Телевидение и радио

Эффект телевизионной рекламы в целом существенно выше, чем газетно-журнальный, в связи с почти безграничными возможностями видеозаписи и монтажа. Так как реклама может быть включена почти в любую передачу, то те­левидение сохраняет и «выборочные» возможности. И, конечно, никакая, даже самая популярная газета не сравнится по массовости аудитории с десятками, а то и сотнями миллионов телезрителей, «приникших» к экранам во время по­пулярного футбольного матча или развлекательной программы. Реклама на телевидении весьма дорога, ее эффективность существенно зависит от време­ни суток для показа рекламы, от удачной компоновки ее с основными переда­чами, от воздействия другой рекламы и многих иных факторов. Кроме того, до­вольно острой проблемой является время, отводимое на саму рекламу. И это вопрос не только денег, но и довольно жестких нормативных соотношений между объемом основных и рекламных передач.

В радио- и телепрограммах не допускается прерывать рекламой детские и религиозные передачи; радиопостановки и художественные фильмы без согла­сия правообладателей; транслируемые в прямом эфире передачи, освещающие деятельность органов государственной власти; образовательные передачи бо­лее чем один раз в течение 15 минут на период, не превышающий 45 секунд; пе­редачи, продолжительность трансляции которых составляет от 15 до 60 минут, более чем два раза.

Announcement

Announcement can be used for any category of public relations advertising. Their primary use is to inform the public promptly about something that affects everyone. Recalling a product, explaining a failure of service, or rebutting a charge of irresponsi­bility are appropriate announcements.

Sears used announcement advertisements to tell how auto owners could apply for rebates if they believed they were charged too much or paid for replacement parts that were not needed. And Jack-In-The-Box used announcement ads to reassure con­sumers that it was taking precautions to make sure its restaurants met new health standards after an outbreak of food poisoning at several locations in the Seattle area. Here is the text of one such advertisement that appeared in the San Francisco Bay Area.
