Five Ms of Advertising


If you want to make a very imperative and effective advertisement, you need to keep in consideration the five M’s of advertising. These five elements can help really help make a feasible yet impactful advertisement. So, the first and the foremost element that comes up is “Mission. A mission or a strong cause is very important in an advertisement. The advertisement you create should depict its real reason and basis for publicising it in generic terms. It should be very clear from the ad that what it is about. Secondly, Money is another major thing you need to keep in mind. You don’t want to create an advertisement that requires a huge budget. It should be feasible and a reasonable budget demanding advertisement. You need to cut any extra costs and avoid wasting money at every point.
Moving on, the next factor is Message. Now, it’s very important for your ad to convey a certain message. If a viewer or a customer cannot understand what you ad is about or which product it is publicising, then your ad is certainly a failure, because that’s what an ad is all about, to convey properly and clearly about the product. The fourth most important element is Media. It is all your job to decide which channel of media you want to choose for airing your ad. You need to choose a media that is best in publicising and making your ad a hit. Most of the commonly used media are television, newspaper or online media etc. You can make an ad that is best suitable for all types of media, that is, for example you can air them on both the television and online media. The last and very important element is Measurement. Measurement here, basically means that while you create the ad, you keep in mind the total effectiveness of your advertisement, that is, who is it reaching, the way it is resonating customers and what are their reactions in response to that. This helps you to maximise the effectiveness of the advertisement you create. All these factors all so essential in creating an ad that if missed any single, the advertisement would be a failure.
