The Advertising Production Process<\/h1>\n

Now that you understand what media planning is, it is time to review the process. The process includes:<\/p>\n

Market analysis
\nEstablishing the media objective
\nSetting the strategy
\nImplementation
\nEvaluation and follow-up<\/p>\n

Let’s look at these steps in more detail.
\nMarket Analysis<\/p>\n

Performing a market analysis involves determining who your audience is. The audience is the number and type of people your advertising targets. The audience can be classified according to age, sex, income, occupation, etc. Performing this analysis will help you to project costs and determine the right media for your campaign.
\nEstablishing the Media Objective<\/p>\n

The media objective is the goal of the media plan. To establish this objective, you must determine your goal for reach, frequency, circulation, cost, and penetration. Reach is the amount of people the message is in front of over a period of time. Frequency is the average number of times the message is in front of those people. Circulation is used for printed advertisements. This is the number of prints that are produced and sent out. Cost is broken down into two different sections: cost per thousand (CPM) and cost per person (CPP). It is important to understand the cost as you are budgeting. The cost will tell you which form of media is the best option for your business. Penetration is the number of audience members reached by the advertising. The company must determine if it wants to take over a market or just reach a certain group prior to setting the penetration goals and strategies.
\nSetting the Strategy<\/p>\n

Now that you understand who you are marketing to and how much it will cost you, you will need to make a decision about what type of media you will use. Some options include Internet, television, radio, newspaper, consumer and business publications, and interactive media platforms. Which option reaches the largest audience? How often will it reach the audience? Does it fit in your budget?
\nImplementation<\/p>\n

Now you have a plan. Now it’s time to set it in motion. This is when you buy media. Media buying is the purchasing of the space in the selected media. This involves committing to the media provider, submitting the ad, and paying the bill. This is the exciting part. You see all your hard work come together.<\/p>\n

    Proofs, Layouts & Storyboards<\/h2>\n

    Each medium has its own parameters to follow for the advertisement.<\/p>\n

    For example, if one decides to advertising using magazines and newspapers, he\/she will need to decide what publications the ad run in and follow their specifications about such factors as size, colors, deadlines and cost.<\/p>\n

    Selection of the art suitable for the ad and write copy need to be done to tell readers about the product\/service. During this period, one may go through several proofs to finely tune the ad. Revision of each proof is done carefully to confirm that the message is clear and contains the information needed to be shared with the customers.<\/p>\n

    Many television stations have in-house production executives who can help produce a spot if one is purchasing advertising time on their station.<\/p>\n
