The Indian advertising industry has evolved from being a small-scaled business to a full-
fledged industry. The advertising industry is projected to be the second fastest growing
advertising market in Asia after China. It is estimated that by 2018, the share of ad spend
in Indias Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be around 0.45 per cent.
The Indian government has given tremendous support to the advertising and marketing
industry. Advertising expenditure is likely to increase in the financial sector, driven by
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policies which could result in a more favourable business
environment. Also, proposed licences for new banks and better market sentiments render
the advertising and marketing industry in India a fertile space.
Market size
Print contributes a significant portion to the total advertising revenue, accounting for
almost 41.2 per cent, whereas TV contributes 38.2 per cent, and digital contributes 11
per cent of the total revenue. Outdoor, Radio and Cinema make up the balance 10 per
cent.
Indias digital advertisement market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 33.5 per cent to cross the Rs 25,500 crore (US$ 3.8 billion) mark by
2020.*
The Internet's share in total advertising revenue is anticipated to grow twofold from eight
per cent in 2013 to 16 per cent in 2018. Online advertising, which was estimated at Rs
2,900 crore (US$ 435 million) in 2013, could jump threefold to Rs 10,000 crore (US$ 1.5
billion) in five years, increasing at a compound annual rate of 28 per cent.

Government Initiatives
The Governments of India and Canada have signed an audio-visual co-production deal
which facilitates producers from both countries to harness their collective artistic,
technical, financial and marketing resources, and encourage exchange of culture and art
between the two countries. The agreement is also likely to lead to better promotion of
Indian locales for shooting films. "The agreement will also lead to the transparent
funding of film production and boost export of Indian films into the Canadian market,"
as per the agreement.
India and Poland are seeking to enhance cooperation in the digitisation and restoration of
film archives. This was decided in a meeting between Mr Bimal Julka, Secretary of
Information and Broadcasting, India, and a delegation from Poland led by Ms
Malgorzata Omilanowska, Secretary of State. The two countries will form a joint
working group that will help improve cooperation in fields such as student exchange
programmes, animation, films and digitisation, among others. Mr Rajyavardhan Singh
Rathore, Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting, has announced that Indian
government has planned to increase advertising spend on the digital platform which will
help increases the governments presence in digital media.
Road Ahead
The advertising and marketing sector in India is expected to enjoy a good run. Growth is
expected in retail advertisement, on the back of factors such as several players entering
the food and beverages segment, e-commerce gaining more popularity in the country,
and domestic companies testing out the waters. The rural region is a potentially
profitable target. For instance, in the automobiles sector, the focus of two-wheelers on
rural areas could mean more launches and more advertising spends. The telecom sector
could see growth as well, driven by better smartphone penetration and service providers
cutting down on prices.
A consumer is the central point in business. Now a days attracting & satisfying
customers is the most difficult than producing the goods. For any products, many brands
are available in the market. Every company wants to increase its market share. Now
buyers dominate the market. So sellers have to make a lot of efforts to attract & to
persuade the persons to purchase its products & services. Advertising is an important
means to influence consumers attitude & purchase behavior. Advertising increases
brand familiarity, develop brand image & helps the organization in increasing its market
share. Advertising is to invest resources in purchase time or space in mass media such as
T.V, Radio, and newspapers, magazines that helps to promote the companys product or
services.
MEANING OF ADVERTISING:
The term advertising is derived from L1atin word averters, which means to turn
attention towards a specific thing. The dictionary meaning of the word advertising is to
announce publicly or to give public notice. In other words, it may be interpreted as to
attract the attention of the people concerned to a specific thing, which has been
announced, by the advertiser. In this way advertising is turning the attention of the
people towards product, services, and ideas by an identified sponsor.
The simplest meaning of an advertisement is that it is a public announcement. In
earlier times, to advertise meant to announce publicly. Some advertisements even today
just inform the public for example: - classified advertisements give information about
sale of second hand vehicles, property accommodation, matrimonial, public notice,
tender notice, recruitment advertisement etc.
The aim of every business is to earn a profit & this aim can casualty be achieved
by selling goods at reasonable prices. The sales are possible only if the target audience
knows about the availability of goods & they are persuaded to buy it. All this is possible
through advertising which is deliberately action to popularize the product or service.
All Advertising efforts are directed mainly towards the achievements of business,
marketing and advertising objectives i.e. to increase the sales turnover and thus to market
the maximum profit. The advertiser spend lakhs of rupees into this advertising activity.
In the background of all these efforts, is an attempt to attract the customer towards the
product through advertising.
The effectiveness of advertising in a particular media may also be measured
in any of the following ways:
Basis of Planning :
Measuring the effectiveness of the advertising is done with a view to improve
the advertising plan by having a comparative view of the objectives set out in the plan
and the objectives or goals achieved during the course of execution of the plan. If the
achievement is higher an attempt should be made to maintain the position and if there is
an unfavorable attitude, this should be avoided by making the necessary adjustments in
the goals or by improving the functioning of the various activities. These variations-
favorable or unfavorable may form the basis of the new advertising plan. Variation is
must and it should be located properly and then corrective steps should be taken. Thus
measuring the effectiveness is necessary for the planning.
The Difference of post and pre campaign sales in cities is the result of
advertising and all others factors that affects the sales. In control cities, the difference of
these two sales shows the affect of other factors except advertising. By subtracting the
sales differences in the control cities from those in test cities, a tolerably accurate
estimate can be gathered of the effect of advertising only on sales provided that the test
and the control cities are reasonably comparable.

Despite the uncertainties about the relationship between the intermediate effects
of advertising and the ultimate results, there is no other alternative but to use indirect
measures. The most commonly measures are:
Exposure to Advertisement
These measures assume that customers can recall or recognize what they
have viewed or listened to. Various mechanical devices are being used in the
western countries which provide indices of attention such as eye-cameras etc.
Comprehension
Consumers generally use advertisements as a means of obtaining
information about the product, brand or the manufacturer. They cannot be
informed unless they comprehend the message. Various tests for valuating
comprehension are available.
One is recall tests- an indicator of comprehension because it is evident
that consumers of this variable is to ask questions about subjects how much they
have comprehended a message they have recently heard or seen. One may
employ somewhat imprecise test of the comprehension of a newspaper and radio
advertisement. One may ask typical target consumers from time to time such
questions like what did you think of our new commercial? and Did it get the
message across ?.The answers of these questions will provide sufficient insight
into advertising decisions making.
Attitude Change
Since advertising is considered to be one way of influencing the state of
the mind of the audience towards a product, services or organization, the results
are very often measured in terms of attitudes among groups exposed to
advertising communication. Several measures are used ranging from asking the
questions about willingness to buy the likelihood of buying to the measurement
of the extent to which specific attributes are associated with a product.
This involves the measurements of attitude of the customers towards the
product, service or organization in question both before and after the appearance
Action
One objective of advertisement may be assumed to be to stimulate action
or behavior. The action or intention to take an action may be measured on the
intention to buy measuring instrument. Under this type of measure, consumers
are asked to respond why they are interested in purchasing the product or brand.
Their responses may include such points as the following regarding the product
under consideration-
I already own it.
I have no intention to buy the product.
I hope to buy it soon or within a year.
I will probably buy it sometimes in the future.
I am sure, I will never buy it.
The classification and analysis of such responses will show the extent of the
intention of consumer towards the action they had in mind about the product and are
indicative of expected future purchasing activities.
One type of action that advertisers attempt to induce is buying behavior. The
assumption is that if an increase in sales follows a decrease in advertising expenditure,
Thus, these above measures are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the
advertisements. It seems from the analysis of the above methods of measuring
effectiveness that directly or indirectly changes in sales or profits are taken as the
measuring rod of effectiveness of the advertising. After all, however, advertisement is
done either to increase or maintain sales either directly or indirectly.
Every one in the business heavily relies upon the advertisement to influence the
mind emotions and actions of the people favorably towards the product or brand or an
idea. Though advertising is expensive yet it is vital to every business for it success. The
advertiser wants that the audience should see or read his advertisement with interest so
that it may arouse their demand, desire and action. For this purpose, advertising copy
research is done to see how will an advertisement succeeds in attracting the attention and
stimulating the desire and action of the people for whom it is made and how will it
delivers the intended message about a product or an idea. Advertisement copy is done to
be sure of its effectiveness.
Types of Tests
Copy tests can be grouped a Pre-Tests and Post-Tests.
Pre-Tests are made before an advertisement has been run. It can be done at three stages:
i. At the beginning of the creation process,
ii. At the end of the creation process, and
iii. At the end of the production stage.
The main purposes of such testing are to measure the effectiveness of different
presentation of the message including alternative presentations of the single theme. Such
tests help one to choose the best form of advertisements before incurring the expenses
and the risk of presenting it on a full scale run. They are intended to discover the plus
and minus points of an advertising campaign and of the individual advertisement.
The tests which are made after the campaign has been launched are generally
known as Post-Tests. These tests are conducted to determine the effectiveness of an
advertisements after it is published. Post-Tests measure the impact of the message. They
seek to discover which advertisements and what elements of various advertisements get
the best response, what position produces better results, what medium or issue of a
medium pulls better or how well a whole advertising campaign is progressing. Such tests
provide information about whether a brand name or the selling theme of a given
advertisement or advertising campaign penetrated the readers mind and the extent of its
penetration.
The Internet has attracted companies in different industries to market products and
services. However, many companies have become disenchanted with the Internet, as they
have not achieved the commercial potential anticipated. Some suggested the Internet is
better suited for interpersonal communication and personal sites rather than for
marketing products. However, researchers suggest that value-based advertising is the key
concept behind their success. The paper reviews the nature and role of value-based
advertising as applied to advertising on the Internet.
Introduction
Since 1996, The World Wide Web has captured significant public attention. Exponential
growth in Internet hosts and personal computer adoption has led to dramatic increases in
online activity. There are 88 million Internet users in the United States. This number is
expected to reach 143 million by the end of 2004. Millions of people are online for
various reasons such as sending e-mail (52%), reading news (22%), surfing on the web
for fun (21%), buying products (4%), participating in auctions (3%), and finding friends
(2%) (Internet Advertising, 2001).During the growth process, marketers recognized that
the Internet was a medium for reaching millions of potential customers. Since then,
marketers have adapted valuebased advertising strategies to the Internet. Advertising
revenues in 2000 were reported at $8.2 billion in the United States. This has been
achieved in just six years. Forecasters predict that advertising revenues will top $14
billion by the year 2002 (Netvalue, 2000).
Additionally, advertising on the Internet has created opportunities for businesses
to develop new services and products (Hanson, 1999). However, many companies have
become disenchanted with the Internet since they have not achieved the commercial
potential promised. Some have suggested that the Internet is better suited for
interpersonal communication and personal sites rather than for commerce. Some reports
indicate that companies are removing their ads and writing off their investment with
executives questioning whether the potential is real or just hype.Hence, the purpose of
this paper is to review the nature of value-based advertising as it applies to the Internet.
Regarding the Internet, Berthon, Pitt, and Watson (1996) and Lamb, Hair and McDaniel
(1996) suggest that marketers need to understand the true nature of this medium to
enhance its effectiveness. They add that value is a factor that plays an important role in
the overall effectiveness of the web sites. Value relates directly to the quality of the data
provided on the site. Barker and Groenne (1996) investigated the type of value strategies
being used on the Internet and concluded that value in Internet advertising is provided in
three ways: information, entertainment and purchase facilitation. Furthermore, the
authors argue that the level of customer involvement should be taken into consideration
when selecting the type of value strategies to implement. This assertion is consistent with
those of Rossiter, Percy, and Donovan (1991). , and with the Elaboration Likelihood
Model Traditional consumer behavior literature would suggest that intense product
information is vital for high involvement product web sites, while entertainment content
may be more fit for low involvement product sites Additionally, the primary reason fo r
distinguishing between high and low product involvement is that habit, intuition and
convenience sometimes guide the actions of consumers rather than rational
considerations (Lamb, 1996).
Ducoffe (1996) notes the importance of value-based ads in the traditional media and
defines an advertising message as an exchange of communication as well as an exchange
of value between a company and potential consumers. Furthermore, Ducoffe suggests
Howard (1989) further explored the role of advertising content and argued that the more
pleasure, arousal and dominance in advertising content, the more effective the
advertising. In another study, Ducoffe (1996) found that the value of entertainment lies
inits ability to fulfill the emotional needs of the audience.g
This review covers a wide range of issues related to tobacco in nine subject areas:
demand, supply, and trade of tobacco leaves, demand for cigarettes, cigarette advertising,
cigarette taxes, social costs of smoking, economic significance of tobacco industry, and
farm issues associated with tobacco control. To select for the most relevant literature for
the review, first, key words were used to search for articles related to the nine topics
from three large databases: Arcola created by the National Agricultural library of the
United States Department of Agriculture, National Smoking Data Base maintained by
the Office on Smoking and Health of Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in the
United States, and Ecolit (economic literature) available at the library of Kansas State
University. The abstract and full text of each identified study were then reviewed, and
results from the reviewed study summarized. The study period covered by this review is
between 1985 and 2000, but a few important studies conducted before 1985 are also
included.
The objectives of the study are interrelated & can be easily deducted from one
