Nike Launches Impressive Hyper-local iPhone App. Nike launched a new iPhone app yesterday called True City (iTunes link) with the slogan "Make the hidden visible. " The app provides hyper-local, real-time information for 6 European cities. It combines expert curation of news and events info, crowdsourced information discovery (with a chance to become an official guide), push notifications, QR codes printed and posted around the city and apparently a little Augmented Reality. Of course True City also lets you learn about shoes you can buy.
It was built by AKQA, the same design firm that made the truly useful Augmented Reality app for the US Postal Service that lets you see if an object you're holding up to your computer will fit in a postal shipping box. Design blog PSFK says that with the app, Nike appears determined to build "an army of hyper-local, mobile-connected advocates. " Can an apparel company's app compete with local content from companies specializing in that kind of work? The Downside of Corporate Portals Into Your True City. How meerkat Aleksandr Orlov helped increase the market for TV ad. Heroes come in all shapes in sizes. Yet when the TV advertising market was facing its nadir last summer nobody could have foreseen that an animated meerkat with a bizarre Russian accent might boost the ad industry by tens of millions of pounds. Since hitting TV screens last January Aleksandr Orlov, the "face" of price comparison website Comparethemarket.com, has become nothing short of a marketing phenomenon.
Orlov has captured the hearts and minds of the public; hundreds of thousands follow him on Facebook and Twitter. He has even achieved that rarefied accolade of being turned into a cuddly toy – a feat achieved by advertising icons such as ITV Digital's Monkey and Levi's Flat Eric. He was due to go on sale in Harrods for £19.95 until excessive demand prompted Mohamed Al Fayed to give the entire stock to children's charities.
The price comparison website market is big business: more than 24 million people use one each month, according to market analysts Mintel. The Direct and Indirect Effects of Advertising Spending on Firm. Executive SummaryMarketing decision makers are increasingly aware of the importance of shareholder value maximization, which calls for an evaluation of the long-term effects of their actions on both product-market response and investor response. However, the marketing literature to date has focused on the sales or profit response of marketing actions, such as advertising spending and new product development, and the goals of marketing have traditionally been formulated from a customer perspective.
Lately, there have been a few studies of the long-term investor response to marketing actions, in particular the stock returns of publicly traded firms. The current research investigates one important aspect of this impact, the long-term relationship between advertising spending and market capitalization. The authors hypothesize that advertising can have a direct effect on valuation (i.e., an effect over and above its indirect effect through sales revenue and profit response). Dominique M. Estimating the long-term effects of advertising on sales: a co-i. The Direct and Indirect Effects of Advertising Spending on Firm. Hysteresis In Market Response: When Is Marketing Spending An Inv. Conventional wisdom says that it takes ever increasing marketing budgets and/or lower prices to create sustained growth in sales, which may or may not be profitable in the long run.
However, some documented cases and conceptual evidence suggest that marketing spending or prices can exhibit hysteresis in market response, a condition where temporary changes in the marketing mix are associated with permanent movements in sales performance. As such, hysteresis creates a long-run investment benefit from marketing actions, which can be highly beneficial to the firm, or detrimental to competition.
Yet the assessment and formal implications of market response hysteresis for marketing resource allocation are unexplored. This paper addresses the modeling of marketing hysteresis in three ways: one, it shows how the presence of full vs. partial hysteresis in response may be assessed from longitudinal data on sales and marketing-mix allocations.

Advertising, Evaluation of Results: Encyclopedia of Small Busine. Once the small business owner has successfully designed and placed an ad (or had that ad successfully designed and placed by an agency), he or she will be eagerly awaiting the increased sales that advertising promises.
While advertising can be an effective means of increasing profitability, measurable increases in sales may not be immediately forthcoming. But if the advertising was well-planned, well-placed, and well-executed, it will likely produce positive results eventually. It is widely accepted among advertising experts that one major benefit of advertising any business is the cumulative effect of the message on consumers. This effect occurs as consumers are repeatedly exposed to advertising which may not have an immediate impact, but becomes familiar and remains in the memory.
This message will be recalled when the need arises for the service which was advertised.
