The third step is developing advertising strategy

Advertising strategy consists of two major elements:

The fourth step is evaluating advertising effectiveness

Communication effects Sales and profits effects

 The communication effects

Before the advertisement is placed, the advertiser can show it to consumers, ask how they like it, and measure message recall or attitude changes resulting from it. After the advertisement is run, the advertiser can measure how the ad affected consumer recall or product awareness, knowledge, and preference.

 Sales and profits effects

One way to measure the sales and profits effects of ad is to compare past sales and profits with past advertising expenditures.

Another way is through experiments. For example, to test the effects of different advertising spending levels. More complex experiments could be designed to include other variables, such as differences in the ads pr media used.
