An Investigation of TV Advertisement Effects on Customers' Purchasing and their Satisfaction

Abstract

Today advertisement plays an important role in persuading customers to purchase products and services. On the other hand the expenses of advertisement in comparisons of other activities in most companies are very remarkable. Marketing studies showed that traditional advertisement strategies based on massive ads bombarding over a generic audience are not very effective and, in some cases, are at risk of being counterproductive. As a result, marketers and advertising companies are always looking for more effective and newer communication media and evaluation methods of advertising effectiveness. The present study attempts to examine the effects of Avishan company’s TV advertisement (As a big clothing producer company in Iran) on customers' attention to advertisement, interest for purchasing, desire for purchasing, action of purchasing and eventually customers' satisfaction in Babol city. The results show that the TV advertisement was effective in taking attention of customers, creating interest, desire and action of purchasing. Also, the study revealed that the customers were satisfied from purchasing Avishan’s products.
