The Role of Advertising in Price Elasticity
Brands that spend more on advertising have a lower price elasticity, meaning the drop in sales when they increase prices is less significant.
Opportunities for Challenger Brands
Inflationary times create an opportunity for challenger brands as consumers are more likely to shop around and consider alternatives. By offering a competitive price and captivating advertising, challenger brands can attract new customers.
Media Mix for Challenger Brands
Challenger brands tend to have a higher return on investment when they prioritize digital channels such as PPC and social media. Allocating a higher percentage of the budget to activation and a smaller percentage to traditional media is effective.
Creative Best Practices in Digital Advertising
Capturing attention in digital advertising requires understanding the attention problem. Starting with an emotional high, delivering multiple emotional kicks, and intriguing viewers in the first few seconds are key strategies for better engagement and effectiveness.
