Inform (I): When a new product or service enters the market, advertising and promotional messages are used to inform consumers about it. These messages are designed to spark interest. Consumers usually will not buy a product or service until they understand the purpose of the product and the benefits it offers. Advertising may be used to communicate product benefits such as safety, nutritional value, fuel efficiency, superior quality, and others. Persuade (P): After the target market has a general awareness of the product, advertising and promotional communication is used to persuade consumers to take action and buy the product or use the service. A business will use advertisements and promotions to identify competitive advantages in an attempt to persuade consumers to buy its product or to switch brands. To be most effective, marketers must know which product benefits are most appealing to their target market. Advertisements that emphasize relevant benefits are more persuasive.
