Message Presentation• Messages are to be structured keeping the objective of the
communication and the audience in view. Ex:Voltas refrigerators incorporating rational appeals
Advertising Message Structure
• The Appeal
• Value
• Slogan
The important aspects of message structure are:
• Drawing conclusions,
• Repetition,
• One versus- two-sided argument
• Comparative Advertising (CA)
• Order of Presentation
I. Drawing conclusions• Example of this is the recent ad campaign sponsored
by the Poultry Farm Association in Gujarat, promoting the use of eggs among vegetarians.
• Eggs from the poultry farms were given a new name the “Veggs” and recommended for consumption in that segment of society which is fully vegetarian.
The Farex baby food ad, starting with a sensational headline:
• ““Your baby is born with a 3- month gift of iron. Your baby is born with a 3- month gift of iron. After 3 months, milk alone cannot give him the After 3 months, milk alone cannot give him the iron he needs.” iron he needs.”
• The ad closes with the conclusion: “Doctors recommend Farex.
(ii) Repetition: A repeated message increases awareness and knowledge on A repeated message increases awareness and knowledge on
the part of the prospect. Audience retention improves with the part of the prospect. Audience retention improves with repetition, and falls off quickly when repetition is abandoned.repetition, and falls off quickly when repetition is abandoned.
(iii) One sided Communication:(iii) One sided Communication: Persuasive communication that presents only one point of view;
also called one-sided appeal. Most mass media advertising messages are one-sided.
• A one-sided message is more appropriate for an audience that is favorably inclined toward the view being presented or doubtful to be exposed to the other side.
• A religious fund-raising appeal is usually one-sided on the assumption that the targeted audience is favorably feeling like toward the view being explain and doubtful to be accessible to other religious beliefs.
• With a more doubtful audience, a one-sided message is less effective than a two-sided message which presents both points of view and then arguments to counter the opposing view.
Two-sided message
• Persuasive communication that presents two points of view and
then presents arguments to counter the opposing view; also
called two-sided appeal.
• A two-sided message is more appropriate to an audience that is
favorably feeling like toward the opposing view or is likely to be
exposed to strong arguments for the other side.
• Two-sided messages work best with an educated audience that
tends to make informed choices like industrial buyers.
• The order in which the views are presented in a two-sided
appeal can affect the impact of each message depending upon
the audience characteristics.
(iv) Comparative Advertising (CA):
• A product is directly or indirectly compared with a competitive
product to show the advertised product to advantage. This
trend has been seen more and more in some recent
campaigns, especially when new brands in parallel categories
are springing up at a rapid rate.
• Most prominent among these have been the Pepsi, Savlon,
Captain Cook Salt and Pepsodent and Colgate campaigns.
• The Rin-and-a-look-alike-Ariel campaign is also a pointer.
• Captain Cook, the free-flowing salt has been compared to Tata
salt that is moist enough to stick. In fact, Captain Cook has
translated its technological superiority into product superiority.
(v) Order of Presentation:
• Whether to put the strongest argument first or last in the
advertiser’s presentation is equally important.
• In a one-sided argument, it is advisable to present the strongest
point first, for it will result in better attention and interest. This is
done with the objective of achieving the primary effect.
However, when an audience necessarily required a two-sided
communication, it is better, to start with the other side’s
argument and slowly neutralize the audience which is opposed
to the communicator’s position, and conclude the message with
the strongest argument.
Message Execution:
While executing a message the style, tone, words, and format
for executing the message should be kept in mind.
Style: Any message can be presented in any of the following
different execution styles, or a combination of them:
Slice of life: Shows one or more persons using the product in a
normal setting. Coke 1litre ad, showed a family enjoying Coke,
with a game of antakshari when there is a power failure.
Lifestyle: Emphasizes how a product fits in with a lifestyle. Asmi
and Platinum ads, that focuses on lifestyle of persons using
their products.
Fantasy: Creates a fantasy around the product or its use. VIP
Frenchie ads, showing a woman thinking of the Frenchie man
saving her from a villain.
• Mood or image: Evokes a mood or image around the product,
such as beauty, love, or serenity. No claim is made about the
product except through suggestion. Kingfisher Beer ads, saying
the King of Good Times.
Musical: Uses background music or shows one or more
persons or cartoon characters singing a song involving the
product. Nescafe, Bacardi usually use Music as the main theme
of communication
Personality symbol: Creates a character that personifies the
product. The character might be animated Ronald McDonald for
McDonald’s.
Technical expertise: Shows the company’s expertise,
experience, and pride in making the product.GE and Skoda ads
Scientific evidence: Presents survey or scientific evidence
that the brand is preferred over or outperforms other brands.
This style is common in the over-the-counter drug category.
Duracell Ads, claiming the battery lasts 6 times longer than
ordinary batteries
Testimonial evidence: This features a highly credible, likable,
or expert source endorsing the product. It could be a celebrity
or ordinary people saying how much they like the product. In
ads for Sunsilk, they had hair expert Colene, endorsing the
product.
COPY OF ADS IN PRINT
Headline idea:• Headlines may be in many forms - they may be
questions, news flashes, and statements from celebrities, warnings and appeals.
• There is no right or wrong length or form for an effective headline.
• Each headline must relate clearly and specifically to the intended audience and to the rest of the advertisement, highlighting the product features and its USP.
Sub-head:
Sub-heads should further carry the idea of theme and should Sub-heads should further carry the idea of theme and should help readers to have more knowledge of the product and help readers to have more knowledge of the product and services, for they (subheads) generally expand or amplify the services, for they (subheads) generally expand or amplify the headline idea. headline idea.

Body copy:• It stimulates liking and preference for a product; it
systematically develops the benefits and promise offered by the
product, explains, logically and rationally, product attributes,
features and product values, and gives convincing arguments in
favor of, and evidence in support of, the claims made about the
superiority of the advertised product.
• In the body copy, both emotional and rational reasons are put
forward to persuade consumers to buy a particular brand.
• Facts and figures about the product, its test results,
testimonials, guarantees of satisfactory performance, and a
reference list of customer patronizing the product all these are
given in the body copy, depending upon the nature of the
product, the market and competition.
• Emotional appeals are generally useful when advertising "convenience or style goods" rather than consumer durables.
• A rational appeal is appropriate for industrial goods.
Closing idea:
• Since an ad is a one-way communication, it should be
closed with enough information and motivation for the
buyer to act.
• There are varying types of closing an idea "call to action,"
"buy now," "visit today our dealer/ stockiest,"
"announcement of festival discount," "send enquiries
immediately to," etc.
TYPES OF COPY:TYPES OF COPY:• Scientific copy (Technical specifications are specified. E.g. High
involvement goods or durable goods or industrial goods.)
• Descriptive copy: In a non-technical manner, the product attributes are described. The copy uses direct active sentences. There are short sentences. It looks very commonplace announcement.
• Narrative copy: Here a fictional story is narrated. The benefits of the product emerge from the story. Maybe, the narrative is humorous. Or else, it has strong appeal. It should make an imprint on our memory.
• Colloquial copy: Here informal conversational language is used to convey the message. It could even become a dialogue. In many TV advertisements, we find the colloquial copy.
• Humorous copy: Humor has been heavily used in advertising-especially in TV commercials. It is just as heavily suspect. But effective humor makes the advertisement noticeable.
• Topical copy: comes about when a copy is integrated to a recent happening or event. Especially during the world cup days, you had ads like – ‘Britannia Khao, World Cup Jao’.
• Endorsement copy: here a product is endorsed by an opinion leader who has a large following.
• Questioning Copy: In this copy, several questions are put forward not to seek answers but to emphasize a certain attribute.
• Prestige Copy: The product is not directly advertised. Only a distinguished and favorable atmosphere is created for the sale of the product. The copy is used to build an image.
• “Reason Why” Copy: It is known as an explanatory copy where the reasons for a purchase are explained. Each reason illustrates a particular attribute, and its benefit to the consumer. One attribute may be chosen and repeated for several times, each time an occasion is given to justify it.
• Wordless Advertisements There are at times billboards with only an inscription like Amul. Otherwise they are totally wordless. Wordless advertising is an example of non-verbal communication (NVC) and are pictorially.
• Comparative copy here two brands are compared either in good light or in a way to belittle the other. The cola war can be an excellent example of this type.
• Advertorial is a newspaper or magazine feature that appears to be edited but is really an ad.
• Intentional copy comes about when advertisers copy elements from rival creative in the same product category in order to create dissonance with a view to secure competitive foothold, e.g. Liril Vs Cinthol ads both emphasizing lime freshness.
• Disruptive copy comes about when there is a disruption in the way of thinking or conventional thinking.
