Children?s Advertising, 2004.
Examines how commercials negatively affect children who view television on a regular basis.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that television viewing by children should be greatly restricted, not only because of the negative affects of watching television in general, but also because the advertising media is actively seeking ways to influence children. The paper examines various aspects of advertising aimed at children, including brand loyalty, in-school programming, and food advertising. It also touches on violence and sex-role stereotyping.
From the Paper
"According to some research, while psychology often provides valuable insights about controlling obesity, psychologists are also often on the payroll of the junk food advertisers, informing those advertisers about the best way to reach a child?s mind with the message they intend to get across. In addition to that, there is also the ?nag factor,? in which children are encouraged to bug their parents until they get what they have just been convinced they want, disrupting family dynamics in the process. (Cohn, 13) It could be argued that disrupted family dynamics would also lead to additional work for psychologists. And it could be argued that none of this serves the children very well at all. Of course, one might wonder who needs parents or psychologists when one has Ronald McDonald."

Product Placement, 2004.
A look at the phenomenon of advertisement through product placement
1,024 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 21.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how strategic product placement is, at least, a half-century-long advertising industry practice that evolved alongside the 20th century motion picture industry. In particular, it looks at how the benefits to advertising through strategic product placement are so numerous that it is almost curious the advertising industry has not embraced and exploited it even more aggressively than it has. It also discusses the ethical implications.
Outline
Background and History
The Benefit to Advertisers
Ethical Analysis
From the Paper
"Critics maintain that product placement crosses the line demarcating ethical and unethical advertising. According to the Center for the Study of Commercialism, product placement in movies results in an advertisement saturation level that is detrimental to the authenticity and artistic integrity of the feature film industry that warrants proper referencing within the credits for honesty sake (Govani, 1995). On examination, ethical objections to advertising through product placement seem to violate no ethical principle, at least none that is at all distinguishable from those that can be lodged equally against traditional forms of advertisement."

Abstract
This paper examines Delta Airlines's financial and marketing goals and notes how the financial objectives are closely linked to the marketing goals. The paper looks at how Delta focuses on the needs and wants of its customers, as well as how it has been financially affected by the September 11 terrorist attacks. The paper also discusses the areas that Delta intends to target for marketing purposes and where it faces the greatest competition.
From the Paper
"The company?s financial objectives and goals are closely linked to its marketing plan. Vicki Escarra, Chief Marketing Officer of Delta Airlines says that the company?s singular dedication to the needs and wants of consumers has allowed Delta to survive and thrive in the most difficult market environments (Morris, 2002). One event that shook Delta and the rest of the airlines was the terrorist activities of September 11th. Increased expenses due to security training, cockpit door reinforcement, and insurance costs dramatically altered the airline?s fixed overhead costs."

Promotion for Nike's "Shox iD" Shoe, 2004.
Analysis of Nike's advertising and marketing approach for its "Shox iD" shoe.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the manner in which Nike has chosen to promote its "Shox iD" shoe. The paper analyzes Nike's Internet marketing strategy for the shoe, the message Nike tries to convey about the shoe, and how Nike continues to capitalize on its image as a great shoe company.
From the Paper
"However, in terms of promotions, Nike still is masterful in conveying a strong message to a targeted segment of the running shoe market as well as eking out, if not dominance, then a still secure area of the sports apparel industry. One recently promoted shoe of great importance to Nike is that of the new Nike Shox iD running shoe. The Nike Shox iD running shoe has not been marketed in a general fashion, however, on television, Internet, and the print media in the same diffuse manner as, for instance, the Air Jordans of the past. This was because many non-basketball players wore Air Jordans to convey their solidarity with the great basketball player and themselves as his great fans."

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief description of Hershey's new chocolate product, "Swoops", then discusses Hershey's current market position, and goes on to on to analyze the specific nature of the role envisaged for "Swoops" TM within the company?s portfolio of brands.
From the Paper
"New Product Development: The process of idea generation and screening at Hershey?s, as mentioned earlier, takes place within the ambit of its IBI or fact-based approach to decision making, as well as within the context of the corporate goals of driving profitable core growth through fuelled but reallocated brand spending, captured price realization, and building a competitively advantaged business. In other words, Hershey?s believes that its transformational growth opportunities lies in leveraging its existing core competencies and competitive advantages in category-defining iconic brands such as Hershey?s milk chocolate, Reese?s peanut butter, Almond Joy coconut, and York mint. Thus, the direction for new product idea generation and screening at Hershey?s is that all concepts must meet the preceding criteria besides ensuring the fulfillment of consumer needs for taste, convenience and/or better-for-you (healthier) products (Lenny, Feb. 2004). To sum up so far, new product development in Hershey?s must meet the criteria of affordability; captured price realization; leveraging of core competencies and existing competitive advantages in iconic brands; fulfillment of consumer needs for taste, convenience, and better-for-you products; and identification of opportunities to further grow Hershey?s share of the confectionery and overall snack market."

Marketing plays a very important role in success of an organization and the profits that can be obtained over time. No matter how good or useful the product, if the consumer is not aware of the product or does not know applications of the product, it is inadequate."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The practice is so common that it is often spoofed. In the 1992 movie Wayne's World, the underground cable show depicted spoofs product placement with a cheesy scene that shows a Pizza Hut box that cuts away to a Nupril pills backdrop, as the main character, Wayne notes "I will not bow to any corporate sponsor". Josie and the Pussycats (2001) took the parody of product placement to a new level as it featured over 25 product placements in a two-minute trailer."

The Powers of Advertising and its Negative Effects on the Consumers, 2004.
Explores the evolving view of the purpose of marketing activities.

Abstract
This research paper attempts to show that advertising and marketing are not quantifiable sciences like the physical sciences where certain results can be expected after inputs of a certain amount have been put in. The paper shows that marketing is a social science, which changes a lot with society and is currently going through a phase of transition due the new information technologies. Furthermore, the paper demonstrates that the job of advertising is to pass on the information about products and services to consumers, and this method itself is undergoing change due to the changing influences of the Internet. This new medium gives the consumers many options, and the possibility of passing on misinformation to them in a convincing manner is becoming limited.

The Development of New Media
From the Paper
"Modernization has also led to a situation where the ownership of media is getting fragmented, and the progress of the information from the marketing organization to the consumer is no longer passing through clear stages. There are now cases where the information is going directly from the marketing organization to the consumer, and in that case, it is difficult to classify it strictly as advertising. The role of the marketing organization is now the most predominant in the entire process of advertising in whatever form it may be. The negative effects, whatever they may be is thus the responsibility of the marketing organizations as they are the most powerful in the triumvirate of the marketing organization, advertising agency and the media owner."

Although its roots can be traced back to the 1960s, marketing age is believed to have come of age only in the 1990s, thanks to extensive research on the subject carried out in the decade before. (Murphy, 111). Several topics make up the fabric of marketing ethics ? product quality, safety and liability, fairness in pricing, honesty in advertising and selling, privacy in internet database and marketing. According to Kotler, in recent years, people have started questioning the value of marketing concept, when the world is faced with environmental degradation, resource shortages, hunger and poverty and neglected social services."

Abstract
This paper on the cultural differences in marketing trends compares and contrasts the marketing trends in the United States, China, and Taiwan. This paper also explains why culture plays such a huge role in each country?s marketing techniques. An illustration of the consumer behavior with respect to the most popular products being sold is also given. This paper also highlights relevant quotes to support its claim.
From the Paper
"Trends of marketing vary from country to country and are greatly influenced by that country?s culture. Good marketing decisions requires the planning and coordination of marketing resources and the integration of the marketing mix to achieve a desired result in markets selected for targeting by the business. The business?s offers are tailored through marketing decisions in terms of product line, place, pricing elements and sales promotions to match the perceptions of value of its target market. In some ways business markets are similar to consumer markets since they both involve people who assume buying roles and make purchase decisions to satisfy needs. Both business markets and consumer markets are greatly influenced by cultural trends. Business marketers also need to remember that women now account for a significant share of purchase decision-makers."
