VCP Soft solutions offers consulting in Broadcast marketing for the advertisement of services or products utilizing television and/or radio broadcasts in order to gain viewers' and listeners' attention. Differing from print advertisements and marketing tactics through the mail or Internet, broadcast marketing techniques include not only traditional commercials, but also product placement in television shows and endorsements by radio personalities, based on demographic information collected by broadcast and marketing companies.
Research Viewership and Listenership
Determining television and radio demographics and their corresponding viewing habits is a necessary element to successful marketing. Organizations use a number of different research methods to find out about traditional television habits, radio habits, or demographics pertaining to newer broadcasting venues. Viewership and consumer motivation can be broken up in a number of ways, including gender, economics, race, geographic areas, and age.
This information is gleaned through focus groups, telephone surveys, and Internet interviews. These help you as a marketing professional to create a buyer behaviour model to determine where your product or service would be best served by a specific medium. The information can further help you with brand design and product placement options.
Television producers know that they can offset production costs by having products integrated into their programming. You work with writers, directors, producers, and network executives to incorporate products as props into a story line, or simply as incidental props on a set. This marketing strategy has become popular, due to the fact that options like the Internet and on demand programming often allow the viewer the opportunity to browse past commercials.
Commercial advertising for television and radio is still the primary form of marketing used by clients. You also work closely with advertising professionals in order to present creative options for commercials. Whether this is done nationally or locally, the process is the same. The purpose is to correctly market your product according to viewership or listenership. You are also responsible for buying commercial time with networks and production companies.
