每到年底的時候我們都需要撰寫研究報告,那就意味著我們的研究工作已接近尾聲。有人很怕做這一工作,以為撰寫研究報告是個高深的工作。實際上,這個工作只是你的一篇帶有研究性質(zhì)的作文而已,只要你牢記這樣一個宗旨:中心突出、簡潔明了,那么無論你撰寫哪一類型的研究報告,你都會成功。 請仔細研究下面的示例:
奉了上司之命,Jennifer負責策劃一項廣告活動。由于廣告促銷的成效對銷售業(yè)績將有決定性的影響,因此這可不是份輕松的差事;尤其在做好決定之后,該如何向上司說明,以取得他們的支持,則有賴于做簡報的技巧和方式。
I'm here today to present my research about the advertisingcampaign for the Kitchen Master microwave oven. Since this is a newproduct, our main goal is to establish brand awareness among our targetaudience, which is working women, aged 25 to 40.
According to my figures, of the working women we polled, 50% saidthey read at least one of the top-five selling women's magazines inTaiwan. And a full 80% said they watch at least one hour of televisioneach night.
If you'll take a look at this chart, the best media mix, then,would be a combination of TV and magazine advertisements. I suggest 60%of the budget go toward spot ads, 35% toward print ads, and 5% towardoutdoor advertising.
To conclude, even though our target audience is clearly defined,introducing a new product is always a gamble. But with the proper mediamix we can certainly lessen the chance of failure.
今天我要向各位報告的是為“大廚師”廣告所做調(diào)查的結果。由于“大廚師”是新產(chǎn)品,我們的廣告必須要在目標顧客群中,也就是25歲至40歲的職業(yè)婦女中,建立起品牌知名度。
根據(jù)我所得到的數(shù)據(jù),接受調(diào)查訪問的職業(yè)婦女中,有百分之五十的人表示,她們閱讀臺灣最暢銷的五本婦女雜志中至少一本。而有整整百分之八十的受訪者表示,她們每晚至少看一個小時的電視。
如果各位看一下這張圖表,就可以知道,最好的媒體組合是,電視和雜志廣告并用。我建議將預算的百分之六十撥給電視廣告,百分之三十五給雜志,其余的百分之五做戶外廣告。
總的來說,即使我們的目標顧客已很清晰,但新產(chǎn)品上巿本來就像賭博,沒人能有十成的把握。然而,媒體組合選用得當,我們自然會降低失敗的機率。
短語解說
brand awareness 品牌知名度
這是個廣告的專業(yè)用語,指消費者對某項產(chǎn)品的認識。"Awareness"由"aware"變化而來,后者為形容詞,有“知曉;注意到”的意思。"Brand",‘牌子、商標’。
To increase brand awareness, we will have to advertise on TV to reach the largest possible audience.
為了提高知名度,我們必須打電視廣告,盡可能讓最多的觀眾看到我們的產(chǎn)品。
target audience 目標大眾
每一項產(chǎn)品在制作廣告之前,都會選定某一群人作為主要的訴求對象,這群人就稱為該廣告的“目標大眾”。目標大眾決定之后,廣告內(nèi)容、媒體、甚至播出時段,才能隨之選定。"Target",靶子、目標。
Our current ads are not reaching the target audience. We'll have to make some changes.
本公司目前的廣告并沒有發(fā)揮對目標大眾的影響力,我們得做些改變。
media mix 媒體組合
"Media" 在此指將產(chǎn)品信息傳達給目標大眾的媒介,包括電視、廣播、報紙、雜志等等。在為產(chǎn)品制作廣告時,通常經(jīng)由各種研究與調(diào)查,找出效果最大、效率最高的幾種廣告方式,同時使用。這些不同媒體的組合使用即是"media mix"。
With the proper media mix, you can effectively reach your target audience.
媒體組合若選用得宜,你的廣告便能有效地影響目標大眾。
spot ad(s) 電視或收音機廣告
這是美式口語的說法,"spot ad" 就是電視或廣播節(jié)目中的廣告,又可簡稱為"spot"。
Spot ads are the most expensive and usually the most effective.
電視和收音機廣告的費用最貴,而效果通常也最好。
print ad(s) 平面廣告
這詞組直譯就是“印刷式的廣告”,即紙面上的廣告,主要是指報紙和雜志廣告。
The designer's specialty is creating breathtaking print ads.
創(chuàng)作令人驚異的平面廣告是這位設計師的專長。
