  • Types of Media Options
    Types of Media Options Print Media: Newspapers and Magazines Magazines and newspapers are an important part of our lives. For many consumers, newspapers are their primary source of product information. They would not think of going shopping without checking to see who is having a sale or clipping coupons from the weekly food section or Sunday inserts. Many people read a number of different magazines each week or month to become better informed, or simply entertained. Individuals employed in various occupations rely on business magazines to keep them updated about trends and developments in their industries as well as in business in general. While most of us are excessively involved with the print media, it is important to keep in mind that only few newspapers or magazines could survive without the support of advertising revenue. The Role of Newspapers and Magazines The role of newspapers and magazines in the advertiser’s media differs from that of the broadcast media because they allow the presentation of detailed information that can be processed at the reader’s own pace. The print media are not intrusive, like radio and TV, and they generally require some effort on the part of the reader for the advertising message to have an impact. For this reason, newspapers and magazines are often referred to as “high involvement media”. Newspapers are received in nearly two-thirds of Indian households daily. Most magazines, however, reach a very selective audience. Like radio, they can be valuable in reaching specific types of consumers and market segments. While both magazines and newspapers are print media, the advantages and disadvantages of the two are quite different, as are the types of advertising each attracts.

It is, however, typical of its time and very likely made perfect sense to its original audience. In the 1930s, in the middle of the Great Depres- sion, anxiety about losing one’s husband—and thus one’s economic well-being—to divorce was not unfounded. Targeted to a new generation of stay-at-home housewives anxious about their exclusion from the modern world of their hus- bands, during a period when losing one’s source of income could mean abject poverty or worse, in a society where daily bathing was still rare but where self-doubt about personal hygiene was on the rise, such an ad may have pushed just the right buttons.

  • A Consumer Behavioral Approach to Resale Price Maintenance
    VIRGINIA LAW & BUSINESS REVIEW VOLUME 12 FALL 2017 NUMBER 1 A CONSUMER BEHAVIORAL APPROACH TO RESALE PRICE MAINTENANCE Thomas K. Cheng† ABSTRACT This Article reexamines the various pro-competitive justifications and theories of harm for resale price maintenance (“RPM”), one of the most controversial practices in antitrust law. It argues that the existing literature overlooks three important issues regarding RPM, namely, the kind of retail service invoked in a justification, the kind of retailer at issue, and the prevailing model of consumer behavior. All three issues have important implications for the plausibility and validity of the various justifications and theories of harm for RPM. It argues that most of the existing literature presumes the inter-brand primacy model of consumer behavior. Once this model is not applicable, much of the prevailing analysis breaks down and the legality of RPM needs to be reconsidered. In particular, this Article demonstrates that many of the accepted justifications for RPM are of doubtful validity or are only valid under limited circumstances. This lends support to a more hostile view of RPM. I. INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................... 2 II.

Personal selling is a highly distinctive method of promotion, and makes use of oral presentation in conversation with existing and potential customers, for the purpose of making a sale. It is one of the oldest methods of business promotion. The contributions made by personal selling in making the promotion function more effective have earned the distinction of being the most reliable promotion method. Though, it is the most expensive method of promotion, yet we see an increasing number of firms making use of it, and a good number of them realise that they cannot, perhaps, live without it.
