinds of advertising can affect their development • Parents mounted a campaign against advertisers because their children demanded products they saw advertised. • Children revealed, in focus groups, that while they like watching ads, it doesn’t make them behave differently.

  34. Answer: B • This was one of the most controversial issues of the 1970’s. Children were watching hours and hours of television each day, and some people believed that advertisers were taking advantage of the fact that children are impressionable and often unable to evaluate advertising messages and make responsible purchase decisions. So, legislation was passed in the better business bureau, among others, published guidelines geared specifically to advertisers who target children in their communication. Parents were among those who raised issues about advertising to children, but not primarily because their children were asking for the products they saw on television. Research has shown that children exposed to a lot of advertising behave differently but there is no known research linking juvenile offenders with watching television advertising.

  35. 94. Which statement is true about regulating international promotional activities? • Most countries have a system of checks and balances to verify that promotional regulations are fair • Businesses must submit all promotional materials to the international ad coalition for approval • Governments bare the sole responsibility of monitoring promotional materials and regulations • A business must understand that the laws governing promotional activities vary by country

  36. Answer: D • Some countries have strict promotional laws that markers must follow, while other countries laws are lenient. A business that breaks a promotional may have to pay government fines, which is costly to the business. Therefore, it is important for marketers to understand which promotional activates are, and are not, permissible in the countries where they sell and promote products. The international ad coalition is a fictitious organization in some countries, industry and consumer goods groups influence how the government regulate promotion. Some, rather than most, countries have a system of checks and balances to verify promotion regulations are fair.
