Author(s): Nikita Bogdanov / Language(s): Ukrainian / Issue: 2/2017

Purpose of the work. The purpose of the work is to identify possible methods for using Social Media Marketing and the YouTube channel to promote video production. The research methodology consists in the use of functional, systemic, comparative and media analysis to consider the YouTube channel as a quality content for the promotion of video production. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the disclosure of the main provisions for the promotion of video products (music videos) on the channel "YouTube". For the first time, the methods of promoting video production in "YouTube" are considered, in the context of the development of Internet technologies. Conclusions. "YouTube" belongs to the most popular hosting, where you can rank and promote national video products for little money. Also, the video format is considered an important component in the work of marketers. Videos fully demonstrate the various characteristics of the product or create valuable educational or cultural and artistic content. Therefore, producers and marketers are constantly increasing the volume of financing the production of advertising videos and video clips in order to interest potential buyers. At the same time, there is a risk of copyright infringement in the network, so the problem of legislative regulation of the protection of the rights of modern music performers and popularization of their video production is still relevant.

(Para)literacki wymiar reklamy

Author(s): Magdalena Lachman / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2016

The impulse to write this article came with the recognition that among the various ways to define and characterize advertising the ones which emphasize – either intentionally or unintentionally – the variously understood (para)literary nature of the phenomenon occupy a prominent position. The belief that advertising can be regarded as a variety or specific manifestations of literature reveals itself on various occasions and in a wide variety of sources (not necessarily oriented towards literary studies): in academic research, literary criticism, essay and column writing, journalism and popular publications. The author does not seek to determine whether and under what conditions advertising complies with the requirements of a literary work, but rather adopts a reconstructive attitude and looks for an answer to the question, due to what properties and factors advertising is sometimes viewed in literary (or, more broadly, artistic) terms, and what arguments are used in support of this thesis, as well as what results from this type of beliefs for literary art itself, its condition, cultural rank and status quo.

(Zlo)upotreba žene u reklamama

Author(s): Ana Marija Dunjic / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 15/2010

Advertising as a powerful means of influence on customer’s behavior has great potential of understanding of gender in one’s society. Mostly based on gender stereotypes, advertising uses archetypical patterns to sell advertised product, followed by more or less jokey statements. Even nowadays, when the emancipation of women has reached its full power, we can find commercials which represent women as housewives, in typical roles attached to household or family. We take these commercials for granted because we decode the message form our collective experience. The aim of this work is to show that through decades, starting from the early fifties when advertising has become a profession – gender stereotypes has maintained, even though less than they used to, and traditional understanding of women roles is society is still active, although not as dominant as it was.

2016 YILI İMDB’DE İLK 5’E GİREN FİLM AFİŞLERİNİN TİPOGRAFİK AÇIDAN İNCELENMESİ

Author(s): Birsen Çeken,Asuman Aypek Arslan,A. Çisem YAYÇILI ÖZEN / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 10/2017

Posters are one of the advertising tools used to promote a product. Especially in the cinema sector, the tools used to attract viewer attention are rather limited. In this case, movie posters have a big task. Because audiences like a film poster that does not have an idea about the film and they might go for it. In such a case, we can think that the posters of the films which entered the first five in the internet movie database known as IMDB in 2016 are also the effects of the number of films watched. For this reason, these five most watched film posters have been examined in terms of typographic. Similarities and differences were sought according to film category in the typographies of the films encountered.

A benefit-based approach for increasing the effectiveness of promotions

Author(s): Marusya Ivanova / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2012

The purpose of this paper is to reveal some insights for increasing the effectiveness of promotions. To achieve this purpose, first, the existence of multiple customer benefits of promotions is proved. It is empirically validated that promotions deliver three utilitarian (monetary savings, higher quality and shopping convenience) and two hedonic (variety and pleasure) benefits to the customers. Second, a structural equation model is estimated to measure the relative contribution of these benefits on the customers’ overall evaluation of promotions. The research suggests that in order to increase their effectiveness, promotions must be framed by focusing not only on their primary benefits but also on all other benefits with a significant contribution to customers’ attitudes towards promotions. Finally, a benefit-based segmentation is conducted. Four market clusters are identified (none-benefit, allbenefit, utilitarian-benefit and hedonic-benefit customer segments). Further, these clusters are profiled using demographic and psychographic variables.

A CAUSALITY ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Author(s): Daniel Francois Meyer,Kazeem Abimbola Sanusi / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

In terms of macro-economic policy, gross fixed capital formation, which is the major component of domestic investment, is seen as an important process that could accelerate economic growth. This study re-examines the controversial issue of causality between domestic investment, employment and economic growth using South African data. The traditional assumption of causality running from investment to economic growth has remained inconclusive while empirical findings on the investment and employment growth nexus are also largely unsettled. The study makes use of quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2016Q4 within the framework of the Johansen cointegration and Vector Error Correction Models (VECM). The empirical findings suggest that a long run relationship exists between domestic investment, employment and economic growth, with causality running from economic growth to investment and not vice versa. The results also demonstrate that investment has a positive long-run impact on employment. The empirical evidence further suggests bi-directional causality between employment and economic growth, while evidence of uni-directional causality, from investment to employment, is also found. The major implication of the study is that although there is bi-directional causality between economic growth and employment, economic growth does not translate to increased employment in the long run confirming “jobless growth”. Investment is found to be a positive driver of employment in the South African economy in the long-run. The study concludes that, in order to stimulate employment, investment enhancing policies, such as low interest rates and a favourable economic environment should be put in place to accelerate growth. Measures to promote economic growth, such as improved infrastructural facilities and diversification of the economy, should be further engineered so as to encourage increased investment.

A Cluster Analysis of Senses Effects on Consumer Behavior. Lessons for Businesses

Author(s): Ioana-Octavia Bratulescu,Simona Vasilache / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2014

The paper tests the correlation between sensorial marketing and consumer behavior. Most of our buying decisions, in practice, are based on emotions, rather than rationality. Using an experimental design, we have tested the influence of human senses, under various stimuli, on purchasing behavior of selected customers. We have also tested the features of chocolate related to the idea of tenderness, in the consumers’ minds. The findings revealed that customers are less influenced by visual stimuli, reacting more to texture and packaging.

Author(s): Yusuf Arslan,Emre Yildirim / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2016

The purpose of the study is to assess the consumers’ perceived service quality levels towards national and local retailers. To reach this aim, four main hypotheses were tested. A questionnaire was formed to collect the data needed to test the hypotheses. The questionnaire was carried out to the 211 consumers who have shopped both from local and national FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) selling retailers. Convenience sampling methods was used in the study, picking voluntary costumers from either kind of retailers. The results indicate that, perceived service quality levels for national and local retailers are significantly different for Physical Aspects and Problem Solving dimensions. The results for Customer Interest and Personal Interaction dimensions were insignificant. Thus, according to the results, two hypotheses of the study were supported while two of them rejected.

A Comprehensive Review on the Issue of Trust

Author(s): Volkan Yuncu,Yusuf Karaca / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

In pursuit of a great many corporate crises and financial scandals undermining the public’s trust in organizations, which are referred as black swan events in literature, trust in an organization has become staggeringly pivotal to entrench legitimacy and corporate reputation within the environment that organization subsists since legitimacy and corporate reputation are correlated with a variety of covetable business outcomes. Hence, within the scope of this research, in which an extensive theoretical review was conducted largely in management and marketing literature, trust as a relational and social construct is discussed systematically in a way that clarifies the way trust is conceptually embraced. Moreover, the role of trust in building corporate reputation and trust in the context of internet were also discussed.

A Finnország-márka – Az arculatépítés és az oktatás –

Author(s): Attila Gál / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 3/2012

In our study we offer an insight into the brand-building processes being pursued in Finland and examine how we can trace the international reputation of Finland’s education system in today’s developing “Finland-brand”. Our study is based on the internationally accepted nation-branding theories (Simon Anholt, Peter van Ham). We will introduce discourses that connect with the results obtained by Finnish students in PISA measurements on the basis of our former studies. In this beginning stage of our examination, we concentrate on electronic documentation and press ‘appearances’ of this Finnish nation-branding. It may be stated that besides values connected to the welfare state and highlighting economic successes, the reputation of Finland’s education system, which has a prominent place on the international stage, is also an integral part of the development of the “Finland-brand”.

A Focus on Far Eastern Tourists – Tour Operator Selection Criteria

Author(s): Ayse Çelik / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Tour operators are becoming more important in the long haul destination market. Identifying tour operator selection criteria is crucial to orientate marketing strategies. The aim of the study was to determine the tour operation selection criteria of a package holiday maker visiting Turkey from the Far East according to the nationality. Data was drawn up and analyzed from tourists who came from three of these countries namely: Japan, South Korea, and China between February and April 2013 in Cappadocia. Quantitative methodology employing One-way ANOVA analysis was used. Deduction was made by analysing the tour operator selection criteria data that nationality was not a meaningful differentiation for a tourist in their assessment of the “Service Quality’” and “Opportunity to interact with other people’” items referred to in the survey questionnaire. Other items from the resulting data gave meaningful differences in crosscultural behaviour. Results from the study provide important cues for tour operator managers to consider developing different promotional strategy initiatives to engage and attract more Japanese, South Korean, and Chinese tourists to Turkey.
