Scenario 3-1

In the early and mid-1800s, soaps were made from animal fats. The perishable quality of the soap, however, allowed manufacturers to sell a product with only regional appeal. This changed when soap makers began to use vegetable fats and perfume in the soap-making process.

 

According to Procter & Gamble legend, one batch of this vegetable-based soap was left to mix too long. The result was a product that floated in water due to an excess amount of air. The company turned this into a selling point and, in 1882, launched one of the first soaps with the potential for national sales–Ivory soap–with the slogans “It floats” and “99-44/100 percent pure.” (Stephen Fox, The Mirror Makers, [New York: Random House, 1984], 24.)

Scenario 3-2

When referring to the period of advertising known as the creative revolution, advertising pundit and practitioner Jerry Della Femina wrote, “Volkswagen was being handled in the United States by Fuller & Smith & Ross. Doyle, Dane took over the account around 1959. One of the first ads that came out for Volkswagen was the first ad that anyone can remember when the new agency style came through with an entirely different look. The ad simply said, ‘Lemon.’ The copy for ‘Lemon’ said that once in a while we turn out a car that’s a lemon, in which case we get rid of it. We don’t sell them. And we are careful as hell with our cars, we test them before we sell them, so the chances are you’ll never get one of our lemons.

 

“For the first time in history an advertiser said that he was capable, on rare occasions, of turning out an inferior product . . . By today’s standards, of course, this is pretty tame stuff.” (Jerry Della Femina, From Those Wonderful Folks Who Gave You Pearl Harbor, [New York: Simon and Schuster, 1970], 26-27.)

Scenario 3-3

In late 2004 a high-school teacher created the first strictly consumer produced advertisement, paying homage to Apple’s iPod mini.  It turned out to be a phenomenal hit.  Since then advertisers have gotten on board and encouraged consumers to submit ads to them. In 2007 four consumer-created ads aired on the Superbowl.  They included an ad for Firefox, an open-source web-browser that received 280 entries. The wining entry featured a girl who talks about surfing and then declares “My other browser is a surfboard.”  When General Motors requested ads for the new Chevy Tahoe was deluged with sharp anti-SUV ads from environmentally sensitive consumers.  Nevertheless, letting consumers play the ad game often means that a small investment brings big buzz.

Scenario 3-4

Interactive TV will let the TV viewer interact with the show they are watching. Imagine that you are watching a show on gardening and would like more information about the planting techniques being discussed. You could hit a button on the remote and up pops a page of more information. But interactive TV isn’t limited to just reading pages of text. In fact, that might be a very limited aspect of it. After all who wants to read a lot while the show is on?

 

An important possibility emphasizes the direct interaction of the viewer. For example, take a political show where they are discussing an upcoming election. They could run a viewer poll in real-time. The TV viewer can select their favorite candidate, and the results of all the viewers are shown in real-time as they participate.

 

With the Internet being as popular as it is, it’s a good bet that interactive TV will use the Internet in some way; however, it’s important to note that interactive TV is not just another Web site. We see it as a source of information that is tightly linked with the show it relates to. In fact, treating it as just another Web site would likely dissolve the interactive nature of the programming. If a viewer starts surfing the Web, they’ve stopped watching the show. The interactive content should add to the show, and not get in the way. (Wisconsin Public Television INteractive TV Project http://itv.wpt.org/about/)

ESSAY

 

1.   The Industrial Revolution was accompanied by several important social and economic changes. List two of theses changes and explain how they encouraged the rise of advertising.

 

ANS:

American households moved away from self-sufficiency to a dependency on the marketplace for goods. Improved transportation, especially the growth of the railroad, allowed for the distribution of mass quantities of goods. Rapid population growth in urban areas created a reachable audience. The rise of mass communication created viable advertising vehicles.

 

DIF:    Moderate        REF:   p. 77              OBJ:   3-1                 TYP:   Knowledge

 

2.   Over the years, advertisements have often used the theme of modernity. List two eras characterized by the use of this theme. Briefly describe societal trends that made the use of this theme effective during each era.

 

ANS:

The P.T. Barnum era (1875 to 1918) was noted for rapid urbanization, massive immigration, labor unrest, and concerns over the abuses of capitalism. It included the first wave of the feminist movement, the progressive movement, motion pictures, and mass culture. Advertising offered solutions to the stresses of this rapidly changing modern life.

 

The 1920s (1918 to 1929) were prosperous times. Victorian sexual repression and modesty gave way to a more open sexuality and a love affair with modernity. Advertising instructed consumers how to be thoroughly modern and how to avoid the pitfalls of this new age. There was a product with a cure for every social anxiety and personal failing. The ads of the times also exhorted consumers to have a good time and enjoy life. Many ads from this era featured themes of modernity, the division between public work space (the male domain of the office) and the private, “feminine,” space of the home. In addition, scientific and technological themes were prevalent.

 

The era of war, paranoia, and economic growth (1941 to 1960) saw enormous growth in the U.S. economy and in household incomes. The suburbs emerged, and along with them there was an explosion of consumption. Technological change fascinated the nation. The television, the telephone, and the automatic washer and dryer became common to the American lifestyle. Scenes of modern life, social promises, and a reliance on science and technology characterized advertisements of this era.

3.   The advertising industry underwent major changes in consumer perception from the 1920s to the 1930s. Describe the change in consumer perception and explain the reason or reasons for this occurrence. Describe how the style of advertising changed between these eras.

 

ANS:

The 1920s were a prosperous time, and advertisements exhorted the public to consume and enjoy life. Advertising found a previously unknown level of respectability, fame, and glamour. Advertisements were highly aesthetic–much more visual and far less wordy than those of the previous decade. However, in the 1930s, as a result of the depression, advertising became a villain. It was held to blame for seducing people into the excesses of the 1920s. The style of advertising was no-nonsense. Ads were crammed with visuals and copy.

4.   The creative revolution in advertising occurred at the same time that a larger societal revolution was underway in the United States. Describe what was occurring in America at that time. Describe how the advertisements of the era related to the larger societal changes.

 

ANS:

Advertising in the United States during the 1960s was slow to respond to the massive social revolution going on all around it. While the nation was struggling with civil rights, the Vietnam War, and the sexual revolution, advertising was often still portraying women and minorities in subservient roles. The only thing really revolutionary about 1960’s advertising was the creative revolution.

5.   The advertising industry will have to change to handle the demands of a changing communications environment in the years to come. Describe the nature of two of the changes advertising must confront. Describe two characteristics of advertising that will remain constant.

 

ANS:

The most dramatic change will be in the way advertising is prepared and delivered to the target audience. Many of the new, evolving media will not be driven by traditional advertising. With integrated programming, advertisers will have control of the content of at least some of the programming. Interactive media will allow clients to more closely assess the impact of their advertising, thus holding agencies more closely accountable for results. Most dramatically consumer generated content will allow them to co-create brand meanings.

 

On the other hand, advertising will still be a paid, mass-mediated attempt to persuade. It will remain a primary marketing mix tool that contributes to revenues and profits by stimulating demand and nurturing brand loyalty. Consumers will still be highly involved in some product decisions and not so involved in others.
