Mission Statement
What is a Mission Statement?
• Is a summary of the aims and values of a
company, organization, or individual to
their consumers.

company to the customer
Consider and Think
1. Think of a mission statement as a cross
between a slogan and an executive
summary
2. It should tell your company story and ideals
in less than 30 seconds (often much shorter
even)
3. Answer: Who are you? Why do you exist?
Who do you serve? What’s your
purpose?

Goals of Advertising
1. Getting Attention
• One short-term goal and objective in advertising is
getting people's attention.
– Use highly readable print in your ads.
– Color, diagrams and pictures can also attract the
attention of users, particularly if they are highly relevant.
– One of the best ways to attract attention in print
advertising is to use a strong headline. Make a
statement that attracts the right type of reader, and
include at least one benefit in the heading to pull the
reader into the ad
– Use sounds and jingles to attract attention in your radio
and television ads.
2. Prompting Immediate Action
• Your print and other types of advertising
must also prompt people to act
immediately.
– Include a coupon in your ad to get people
to try your product at the store. Include a
deadline on your coupon so people know
the offer is only good for a short time period.
– Offer a free trial of your product, or provide
something free along with the product.
– Offer multiple products for the price of one.
Another strategy is to state that you have a
limited supply of products available.
3. Replacing Lost Customers
• Small companies use advertising to
replace lost customers. Your customers
may switch brands, move away, or
die, which is why advertising on a
continuous basis is imperative.
– Look for new ways to advertise, including
social media sites like Twitter and
Facebook.
4. Building Sales and Profits
• The key to building sales and profits is
to gradually increase your advertising
over time. Many small companies
budget their advertising by allocating
a certain percentage of sales toward
it
5. Building Brand Awareness
• Small companies also advertise to build
brand awareness, which is when people
know a particular brand is yours. Brand
awareness is usually calculated as a
percentage.
– For example, if 1,000 people out of 10,000 in a
market can identify your brand, your brand
awareness is 10 percent.
– Your primary objective in building brand
awareness is to make people think of your
brand first when they are ready to purchase.
What to include in your
Advertisement
Use clear fonts
Positive and bight primary colours
Positive pictures
“Limited time offer” coupons
Consider using twitter, facebook,
brochures, flyers, an ad in a magazine
• Think: What can I include in my
advertisement to make people remember
my company and my product?
