126) How are technological devices such as digital video recorders (DVRs), TiVo, and
iPods having an effect upon advertising in the television industry?
Answer:
Television reviewers who have DVRs and/or TiVo have the ability to skip over ads. The
number of such devices in U.S. households is on the increase. Consumers are more
frequently using iPods, video on demand, and their personal computers to watch
television shows. This makes it more difficult to reach consumers through traditional
network television ads. These trends, combined with the growing number of media
outlets, have led marketers to scale back on pricey mass market campaigns and increase
spending on alternative media, such as online, mobile, and out-of-home.

into how their products are used and seen by actual consumers. Also, consumer-generated

Answer:
Some people believe that advertising is manipulative, causing people to make purchases
they would not make without having been exposed to the ads. Similarly, some criticize
advertising for encouraging people to buy products they do not need. Advertisers are
sometimes accused of deceptive practices that lead consumers to believe they will get
more value than they actually do. In addition, some advertising has been accused of being
offensive, and some advertising has been accused of perpetuating negative stereotypes of
certain groups of consumers.

important? For which type of products is media frequency more important?
Answer:
Reach is the percentage of the target market that will be exposed to the media vehicle.
This measure is particularly important for widely used products when it's important to get
the message to as many consumers as possible. Frequency is the average number of times
a person would be exposed to the message. This measure is important for products that
are complex or are targeted to relatively small markets for which multiple exposures are
needed to make an impact.

Answer:
Forward buying is the practice of purchasing and warehousing a large volume of product

manufacturer offers another discount. Diverting is similar. It involves selling the
warehoused product after the manufacturer's discount has expired at a price below the
manufacturer's regular price but high enough for the selling company to make a profit.

personal selling; the large customer is the retailer.

stores. After a tire is sold, the customer can return to any manufacturers' retail store and
the tire can be rotated on the car at no expense to the customer. Should a repair to the tire
be needed, the customer will receive a discount from the list price bill as a form of a
warranty received at the time of purchase of the tire. Identify and explain the selling
approach being implemented by this manufacturer
Answer:
Relationship selling is being implemented by the manufacturer at its dealership retail
stores. The free rotation of the tire and the discount pricing if a repair is needed are means
of developing a long-time relationship with customers who will likely return to this
manufacturer the next time they need to buy tires.
