Advertising, RIP

One fateful day comes when there will be no advertising, marketing or public relations. Why? Simple: we're killing our industry for being too successful at it.

The field of communications continues to find new ways to send sales messages to target audiences, and using these new methods to the maximum extent possible, we are strangling the effectiveness of all media. Frankly, the intrusion marketing is out of control.

Beyond counting ads. Some reports claim you adverts 10,000,000 sight in your life, but with new communication channels and new marketing techniques, that number is probably underestimated.

Sponsored data is integrated into your mail mail, email, websites, video games, online games, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and media broadcasts. The ads will air TV, radio, telephones, outdoor tables, private vehicles and transit posters. Marketing messages are sprayed on the walls with chalk sidewalks, printed on condoms, he appeared in the streets, waiting for an ambush in the baths, and beams at you from electronic displays of every shape, size, and description, including the sound emitted by the urinal cakes.

Viral ads contain messages creations. Word of mouth advertising (WOM) is expanding quickly. Channel One offers advertising to children in schools.

In stores, RFID (radio frequency identification) chips item purchases. Watching TV and their selection is being tracked. Online, you control every click. This information is available for sale, so demographic and psychographic data can be accumulated and the target consumer, which can be more accurately achieved.

Sponsormania. Phrases like this leave the radio and television: "Welcome the Nextel Halftime Report, brought to you by Toyota. "They can recite a number of sponsors for a ten-minute segment of programming that includes interviews with players and coaches wear corporate logos standing before the bright funds electronically from any other corporate logos. The way we're going, we may soon expect to hear: "Welcome to C-SPAN coverage of Congress of Halliburton, Bechtel brought to you by."

Ads per pound. Get the paper am on Sunday. Weight: 3.4 lbs. Eliminate advertising brochures, inserts, brochures, flyers, posters, mini-magazines and the classifieds section. Remaining weight news sections: 1.2 lbs. But each of these sections also contains ads. And some whole sections could be viewed as targeted ads, such as entertainment, style, Food, Real Estate and Automotive.

Most of us do not envy the hype on the film or television sections, but we are blurring the line between information and marketing in all other areas of the paper.

In an "article" in a new car were the following phrases: "... a unique charm to turn the head ... well you see, along with the utility Headroom outstanding ... exceptional sense of space ... ... Definitely a good buy. "Miles was reported that 22/city and 30/highway. Hardly impressive, however, the article concluded with the" performance gasoline attractive "as one of the characteristics of the vehicle.

I think the money changed hands to get the clean opinion. Or there was strong pressure on the writer to the entire state in a positive way so the automaker and its dealers will take place more ads.

We have become accustomed to these things in the car, film, television, kitchen, lifestyle and home sections. But now taking place in each section. In fact, it happens in all aspects of communications today.

The Pay-telling society. In advertising, marketing and public relations and editorial coverage news are available at a price. We pay the "-to-say" society.

Consider the following: * They were interviewed on television: time has been bought and paid for. * That gay television show summary of the best kitchen appliances: the products have been "placed" in the program (only like clothes, cars, restaurants, cameras, televisions, furniture, tableware and other products have been placed in films and television programming). * Which model / actress / piece / entrepreneur on the cover of the magazine: the space has been sold according to a rate card, like an ad. * That "report" in government support of education: the mock documentary was written, produced and distributed by people who want to form their opinion.

You may be reading this on a website that places ads in the text and / or links to ads embedded in editorial content, pending entrusted to roll your cursor over them.

If you're reading this in a magazine, an RFID may be inside. (For that matter, you may RFIDs in the lining of his jacket, instead, in his pants jeans, or pack of gum in his pocket.)

Truth: For Sale. I once ghostwrote an article for a coalition of businesses that products made of polystyrene. Its industry is facing problems in the area of waste that needed to have an optimistic review, but the story of how business is dedicated to recycling. Thus be paid three thousand dollars to present their case.

From that came with reams of entry and interviews, The article was full of facts and figures on the miracles of their recycling process, the temptingly high rate of reuse of products that the industry could result in their manufacturing processes, and so on.

What was not in the article was a tiny, tiny fact: there was no means of collecting used products so that none of this recycling take place. That minor detail denied the underlying question of propaganda. Oops, I mean informative editorial piece.

With the inconsistencies of Jayson Blair and Judith Miller was unsure of the print media. These doubts grew after learning that a prostitute was allowed to enter the press corps for the White House softball questions could LOB President Press Secretary.

The main problem with all the "ad" placements, up stories, and lying is obvious. What is left for anyone to believe? However, becoming an ad, people will start to move away from advertising messages in greater numbers.

The NASCARizing of Everything. We've all seen and mocked the maze of logos on NASCAR vehicles, but now other sports are mulling the idea of ads in uniforms and equipment. Horse racing, the NBA, all sports are considered.

The digital age has already enabled the ads that are placed where in the advertisements do not really exist. For example, there are constantly changing billboards behind the batter in baseball games on television. That would distract the pitcher, therefore not appear in real life, only to the TV screen.

There is a new magazine called "advertising Others", dedicated to new forms intrusion of advertising. That's where I read about digital outdoor billboards that regard, the FM station playing in your car and change the display to match demographic choices that align with your selection of programming.

Hypersonic American Technology Corporation, sound system and audio Holosonics 'Spotlight are perfecting the ability to direct audio messages to people passing by. For example, based on the RFID chip on their purchases, each person in a row in the case is heard a different ad. (Full disclosure: there's a message on the ATC system HSS in the song "Paranormal Radio" in my album ELECTRO balance of payments.)

AdverInfoEduTainment. When I wrote about the various types of advertising messages were being placed inside almost all activities in the universe, I finished the article with some predictions that many people find bizarre, including:

• Debit card scanners in TV sets, so you can order a commercial with the rotation of your remote.
• Barcodes in songs, so you can download from iTunes or Rhapsody Real swiping your XM or Sirius player with your Visa or MasterCard.
• Credit cards built into wristwatches.
• Interactive advertising, where you can see the star in a five-minute escape from reality.
• Ad holographic projections of postage stamps, car and the keys home, magazine covers, etc.
• Microchips embedded under the skin, so being a TV receiver, radio, satellite TV, telephone and system global positioning signals

I was interviewed on many radio morning about how Big Brother could take over all forms of communication. This made for the drive-time humor jokes, but what some people miss on my list of predictions was the fact that each of them had come true by the time the article was published. They are all being used in the market due to high costs, but the ads of its existence has been made.

Ad Utility Industry. Without advertising, marketing or public relations, communication is vital frustrated and sales suffer. The payroll of the company cut and jobs are lost. Industries such as manufacturing, packaging, transport and retail are all hurt. Without us, those parts of the economy will evaporate like a puddle of water in the sun baked concrete.

So what should we do? First, the very height of what is happening. It justifies the development of things by names pompous "and" branded entertainment, "" product integration "," teamwork street "" buzz marketing, "" Journalism positioned, "" guaranteed placement "and the like. But when faced with intrusive technology to your marketing messages, ask yourself if you want to be assaulted by it. Let's treat consumers like someone we know. We will treat them with respect instead of as a brand, a scapegoat, a lout, or a flock of sheep.

Secondly, we try to emphasize the wit, taste, and genuine humor advertising and public relations we create?

We, the advertisers are in the best of the guests at the homes of individuals or public space. At worst, Party Crashers or are unwanted intruders. And we are with all that email overload.

Imagine if we behave this way in our daily life:

"Hi, Shirley! My good morning message is brought to you by Henderson hardware for all your needs for home improvement."

"Thanks, Jim! My Have-A Nice Day-response Magnum courtesy magnificence, your best option for a complete line of lighting fixtures. Come magnificence Magnum and see the light. "

Before it's too late, I hope you all see the light.
