Yоu аre а member оf the cоrporаte marketing staff of Alpha Beta Stores, Inc., a major grocery store chain in the eastern U.S. Your current assignment is to explore ways that A-B stores could increase sales and profits in the short run without any changes in merchandise carried, item prices, media advertising, or new store locations. You know that the corporate and individual store ad budgets have been fixed for the next 6 months due to media contracts booked earlier. In thinking about this problem, you come across a recent survey reported in the industry trade journal, Progressive Grocer, which states that consumer shopping time is positively correlated with the amount of their grocery expenditures. Please apply any two of the principles you learned in the Learning Module (classical conditioning, operant conditioning and learning as knowledge) to achieve your objective under the constraints described above.
The Americаn Assоciаtiоn оf Television Broаdcasters (AATB) is extremely concerned about the growing practice of consumer "zipping", which is what happens when TV viewers watch regular broadcast programs they have recorded on their DVRs, skipping through the commercials using the "cue" function to rapidly advance the recording. When this occurs, a 30-second commercial is seen in about 3 seconds, without any sound. Surveys show that the percentage of households viewing regular broadcast programs which have been recorded, instead of watching them as they are telecast at their normally scheduled times, has increased from 11% to 57% in the last 5 years. As you would surmise, this practice threatens the viability of selling both network and spot TV advertising. As an advertising specialist aimed at countering the problems due to ‘zipping’, apply some of the concepts/tools learned in this course to suggest one or two specific steps would you recommend for – The networks take in this situation? And, The Kellogg Company, a major television advertiser, to take in this situation?
