Introduction

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Background of the study

Advertising is a form of communication used to encourage or persuade

the listeners, sometimes a specific group of people, to continue or take some

new action. The purpose of advertising may also be to measure attitudes that a

company is viable or successful. Although there is no consensus in literature

when it comes to a unique definition of integrated marketing communications, this

concept includes combining promotional tools, planned, as well as unplanned

messages in order to achieve their maximum influence (Mudzanani, 2015).

According to (Holm, 2006).Due to the increase in competition in almost all

industries, the importance of marketing communication for organizations keeps

rising, for both corporate, non-profit and public sectors, especially for an integrated

approach in planning and realizing activities. Radio stations generally run their

advertising in sets, scattered throughout the broadcasting hour. Radio

commercials hold a marginal share among the main media categories, for example

newspaper and television.

There definitely an emphasis on marketing toward seniors, and mindful of

discussing it in an open-minded way like a radio advertisement. There’s also

advertising about enhancing mobility, reducing pain, and improving a person’s

ability to maintain functional independence when walking. Those seem to be the

main areas where tend to get asked for input regarding vitamin supplements and

advertisers provide the details of the product(Sharma and Singh,2009).The

increased audience`s interest allows advertisers to provide a lot of copy details in

their Advertisement.

Local advertisers love radio especially among senior citizen, a product or

service is advertised to create awareness in the minds of potential buyers and to

create a consciousness among the product. An ideal advertising message should

command and draw attention, hold the interest, arouse desire for possession of

the product, and elicit action (Gupta,2012).

Radio advertising is basically a type of advertisement that appears on radio

and that are paid to promote products, The concept is like television, but with

words, music, and sounds without the use of visual images and convenient from

any transit advertisement . The most common types of transit advertising are- car

cards, exterior displays, delivery vans, bus panels, trams and station posters. They

are fairly sighted by the commuters and can be easily read (Sharma and Singh,

2009).

The radio advertising, It reaches the right people, in the right numbers at

the right time. Popularity of advertisement is to informing as well as influencing the

general public to buy a product or services through visual or oral messages. A

product or service is advertised to create awareness in the minds of potential

related this study of Popularity of radio advertising on Food Supplement among

Senior citizen.

Advertisement is to give awareness and informing as well as influencing

the general public to buy a certain product and recognize as well through

listening or messages. A product is advertised to create awareness in the minds

of potential buyers through various advertising medium such as any

advertisement. It`s a promotional activity for marketing a commodity. In the

present day world of mass production and distribution, advertising serves as a

powerful tool in the marketing process. Advertising is used for communicating

business information to the present and prospective customers. It usually

provides information about the advertising firm, its product qualities, place of

availability etc. (Ryder,2006) elaborates the concept and cases of making

advertising work.

(Bojanna and Murthy, 2007) examines the importance of effective aspects

of advertising and communication. The help of any radio advertised with various

advertising tools as well as how they could be effectively for optimum result.

Radio advertising is basically a type of advertisement that appears on radio and

that are paid placements to promote products, services, or events. The idea is
like television, but with words, music, and sounds without the use of visual

images.

Providing Information

In fact, many of listeners are also online and radio can be a great way to get

people to go to your website. Production of radio ads is relatively low-cost and fast.

The script should be catchy and memorable; there should be a clear call to action

and a good tag line or jingle. Air time can usually be bought in cost-effective

packages and most radio stations offer all-in deals, which include to inform

potential consumers about the products of the advertiser and to provide necessary

information so that they should be able to compare them with products of the

competition, to later create awareness in potential consumers that these

products are adequate for purchasing and to finally lead to a purchase in favour

of the product which is being

advertised (Vlastelica, 2007).

(Shimp 2007). Media strategy must be coordinated with marketing

strategy and with others aspects of advertising strategy. A media strategy to

inform customers about promo and sales through Radio, Selection of advertising

media and vehicles is one of the most important and complicated of all marketing

communications decisions, Advertising is the means of informing as well as

influencing the general public to buy a product or services through visual or oral

messages

Entertaining
 It's simply the uses of entertainment to convey or to convince a product

message. One of the core aspects of entertainment is to advertise and to create

awareness for the senior. Advertising is a way of communication to encourage an

audience for making purchase decision about a product or service and conveying

information to viewers. (Sauls and Greer, 2007) The localized commercials on

radio keep consumers also aware about the market movements.

(Ahmed & Ashfaq, 2013). Advertising is usually a paid form of exposure or

promotion by some sponsor that reaches through various traditional media such

as television, newspaper, commercial radio advertisement, magazine mail,

outdoor advertising or modern media such as blogs, websites and text

messages. When it comes to entertainment, however, consumers feel

enjoyment, unlike other marketers who prioritize aspects like market originality or

brand identity, entertainment show runners, writers and creators are focused

more on the creative element of entertainment value alone, and that makes all

the difference in crafting a short storytelling.

(Mandan, Hossein and Furuzandeh, 2013) Entertainment has been one of

the primary criteria for creating an advertisement. Entertainment is used as a way

to gain attention of customers and to give interesting by entertaining the listeners

are more likely to be remembered by the senior rather than a boring

Advertisement. Therefore, it can be said that entertainment increases the

effectiveness of advertising, that is why many companies are investing a lot of

money to make advertise their product.

Promotional

According to (Gupta,2012) It`s effectiveness, an ideal advertising

message should command and draw attention, hold the interest, arouse desire

for possession of the product, and elicit action

In large shopping malls spend money for advertise of their product

promotional activities. With regard to specific advertising options like developing

appropriate communication mix and creating messages, the most widely are

used promotional elements were found to be radio advertising. As retailing firms

face a more intensely competitive environment, the need for effective marketing

and promotion is increasingly felt to stimulate consumers of all segments

(Warnaby et al, 2005).

(Beattie and Shovelton, 2005) Radio advertisements which have more

than one voice induce higher emotions as message is split between voice and

language which drives significant differences in communicative effectiveness.

The emotional content of a retail promotion advertisement is a stronger predictor

of buying behavior reflected in message recall rate among audience and giving

feedback for advertisement.

Nowadays, advertisers often use the appeal in advertising to draw

attention of consumers on the possible danger they are exposed to and to give a

recommendation on how to avoid this danger, and to motivate consumers to

release themselves of the fear by using the advertised product (Shimp,2008)

Depending on the type of the advertised product, there are two forms of fear

appeals that are used in advertising: social disapproval and physical danger.

Theoretical and Conceptual framework

Advertising appeals are part of a creative strategy for giving awareness for

the consumers, they could be used as a basis of a certain advertised message in

order to attract attention of potential consumers, to efficiently influence their

awareness, beliefs and attitude towards the advertised product, and

consequentially, the purchase intention.

Providing Information, Entertaining, Promotional are the level of

advertising and what the listener preferences about of their perspective products.

(Sharma and Sing 2006) emphasize that the choice of an adequate appeal is one

of the most significant decisions for a creative strategy of advertising.

While defining appeals (Belch and Belch 2004) maintain that appeals in

advertising refer to the approach used to draw the consumer’s attention or/and to

influence the feelings they have for the product. Stated that appeal in advertising

are applied the three level on give Providing Information, Entertaining,

Promotional in this of level in advertisement can create an interest with the

recipient of the advertising message and about the advertised object.

The choice and the application of the marketing appeal depends on the

advertising company, the type of the product, the set advertising goals, target

groups and also of the way of advertising of the competitors and media which will

carry out the advertising (Leonidou and Leonidou, 2009).
