Advertising Effectiveness back to top

Advertising Effectiveness is the bottom-line measure of the brand's success. It is the operating principle that supports Return on Advertising Investment, and determines the value of a brand's advertising efforts on some metric of brand performance such as unit sales, dollar revenues, or profit.

Wandara’s measure of advertising effectiveness is derived from a quantitative evaluation of the brand's actual executed media support and the short-term volume generated by that support. Our criterion is actual consumer behavior and financial performance - not simply creative appeal or "awareness" - because without a tangible short-term effect there is little likelihood of a long-term ROI. Consumers must respond by purchasing more of a product than they would have had there been no advertising.

Virtually any advertising presence keeps a product relevant to some degree to potential consumers. However, communications can have varying degrees of impact on buying behavior, based on factors such as:

  • How quickly do diminishing returns start leveling off the rate of response?
  • How long does advertising continue to effect short-term sales after audience exposure?
  • How well is the advertising timed to capture seasonal opportunity?
  • How much opportunity is there for incremental purchases? (Will buyers wash more windows or increase serving size to maintain the purchase cycle?)
  • How well priced is the product to other category offerings?

When advertising effectiveness is high, the brand can expand. When it is low, valuable opportunities are lost; the brand becomes more sensitive to price changes, and more vulnerable to competitors.

  • Given my latest marketing plans, category trends and competitive assumptions, what sales should we expect next year?
  • Is our current marketing plan capable of delivering our business growth goal of 5%? If not, what changes can we make to get there?
  • We're running 5% behind forecast. What will our sales need to be in each of the remaining months to achieve our original targets?
  • What sales impact should we expect if we increase or reduce prices? ...if we increase advertising? ..if we drop more consumer events?
  • What impact will the economic downturn have in each of our target markets?

Media Scheduling back to top

How do you develop media schedules that maximize a brand's sales and profits? Over the years, the challenge hasn't changed. The complexity of the task, however, has grown significantly. The Internet, alternative media, new channels and titles, ultra-fragmented audiences - they all complicate the decision making process.

Wandara helps you evaluate alternative schedules and determine how various plans will impact sales and profitability for an individual product or portfolio of products.

Wandara leverages their vast experience to determine a unique Marketing Mix model to generate optimized media schedules.

Wandara will help you determine reliable, data-driven answers to important questions:

  • How should I spend my budget across the year to maximize sales?
  • I've been reading a lot lately about the recency theory. Is this appropriate for my brand? If not, what flighting pattern should we use?
  • How should we allocate our advertising budget across different products in our portfolio?
  • Should we be allocating our budget locally? If so, what percentage?
  • What are our priority markets?

Market Research and Analysis back to top

Our mission is to help our clients improve marketing effectiveness through superior analysis. It's more than just "research." We provide fact-driven insights and recommendations that lead to smart strategies, powerful, efficient plans and measurable sales and ROI.
