decision. Once a firm chooses a marketing channel, it must

be usefully remain for a substantial period. Most producerssell their goods through wholesalers, retailers or agents,

which forms a part of a marketing channel. They must

choose the chipset channel because it is very risky.

There are two types of channel of distribution channel

price as much as possible as low so that middle class and

poor class people can also purchase their product.

This company has three objectives in price wise:-

product, quality and leadership. This company gets success

in all these objectives.

The price policy of Videocon is formulated keeping in

my mind he fact that majority of Videocon consumers belong to upper class and upper middle class family.

Therefore, the pricing policy if formulated in such a way

that it is affordable by all classes of people and it not a

burden on their income. The top management of the

company formulates all policies.

OBJECDTIVE OF ADVERTISEMENT

It is said that advertisement is nothing but a way ofsharing something effectively, i.e. to say about the product,its features, significant etc. so that consumer become ready

and willing to purchase the product. The objectives of

advertisement are listed under following heads;

Preparing Ground For New Product:-It is natural that new product needs

advertisement because potential customers have never used

such product earlier. Therefore, advertisement prepares a

ground for that product.

Creation of Demand:-It is universally accepted fact that

advertisement has always been able to generate and createdemand to the largest extant and it is one of the prime

objects.

Reminding Customers:-Advertisement is having immersed capacity

to remind the customers and memorized him about the

product and its other features. Now a day, in a cutthroatcompetition customer is always flooded with many products

and innumerable players. Advertisement creates import on

his mind hence, it is necessary that our advertisement gets

repeated and reminds him so that it will ultimately be able

to enhance the demand for our goods, services and ideas.

39


40/84


Facing Competition;-Competition exist in all types of business and

no better weapon can be used in this competition batterother than advertisement. So, in order to inform and pursued

our potential and existing customers in his cutthroat

competition. Advertisement is always important weapon.

Enhancing Reputation:-It is wrongly believed that advertisement is

necessary only in starting period of product butadvertisement is continues process. Advertisement that is

prepared smartly and efficiently and in a proper systemwithy up to date change can create and generate the

goodwill of the company.

Changing Attitude and Belief of the Customers:-It is fact that prime objective of all

advertising is to change habits and mind set of customers.

So a well prepared advertisement considering innumerable

factors and eliminate in a specified manner can help to

change the attitude and belief f the customers group in largeand individually.

In India, Videocon group of company is the marketleader in the electronic field and the market share of each

product is also high, the main objective of advertisement of

more brand usage.

40


41/84


42/84


Impersonality :-

Advertising cannot be as compel as accompany

sales representative. The audience does not feel obligated topay attention or responded. Advertisement is able to carry

on only monologue, not a dialogue, with the audience.

INTRODUCTION

After determining advertising objective, the companycan proceed to establish its advertisement budget for eachproduct or for all products. The role of advertising is to

increase the products demand curve. The company wants to

spend the amount required to achieve the sales good. But

how does it know that it is spending the right amount ?

In advertising the principle instrument used inperforming these functions is the advertisement budget. In a

sense, the entire administrative process reviewing past

operation, controlling on going operation and planning a

head center on the budget. Budgeting encourages previousplanning. It helps to keep expenditure with in predetermined

limits.

44


45/84


AREAS OF DECISION

An advertising budget encompasses two areas ofdecisions,

The total amount of rupees to be spend for

advertisement is termed as appropriation.

Now these rupees will be spend.

Videocon group of companies has spend Rs. 38 Cr.And today it has reached to 5000 Cr. Approximately in

advertisement media. By now the company had estimated

Rs. 565 Cr. Approximately for this purpose, which includes

new product launching, creation of new market and increase

in market of each product, which they produce.

Therefore, we may say that Videocon take good stepand spend money at high level to advertise, its product and

handle if properly.

45


46/84


FACTORS AFFECTING ADVERTISINGBUDGET

Generally, the following factors must be considered by

most of the companies while preparing the advertising

budget.

Stage in Product Life Cycle :- New product typically receive large

advertising budget to build awareness and to gain consumertrail. Established brands usually supported with Lowe

budget as ration to sales.

Market Share and Consumer Base :-High market share brands usually require

less advertising expenditure as percentage of sales to

maintain their share. To build share by increasing marketmix or market share require large advertisement budget.

Competition and Cluster :-In a market, with a large number of

competition and high advertisement spending a brand must

advertise more heavily to the heard above the noise not

directly competitive to the brand creates a need for heavieradvertising.

Advertising Frequency :-The number of repetitions needed to put

across the brands message to consumers also determines

the advertisement budget.

46


47/84


Product Substitutability :-Brands in a commodity clad require heavy

advertising to establish a differential image. Advertisementis also important when brand can offer unique physical

benefits or feature.

Size of Budget:-Amount of money to be spend in

advertisement is of vital concern to the company and to the

agency chosen to serve the company.

Above noted all factors are taken in to consideration byadvertisement department of Videocon. But in present stage

of competition in India for electronic goods they give more

weight age to competition and cluster, so they advertise its

product more frequently and prepare budget on that ground.

47


48/84


ADMINISTRATION AND CONTROL

A successful budget system requires constant andcareful check on all expenditures; care must be taken to seethat advertisement practice does not run counter to the plans

worked out carefully and systematically and incorporated

into the budget. This will require periodic checking of

expenditure especially for such items as stores, display

special sampling campaigns, conversion expenditure and

similar items that are not subject to specific contracts.

In Videocon complete and systematic record are kept.

Such records consist of total amount appropriated for

advertisement and complete detail and listing of how this isto be expended. Not only the amount for the anticipated

expenditures for each items are also recorded.

In Videocon control and administration budgets

maintain by proper checking of sales result by products and

by sells territories. Based on these cheeks the budget is

changed to harmonized will the philosophy, which directed

its creation.

0% INTEREST

It is well known act that the problem of money arises.Is prevailing everywhere. In addition, in this trend thedemand and wants o the customers are ulti9mate when one

demand is satisfy the other demand is emerges.

The most common demand of most of the customer is

about electronics and home appliances.

For easy consumption of desired product by customers.

The Videocon has given very attractive scheme i.e. to

provide its product in the installment basis at 0% interest.

For these purpose, total management decided the price

of the product, which are given on the installment basis at

determine whether an advertisement is communication

Videocon is only interested in finding our whether they

are over spending or under spending on advertising. To last

research, they found that they are using more TVadvertisement as they previously used.

Electronics World, Videocon is used to advertising
