Achieving Advertising
Objectives
1. Three-exposure hypothesis
• Intrusion value
• Takes a minimum of three exposures for an
ad to be effective
• Effective frequency – number of times that
one must be exposed to message to achieve
its objective
• Effective reach - % of target market that
must be exposed to ad to achieve its
objective
Achieving Advertising

2. Recency theory
• Effective the closer to a purchase
• States that consumers use
selective retention when they
consider ads.
• Advertising is a waste of money
when intended market is not
reached
