Demand factor - Corporate advertising

21.11.2014

Corporate advertising effects on market very long period of time, but does not effect on sales immediately. Also, corporate advertising has a strong cumulative effect, so the strategy of investments should be planned for all 5 periods. Effect on sales is different for each market. The greatest effect will be in the Internet. EU and Nafta have the same effect, but is less than in the Internet.

It is important to remember that the effect of your investment comes after the period. If you spent 99 on corporate advertising in the Internet in 1 period, effect on sales you will get only in 2 period. That is why spending money on corporate advertising in the 5 period does not make sense, it would not effect on market at all.

Vertical - relative market change compared with 1 period. Horizontally - absolute value of corporate advertising. Corporate advertising affects the demand in the 1 period only in Internet, but not significantly.

Corporate advertising has a strong cumulative effect, which is equal to 60% of previous investments. The difference between sales in EU and Nafta can be calculated by the formula:

  1. 2 period - (80-50) * 0.0014
  2. 3 period - (80-50) * 0.0014 + (80-50) * 0.0014 * 0.6
  3. 4 period - (80-50) * 0.0014 + (80-50) * 0.0014 * 0.6 + (80-50) * 0.0014 * 0.6 * 0.6
