Opinions on Advertising are as conflicting as opinions on Religion. Forty per cent of all the people in the world are Buddhists, and are of the Opinion that Buddhism is the only true religion. Twelve per cent of the world?s people being Roman Catholics, are firm in the opinion that the remaining 88 percent are wrong, and sure of damnation accordingly.
Too many CEO's seem satisfied to spend their money on mere opinions about advertising when they might have invested it on facts about advertising. Perhaps the salesperson was attractive you they got some good sports tickets. These are the Advertisers whose company must fail before they can be convinced that Branding is not enough and that customers have to be given a reason to buy.
Do you No a company that would give a salesperson a commission over a report from him that he was "Influencing Sales" for their other Salesperson? They would expect him to prove he was earning his salary by making a satisfactory record on sales. That is just what the advertising employer should demand from his advertising expenditure, proven sales, carrying a satisfactory profit. And, if he insists upon it he can get the kind of advertising which will actually produce sales instead of vague "Branding."
Because, true ads are "Salesmanship-on-paper" after all. When it is anything less than salesmanship it is not real Advertising, but only "Branding." And, "Branding" admittedly claims only to "increase favorable name recognition," to produce a " impression on the Trade," and to "Influence Sales" for the salespeople.
Poor advertising gives the same bad excuses a Salesman who failed to earn his keep in actually selling products or services. Brading, or any other advertising, should be judged by the same standards as the Salesman; by the goods it is clearly proven to sell divided by the amount invested. - 15266
