1.1INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY


"A study on customer's opinion on advertisements of Kitex products" is to
evaluate the effectiveness of advertisement that is given by the company. To
evaluate the effectiveness of advertisement it needs to conduct a survey
among the customers of Kitex. Advertisement is the art of making products to
the world in such a way that a desire for building that product is created in the
minds of people. Advertising has positive as well as negative impact in the
minds of prospective customers. Various methods of advertising can be
adopted to influence the customers.
An Advertisement is one of the topical strategies of many brands for the
promotion of their product. The purpose of mass advertisements is to gain
attention for the product, ensuring prolonged association with consumers, or
for the purpose of recall of their product in customers' mind. This study
purports to consider the application of the AIDA theory. For the purpose, it
proceeds to analyse the impact of advertisements in influencing the
consumer's attitude to purchase the durable products like Television and
Refrigerator, etc. Today, most of the advertisements come with 'celebrity
endorsements' which act as a credible means of spending money. This could
be for the reason of their social standing. People want to wear the "right"
clothes, drink the -right- beverages and use the "right" fragrances and buy
"right" durables. Studying the attitude of consumers, it can be stated that if a
consumer observes messages for two different firm's products, one product's
message containing a better advertisement and the other not, believes the
better advertisement's product will definitely have more features and so be of
higher value. Advertising is therefore essential for creating and maintaining
demand for the products.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags among people in Ernakulam district
-George Carlin
Advertising is a form of communication used to influence individuals to
purchase products or services or support political candidates or ideas.
Frequently it communicates a message that includes the name of the product
or service and how that product or service could potentially benefit the
consumer. Advertising often attempts to persuade potential customers to
purchase or to consume a particular brand of product or service. Modern
advertising developed with the rise of mass production in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries. Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased
consumption of their products or services through branding, which involves
the repetition of an image or product name in an effort to associate related
clinilities with the brand in the minds of consumers.
Defining Modern Advertising
A standard definition of advertising has five basic components:
Advertising is a paid form of communication, although some forms of
advertising such as public service announcements ( PSAs), use donated
space and time.
Not only is the message paid for, but the sponsor is identified.
Most advertising tries to persuade or influence the consumer to do
something, although in some cases the point of the message is simply
to inform customers and make them aware of the product or company.
In other words, it is strategic communication driven by objectives, and
these objectives can be measured to determine whether the advertising
was effective.
Advertising reaches a large audience of potential consumers.
The message is conveyed through many different kinds of mass media,
which are largely non personal. What that means is that advertising
isn't directed to a specific person, although this is changing with the
introduction of the internet and more inter-active media.

Meaning and Definition of Advertising


Advertising is nothing but a paid form of non-personal presentation or
promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor with a view to
disseminate information concerning an idea, product or service. The message
which is presented or disseminated is called advertisement. In the present day
marketing activities hardly is there any business in the modern world which
does not advertise. However, the form of advertisement differs from business
to business.
Advertisement has been defined differently by different persons. A few
definitions are being reproduced below:
According to Wood, "Advertising is causing to know to remember, to do."
According to Wheeler, "Advertising is any form of paid non-personal
presentation of ideas, goods or services for the purpose of inducting people to
buy."
According to Richard Buskirk, "Advertising is a paid form of non-personal
presentation of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor."
According to William J. Stanton, "Advertising consists of all the activities
involves in presenting to a group, a non-personal, oral or visual, openly
sponsored message regarding disseminated through one or more media and is
paid for by an identified sponsor."
Role and Functions of Advertising
Over time, as the practice of advertising has evolved, it has played many
different roles. It started out as a way to identify the maker of goods and that
continues to be an important role today. As technology, such as the printing
press, made it possible to reach a wider audience, advertising becomes more
focussed on providing commercial information along with the identification
of the product's maker.

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school

The Marketing Role


The process a business uses to satisfy consumer needs and wants by providing
goods and services is called marketing. The marketing department or
manager is responsible for selling a company's product, which can be goods,
a service, or an idea. Products are also identified in terms of their product
category.
The Communication Role
Advertising is a form of mass communication. It transmits different types of
market information to connect buyers and sellers in the market place. It both
informs and transforms the product by creating an image that goes beyond
straightforward facts. The broad term marketing communication include
advertising, but it also includes a number of related communication
techniques used in marketing- such as sales promotion, public relations, direct
response, events and scholarships, packaging, and personal selling.
The Economic Role
Advertising tends to flourish in societies that enjoy some level of economic
abundance, in which supply exceeds demand. In these societies, advertising
moves from being primarily informational to creating a demand for a
particular brand.
The Societal Role
Advertising also has a number of societal roles. It informs us about new and
improved products, helps us compare products and features, and generally
keeps us informed about innovations and issues. It mirrors fashion and design
trends and adds to our aesthetic sense. It has an educational role in that it
teaches about new products and how to use them.
Functions of Advertising
From the advertiser's perspective, advertising, in general, performs seven
basic functions:

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags among people in Ernakulam district

Builds awareness of products and brands.


Create a brand image
. Provides product and brand information.
Persuades people.
Provides incentives to take action.
Provides brand reminders.
Reinforces past purchases and brand experiences.
Objectives of Advertising
The purpose of advertising is nothing but to sell something -a product, a
service or an idea. The real objective of advertising is effective
communication between producers and consumers. The following are the
main objectives of advertising:
Preparing Ground for New Product
New product needs introduction because potential customers have never used
such product earlier and the advertisements prepare a ground for that new
product.
Creation of Demand
The main objective of the advertisement is to create a favorable climate for
maintaining of improving sales. Customers are to be reminded about the
product and the brand. It may induce new customers to buy the product by
informing them its qualities since it is possible that some of the customers
may change their brands.
Facing the Competition
Another important objective of the advertisement is to face to competition.
Under competitive conditions, advertisement helps to build up brand image

and when

Creating or Enhancing Goodwill: Large scale advertising is often


undertaken with the objective of creating or enhancing the goodwill of the
advertising company. This, in turn, increases the market receptiveness of the
company's product and helps the salesmen to win customers easily.
Informing the Changes to the Customers
Whenever changes are made in the prices, channels of distribution or in the
product by way of any improvement in quality, size, weight, brand, packing,
etc., they must be informed to the public by the producer through
advertisement.
In short, advertising aims at benefiting the producer, educating the consumer
and supplementing the salesmen. Above all it is a link between the producer
and the consumer.
Benefits or Importace of Advertising
It increases sales volume by creating attraction towards the product.
It helps easy introduction of new products into the markets by the same
manufacturer.
It helps to create an image and reputation not only of the products but
also of the producer or advertiser. In this way, it creates goodwill for
the manufacturer.
Retail price, maintenance is also possible by advertising where price
appeal is the promotional strategy.
It ensures more economical selling because selling overheads are
reduced.
It enables them to have product information.
It helps them to know where and when the products are available. This
reduces their shopping time
It provides an opportunity to the customers to compare the merits and
demerits of various substitute products.

This
is perhaps
the onlyinmedium
through which
consumers could know
the varied and new uses of the product.
Modern advertisements are highly informative.
Advertising prepares necessary ground for a salesman to begin his
work effectively. Hence sales efforts are reduced.
Advertising leads to a large-scale production creating more
employment opportunities to the public in various jobs directly or
indirectly.
It initiates a process of creating more wants and their satisfaction
higher standard of living. For example, advertising has made more
popular and universal the uses of such inventions as the automobiles,
radios, and various household appliances.
Types of Advertising
Advertising is complex because so many different advertisers try to reach so
many different types of audiences. Considering all these different advertising
situations, we can identify seven major types of advertising.
Brand Advertising: The most visible types of advertising is national
consumer, or brand advertising. Brand advertising focuses on the
development of a long term brand identity and image.
Retail or Local Advertising: A great deal of advertising focuses on retailers
or manufacturers that sell their merchandise in a certain geographical area. In
the case of retail advertising, the message announces facts about products that
are available in nearby stores. The objective tends to focus on stimulating
store traffic, and creating a distinctive image for the retailer.
Direct- Response Advertising: Direct- Response advertising can use any
advertising medium, including direct mail, but the message is different from
that of national and retail advertising in that it tries to stimulate a sale directly.
The consumer can respond
by telephone or mail, and the product is delivered directly to the consumer by
mail or some other carrier.

Business-to-Business
Advertising:
B2B is sent
from one business to
another. B2B is not directed at general consumers. Advertisers place most
business advertising in professional publications or journals.

Institutional Advertising: Institutional advertising is also called Corporate


Advertising. These messages focus on establishing a corporate identity or
winning the public over to the organisation's point of view. Non-profit
Advertising: Not-for-profit organizations, such as charities, foundations,
associations, hospitals, orchestras, museums, and religious institutions,
advertise for customers, members, and volunteers, as well as for donations
and other forms of programme participation.
Public Service Advertising: Public service announcements communicate a
message on behalf of some good cause, such as stopping drunk driving or
preventing child abuse. These advertisements are usually created by
advertising professionals free of charge and the media often donate the
necessary space and time.
Definition of Advertising Effectiveness
Advertising effectiveness pertains to how well a company's advertising
accomplishes the intended. Small companies use many different statistics or
metrics to measure their advertising effectiveness. These measurements can
be used for all types of advertising, including television, radio, direct mail,
Internet and even billboard advertising. A company's advertising effectiveness
usually increases over time with many messages or exposures. But certain
advertising objectives can be realized almost immediately.
Testing Advertising Effectiveness
Small companies can test their advertising effectiveness in several different
ways. One way is to insert certain "word flags" into the advertising messages,
according to "Entrepreneur." This may be a simple phrase or word that
customers recognize and can, therefore, mention when inquiring from an

13

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags among
incan
Ernakulam
district
advertisement.
Thepeople
word flag
also be in the
form of a question. For
example, a small restaurant company may prompt
customers to ask, "What's the super special of the day?" The restaurant owner
can then track the number of people who ask about the super special
throughout the day. Those who use direct mail can insert codes on order
forms. For example, a mail order operator would know that order forms with
the "215" code came from a mailing on February 15.

Definition of Hierarchy of Effects Model


Marketing term for the sequence of five steps a consumer passes through
from the initial exposure to a product or advertisement to the purchase
decision: (1) awareness, (2) interest, (3) evaluation, (4) conviction, and (5)
purchase.
Among advertising theories, the hierarchy of effects model is
predominant. It shows clear step of how advertising works. Hierarchy of
Effects model can be explained with the help of a pyramid. First the lower
level objectives such as awareness, knowledge, or comprehension are
accomplished.
Subsequent objectives may focus on moving prospects to higher levels
in the pyramid to elicit desired behavioural responses such as associating
feelings with the brand, trial, and regular use etc. It is easier to accomplish ad
objectives located at the base of pyramid than the ones towards the top. The
percentage of prospective customers will decline as they move up the
pyramid towards the more action oriented objectives, such as regular brand
use.
Many marketers know the Hierarchy of Effects (one of several
theoretical frameworks that is useful in developing an advertisement for an
advertising campaign), but usually by a different name. Some call it AIDA,
others the demand chain, still more the purchase funnel. Whatever the name,
it invariably begins with the total potential market for your brand. This pool
of potential customers then progress through a series of stages that can
include awareness, preference, purchase and, hopefully, loyalty.
The AIDA Model

14

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags among
Ernakulam
The AIDApeople
(Attentionin- Interest
- Desiredistrict
- Action) model provides a
sophisticated illustration about the entire process of how advertising affects
consumer behaviour. Having established the basis for measuring advertising
effectiveness, the AIDA model is the groundwork for the hierarchy of effects
model. Theorizing that advertising needs "to attract attention (cognition),
maintain interest, create desire (affect), and get action (conation)", the AIDA
model proposes that consumer behaviour moves from attention to interest,
then desire and finally action.

Its first element, Attention, refers to the advertisers' efforts to gain the
attention of the consumer through effective advertisement. If consumer
response to advertising is positive, the model proceeds to the next step,
Interest, where consumer expresses interest in the particular brand. Then, in
the step of Desire, the consumer theoretically manifests an active buying
behaviour. In the last step, Action, the theoretical manifestation transforms
into actual buying behaviour.

Effects Model
was created in
1961 by Robert J Lavidge
and Gary A Steiner. This marketing communication model, suggests that there
are six steps from viewing a product advertisement to a product purchase. The
job of the advertiser is to encourage the customer to go through the six steps
and purchase the product.

Six Stages
Awareness:
If most of the target audience is unaware of the object, the
communicator's task is to build awareness, perhaps just name recognition,
with simple messages repeating the product name. Consumers must become
aware of the brand. This isn't as straightforward as it seems. Capturing
someone's attention doesn't mean they will notice the brand name. Thus, the
brand name needs to be made focal to get consumers to become aware.
Magazines are full of ads that will capture your attention, but you'll have
trouble easily seeing the brand name.
Knowledge:
The target audience might have product awareness but not know much more;
hence this stage involves creating brand knowledge. This is where
comprehension of the brand name and what it stands for become important.
What are the brand's specific appeals, its benefits? In what way is it different
than competitor's brands? Who is the target market? These are the type of
questions that must be answered if consumers are to achieve the step of brand
knowledge.
Liking:
If target members know the product, how do they feel about it? If the
audience looks unfavourably towards the product to communicator has to find
out why. If the unfavourable view is based on real problems, a

16

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags among
peoplealone
in Ernakulam
district
communication
campaigns
cannot do the job.
For product problem it is
necessary to fix the problem and only then can you communicate its renewed
quality.
Preference:
The target audience might like the product but not prefer it to others. In this
case, communicator must try to build consumer preference by promoting
quality, value, performance and other features. The communicator can check
the campaigns success by measuring audience preference before and after the
campaign.

Conviction:
A target audience might prefer a particular product but not develop a
conviction about buying it. The communicator's job is to build conviction
among the target audience.
Purchase:
Finally, some members of the target audience might have conviction but not
quite get around to making the purchase. They may wait for more information
or plan to act later. The communicator must need these consumers to take the
final step, perhaps by offering the product at a low price, offering a premium,
or letting consumers tried out. This is where consumers make a move to
actually search out information or purchase.
Thus advertising is thought to work and follow a certain sequence whereby
the Prospect is moved through a series of stages in succession from
unawareness to the purchase of the product.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY


GLOBAL SCENARIO
New innovations in clothing production, manufacture and design came during
the industrial revolution these new wheels, looms, and spinning processes
changed clothing manufacture forever. There were various stages from a
historical perspective-where the textile industry evolved from being a
domestic small-scale industry, to the status of supremacy it currently holds.
With the invention of the spinning and weaving machines in Britain, the
world textile industry witnessed a remarkable development, culminating in
the Industrial Revolution that would once again change old customs of
manufacturing. The high production of wool, cotton and silk, registered all
over the world for the past few years, brought its undeniable contributed to
the development of economy all over the world.
Clothing Kitex manufactured during the industrial revolution formed a big
part of the exports made by Great Britain .they accounted for almost 25% of
the total exports made at that time doubling in the period between 1701 and
1770. The center of the cotton industry in Great Britain was Lancashire and
the amount export from 1701 to 1770 had grown ten times. So the textile
industry also moved to Japan, India, Hong Kong and China, which eventually

19

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bagstheir

found
way topeople
being leading
textile manufacturers,
especially due to the
cheap labour force.
According to statistics, the global textile market possesses a worth of
more than $400 billion presently. In a more globalize environment, the
industry has faced high competition as well as opportunities. It is predicted
that Global textile production will grow by 25 percent between 2005 and
2015 and Asian region will largely contribute in this regard.
REGIONAL SCENARIO
The Indian luggage market is nearly one thousand crores. It is estimated to
grow at a% CAGR to INR 50bn by 2015. The franchisee model for business
is developing as the major tool for penetration and revenue generation in this
market. Companies are targeting the mid segment by offering value for
money products and high end segment by tying up with global brands.

The increase in fashion quotient of Indian consumers and rise in western


influence is driving the market. The demand for the large pool of consumers
is attracting foreign players.
The market is highly fragmented and a considerable portion of the market is
unorganized. The market for luggage in India can be subdivided into three
segments, comprising of the premium, regular and economy segment. The
current growth rate of each of these segment shows that the premium segment
is the fastest growing one-five times as fast as the economy segment, and two
and a half times as fast as the regular segment.
The organized sector is dominated at present by the Piramal fleet of
companies- VIP Industries and Aristocrat. Between them, they account for
85% of the organized sector market. Their chief competitor is theRs.41 crores
Safari Industries, whose share in the bonded market is nearly 14%. The rest of
the market is comprised of other brands like Encore, Unilite, Genius, Club
and Novex. But the entry of Samsonite India, the 60:40 joint venture between
Samsonite India and the Bombay-based Rs.28 crores Tainwala Chemicals,
would change the whole scenario. The luggage Industry can be traced into a
triangle with the MNC giant Samsonite International trying to steal the
limelight, the $50 million Indian giant VIP Industries at one of the vertices

20

and
the among
triangle completed
the $120 million
unorganized sector at the
third end. The other small companies find place somewhere in between. This
then is the Indian moulded luggage industry in a nutshell.
The luggage market can be categorized across three primary product
segments- Travel Bags: Suitcases, carryon etc. it is further categorized by the
material from which the Products are constructed, with the main categories
being hard-side, soft-side and hybrid.
Casual Bags: Backpacks, shoulder bags, wheeled duffle bags.

Business Bags: Primarily for business use: Laptop bags, satchels and brief

Going back in time, the history of Rs.10 billion Indian moulded luggage
industry can be observed in two phase's viz., the pre-1997 phase and the post1997.
Pre- 1997
During this period, the companies were more interested in volume sales rather
than satisfaction. The Indian market was dominated by both the small and big
players. It had still to witness the onslaught of the multinationals. American
Tourister, currently the second largest luggage manufacturer was there on the
scenes but, had to retreat in 1985 due to poor sales. Quality of the Indian
luggage at that time was suited mostly for the low end mass market and not
for the premium end quality conscious customer. Innovations were very few.
People had got used to the old type of luggage which had a top, bottom and a
lock to keep intact. The manufacturing process concentrated more on volumes
than on quality. And surprisingly, nobody was complaining. The reason is
lack of quality awareness among the customers. Then come the discounts war
in the 90's.

Customers were availing 50-60% discount on the maximum retail prices.


Even as the sales soared companies started to bleed. At this juncture, the
aggressive Piramal group took over Universal luggage and its brand
Aristocrat. This gave a body blow to all competition. The battle field now
comprised VIP Industries, Universal as part of the Piramal group and Safari to
name a few until the entry of world number one the $737 million Samsonite
International, in late 1996. Till then competition was restricted to sales.
Services and customer satisfaction didn't assume importance. In short, it was
more of selling than marketing.
Post- 1997
This was the period when the industry witnessed a paradigm shift in
terms of quality and service. Liberalized baggage rules, presence of
multinational and free import of luggage helped the Indian consumer to
access international quality luggage. In fact it ushered in a phase where even

22

"Impact of the advertisements of Scoobee Day school


bags
among
people
in Ernakulam
the
domestic
companies
showed
the keenness to district
compete with the foreigners
instead of following them.
Sanjeev Aga, former CEO says. "A few years back we were not aware
of our own strengths. We assumed that the best was Sansonite or Delsey and
we tried to come closer to their standards. But now we feel that we must do
better to outsmart them in the market." The company already seems to have
moved in that direction. While between 1990 and 1996 VIP had registered
only eight new designs in the next two years(1997 and 1998) the company
registered 16 design patents. The Indian consumer today has more choices
than before.
