Whats The Frequency?
The more things change, some say, the more things stay the same. When it comes to marketing, I tend to agree. Consider the following list of how advertising frequency equates to advertising effectiveness. Thomas Smith wrote this in 1885: * The first time a man looks at an advertisement, he does not see it. * The second time, he does not notice it. * The third time, he is conscious of its existence. * The fourth time, he faintly remembers having seen it before. * The fifth time, he reads it. * The sixth time, he turns up his nose at it. * The seventh time, he reads it through and says, "Oh brother!" * The eighth time, he says, "Here's that confounded thing again!" * The ninth time, he wonders if it amounts to anything. * The tenth time, he asks his neighbor if he has tried it. * The eleventh time, he wonders how the advertiser makes it pay. * The twelfth time, he thinks it must be a good thing. * The thirteenth time, he thinks perhaps it might be worth something. * The fourteenth time, he remembers wanting such a thing a long time. * The fifteenth time, he is tantalized because he cannot afford to buy it. * The sixteenth time, he thinks he will buy it some day. * The seventeenth time, he makes a memorandum to buy it. * The eighteenth time, he swears at his poverty. * The nineteenth time, he counts his money carefully. * The twentieth time he sees the ad, he buys what it is offering.
