Continuity refers to a continuous pattern of advertising, which may mean every day, every week, or every
month. The key is that a regular (continuous) pattern is developed without gaps or non advertising periods.
Such strategies might be used for advertising for food products, laundry detergents or other products
consumed on an ongoing basis without regards for seasonality.
Advantage
Serves as a constant reminder to the consumer
Covers the entire buying cycle
Allows for media priorities (quantity discounts, preferred locations)
Disadvantage
Higher costs
Potential for overexposure
Limited media allocation possible
FLIGHTING
Employs a less regular schedule, with intermittent periods of advertising and non advertising. At
sometime periods there are heavier promotional expenditures and at others there may be no
advertising. For example, many banks spend no money on advertising in the summer but maintain
advertising throughout the rest of the year. Snow skies are advertised heavily between October and
April less in May, August and September and not at all in June and July.
Advantage
Cost efficiency of advertising only during purchase cycles
May allow for inclusion of more than one medium or vehicle with limited budgets
Disadvantage
Weighting may offer more exposure and advantage over competitors
Vulnerability to competitive efforts during nonscheduled periods
PULSING
Pulsing is actually a combination of the first two methods. In a pulsing strategy, continuity is
maintained, but at certain times promotional efforts are stepped up. In the beer industry,
advertising continues throughout the year but may increase at holiday period such as Memorial
day, Labor day, or the fourth of July. The scheduling strategy depends on the objectives,
buying cycles, and budgets among other factors.
Advantage
All of the same as the previous two methods
Disadvantage
Not require for seasonal products (or other cyclical products)
COMPUTER IN MEDIA SELECTION
AND SCHEDULING
Programmatic advertising relies on computers to match messages and audiences in real-time
based on complex algorithms of what advertisers are willing to pay and content providers are
willing to sell. Even when not relying on programmatic, most planner use to determine
optimized buys of traditional media. Telmar’s software suited is designed to help media
planners, buyers, research analysts and sellers work more efficiently and make better
judgments in the evaluations or sales process. The software allows advertising executives to
estimate the effectiveness of multifaceted marketing plans that use various combinations of
