University Advertising Campaign Report: Fitness Club Promotion

This report provides a detailed analysis of an advertising campaign, focusing on the promotion of a fitness club. The report begins by defining campaign objectives, including identifying the advertising purpose, main competitors, campaign strategies, and differentiation strategies. It then delves into the feasibility of the objectives, considering consumer behavioral factors and legal/ethical requirements. The report identifies resource requirements, explores media options (television, social media, posters, and newspapers), and outlines the overall budget allocation. A comprehensive schedule is developed, identifying service providers, and a task analysis table details key tasks, durations, and costs. The report includes an evaluation of campaign effectiveness, addressing key result areas and metrics. Short answer questions cover advertising principles, the hierarchy of effects model, encoding variability, the unique selling proposition, and components of advertising. Finally, the report defines key terms such as industry, services, products, and organization, and discusses ethical requirements such as transparency, fairness, honesty, respect, privacy, non-maleficence, integrity, rights, and appropriateness.

Task 1: Define Campaign Objectives
1.1. Identification of the purpose and objectives of the campaign
Questions:
 How are you going to identify the advertising purpose and objective?
 Who are the main competitors?
 How the content of the campaign will look and how it will sound like?
 What are the strategies of the advertisement campaign?
 How will it help in differentiating the company’s services from others?
 How the company will use the differentiation strategy in order to compete
with their competitors?
1.2. Objectives of the campaign
The objectives of the campaign are specific.
 The company has decided to conduct a campaign in order to accomplish their
goal of enhancing the number of visitors to their fitness club.
 Their mission is to raise awareness about fitness within an identified target
market.
 The purpose of the advertisement is to make the viewers aware of their club
and promote the brand.
1.3. Feasibility of the campaign objectives
The campaign objectives are feasible and can be implemented within the timeline. It
is important to ensure that all the objectives of the campaign re achievable and feasible. The
campaign goals can be achieved within the company’s budget, which has been allocated. The
budget will help in providing with the brief of original campaign. Additional research must

3ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
be done before organizing the campaign and differentiation strategies can be implemented
(Armstrong et al., 2015).
1.4. Consumers’ behavioral factors affecting campaign objectives
Two demographic factors of consumer behavior affecting the outcome of the
campaign are; income level and education level of the consumer. Two psychographic factors
of the consumer behavior affecting the campaign’s outcome are; motivation and self
actualization needs. The advertisement can address these issues by doing a research on the
consumer behavior, their attitude and buying method (Boztepe, 2012).
1.5. Legal and Ethical requirements
The campaign meets the legal and ethical requirements as it builds the reputation of
the company in a fair as well as professional conduct. It fosters higher sales and business over
time. This consists of transparency, honesty and lessens the consumers’ rights risks.
However, it helps in developing a peace of mind by minimizing the complaints within the
business organization (Callaghan et al., 2012).

Answer 2
The key principle of advertising is to make people aware of a certain brand or
product. It appeals to the emotion as well as reason of the customers. The basic principle is to
grab the attention of the consumers by being interesting (Niazi et al., 2012). The
advertisement appeals to the viewers and they desire to buy the product. Once they are clear
about the product’s feature they perform the action, that is buy it. For instance; an
advertisement of a baby product will obviously be different from that of an insurance
company (Farahat & Bailey, 2012).

Answer 3
Figure: Hierarchy of Effects Model
(Source: Created by Author)
The customer after seeing an advertisement becomes aware of the products and gain
knowledge from various sources. Once the customer gains interest, he/she starts liking the
product, which will influence their preferences. The conviction stage is to create a desire in
the customer’s mind and he/she ends up purchasing the product. Cognitive is the thinking
stage, affective is the feeling stage and conative is the behavior stage (Buxton, Phillippi &
Collins, 2015).
