Рекламные щиты компании Фольксваген вызвали гневное возмущение верующих католиков, которые посчитали такой вид рекламы оскорбительным.
Компании пришлось убрать всю рекламу немедленно, чтобы подтвердить свое уважение к чувствам верующих а также выплатить компенсацию за ущерб, понесенный католической церковью.
3. Европейские потребители каждый день подвергаются огромному количеству коммерческих предположений, поэтому они просто игнорируют большинство из них.
4. Шокирующая реклама становится все более популярной среди рекламодателей, потому что они считают, что подобная реклама заставляет потребителя обратить внимание на их продукцию.
5. Потребители подвергают сомнению старомодные методы рекламы брэндов и не принимают за чистую монету заявления компаний о превосходстве их брэндов.
Им нужна реклама, которая обещает им что-то взамен, и имеет отношение к насущным вопросам общественной жизни.
6. Хотя реклама, оскорбляющая чувства потребителя, может показаться маркетинговым провалом, все чаще рекламные агентства предлагают клиентам не просто свои способности сочинять рекламу, а способность сочинять рекламу, о которой пишет пресса.
7. Преднамеренно шокирующее рекламное объявление способно вызвать дополнительное внимание прессы.
Даже если отклики в прессе неблагоприятные, они приводят к увеличению объема продаж, так как многие люди начинают покупать товар из любопытства.
8. Некоторые специалисты считают, что можно оскорбить чувства людей в том случае, если ваши потребители не обращают на это внимания, и все вполне законно. Единственным табу в маркетинге может быть лишь то, что огорчает вашего потребителя.
9. Молодежь, как правило, более восприимчива к нарушению запретов, поскольку у них более широкий кругозор. Они с удовольствием воспринимают рекламу, которая раздражает их родителей.
10. Очевидно, в будущем скандальная реклама не будет направлена только на молодежь, и нарушение запретов станет нормой в рекламном бизнесе.
