Abstract
Advertisement is the important tool of MARCOM. Companies are spending high budgets into it but unfortunately in Pakistan many companies are not getting most of it. If we talk about service industry the advertisement is the most important element for competition. In this research I have highlighted important points to analyze the content and context on Ufone advertisements and its success factors via advertisements.

THE PROBLEM

Page 12 of 46

Objective of study
Generally companies are investing large amount in this process, so if its implemented properly it will give the best result also. If any company initially known the influence of its target customer and properly work on it will benefit in long run and all the expenses became investment. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the customer loyalty and retention due to advertisements. To work on accuracy and more precisely I have selected Ufone and its advertisements campaign. Advertisements are the most important tool of MARCOM (marketing communication).

Introduction to the problem


TV ads engage in recreation an important role in introduce a product, strengthen its core competitiveness, mention the familiarity, and highlight the benefits, gives concise but accurate knowledge of the product and also persuade to try the product. This research facilitates to uncover the consequence of customer preference criteria like why they use the specific product, reasons and retention. Companies are involved in spending large amount of their revenue it advertisement campaign. Thing is that if they failed in building good reputation in the eyes of their customer not only they lost their investment but also lose their customer. There for the effectiveness o f advertisement is very important.

Background to the problem


Different media have been used for marketing like print and electronic media including news papers, magazines, TV, billboard and radio. If we talk about TV, the advertisement are much constructive than other means due to its audibility, visibility and exposure. The celebrity, theme, storyboarding, music and jingles retains in the mind thats why chances are high that customer will remind the product and potentially try it. So TV ads have greater impact on customer preferences this research is going to conclude it and provide concrete evidence with the help of past researches.

Problem and its scope


The effect of T.V advertisement on its viewers is very prominent. A large number of populations watch television everyday and refer to the products shown in the advertisement during the breaks for their need. The childrens and the youth get more affected from the T.V advertisements if they product is merely mend for their demographic. The brands who advertise their product on the television have a larger customer base than the brand that uses other media for the advertisement of their product. There is a perception is the mind of
Page 13 of 46

consumer that if the advertisement of a brand is coming on the television than it must be a big brand. T.V advertisement gives a boost to the advertisement of the brand and increases the sale as well as the brand loyalty of the brand. The scope of the problem is to determine the degree of satisfaction among consumer about the effects of T.V advertisement on the sale of the brand.

THE LITERATURE REVIEW

Page 22 of 46

Empirical studies summary


Summary # 01
Consumer behavior is based on two aspects, when we are talking about any product or brand like hood that are Context and Content. Context is basically the situation and perspective through which we decide either to purchase (use) it or not. Content is basically is the ease and comfortable portion of the selection of that product. Therefore these two components are the basic need through which any person is making decision to try, use or retain with the product. It has the greater impact on consumer preference to use the product. It can be either positive or negative. Being a marketer is important to highlight the core of the two concepts because these factors retain the customer and build their preference and change their buying behavior.

Summary # 02
Celebrity endorsement is very popular now a day to promote any product but important thing is the best use of it to gain positive outcome. In other words, companies are investing too much amount to promote their product via celebrity because of the media boom. As per research and past performance it is concluded that celebrity are the icon of our generation they consider them as their role model. People prefer to use that product or at least give it a try if their favorite celebrity appears on the advertisement. They have positive persona about them. Therefore customer retention on particular brand can be possibly is due to celebrity endorsement because they can quickly creates a hype about the company offerings.

Summary # 03
We have knowledge about those things which we have some information in our mind. If we listen, we can judge the things but when we see we have some mindset or perception about that. Therefore, TV advertisements are visual, audible and intuitive communication which build some positive image, or negative in some cases, in our mind. When we see ads on TV, our first impression about the product is that it is something or it is valuable thats why its on air on TV. Sometimes advertisement portray image about the product in such a way that people cant resist to try it. Some time customer retains to the product due to theirs different offerings which display in the ads. TV ads are constructive because if the customer is potential user they also have some knowledge about the product. It saves times as well when we are going to buys it for the first time. TV ads have the greater impacts as compared to other sources in customer preference

Review of literature
Introduction
Advertisement marketing has significant impact in our life. Influence of advertising has great

importance in our culture. We prefer to buy those products which are not only well standard but also well famous. Therefore, many researches are conducted to find out about impact of advertisements on customer choices and buying pattern. This literature review provides authentic description about impact of advertisements on customer choices and preference. Literature review (Tauseef, 2012)Researched that behavior of customer changed in two contexts first whatever he listen and whatever he see. When we talk about TV ADVERTISEMENT customers are not only listen and see but also feels and perceive the ads. When any one pays attention on TV advertisement it portrays some image of the offering either positive or negative. If the advertising is successful no matters customer is targeted or not at least he will think about it. TV advertisement leaves the image on viewer minds. Basically advertising are shaping the customer behavior. They also added that TV advertisement is the form of interaction between company and customer like for example when you interact someone it will change your mood in positive or in negative in rare cases you have no impact on interaction similarly if the advertisements are fruitful customer will have the positive impact of it. (Mukerjee, 2009)Writes in his research that celebrity endorsement has the greater impact now days because people treat them as their icon and their favorite symbol, attracted by their style and personality. Advertisement with celeb endorsement is seen as playing a manipulative role in the emerging brand, seeking to transform customers into the personification of brand identity. Celebrity endorsement has become the brand building formula and most of the company builds their brands via celebrity endorsement. He also added that viewers pay more attention than their favorite celebrity appears in any advertisements and at least they give a trial to that particular offering. Customer buying behavior is greater if the brand is endorsed by celebrity. So it is essential to know the perception about customer about the celebrity before endorsing them in brand because they can build or ruin the brand due to their greater impact on customer psyche. (Manchanda, 2002) wrote digital environment is the best mechanism to communicate with your customer. They not only know about what you are selling but they see, listen and in some cases perceive about the offering. Before trial they already know about the brand name, design, symbol, packaging etc and prepared the mind set about the product which helps them or leads them to buy it. Advertisement is the lagging effort to build customer preference to buy any product or at least use it. Banner advertising are at peak now a days. (Sharma, 2011) researched that there is the visible impact of TV advisement on customer behavior. A large number of population watch television everyday and refer to the products shown in the advertisement during the breaks for there need. The childrens and the youth get more affected from the T.V advertisements. The brands who advertise their product on the
Page 24 of 46

television have a larger customer base than the brand that uses other media for the advertisement of their product. There is a perception is the mind of consumer that if the advertisement of a brand is coming on the television than it must be a big brand. (Gewei, 2003) finds not only banner and TV advertisements are fruitful in customer retention and preference but also mobile marketing or mobile advertisements retain the customers. To achieve this, comparing to direct voice communication with mobile phones, a less disturbing communication channel is used, namely text messaging (including mobile email). In other words, mobile marketing uses primarily the text messaging technology which gives the awareness about the new product. Summary To conclude we can say that the T.V advertisement gives a boost to the advertisement of the brand and increase the sale as well as the brand loyalty of the brand and from the past research it has a great impact on customer preference.

Interpretation: Accepted.
Because: The p-value, (probability that youd see an r-value of this size just by chance) smaller is better. Reject Ho if p less than greater to 0.05 [e.g., .046 is less than greater to 0.05, so Reject.] The r-value indicates strength and direction () of the correlation; bigger is better. Number of pairs in sample, degrees of freedom (df) equals n-2.

DISCUSSION, SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

Page 41 of 46

Introduction
The discussion shows that most of the researchers agree that advertisements content and context play an important role in building brand persona. The variables I measured all showed that the customers also agree to these points. The implication of the research is that the variables must be selected wisely. Advertisements on either TV or printed form placed in suitable manner.

Discussion
Any advertisement is basically consists of two basic parts; its context and content. Therefore I have unambiguously analyzed these two parts in Ufone ads, review past researches and on the basis of that theoretical model I have prepared questionnaire to find out the result.

Implications
Importance of advertisement is the hot cake for any business but in my research I try to highlight the past research variable into consideration. I have explicitly discussed the advertisements and my researches provide results which are based on Pakistani educated customers reactions.

Conclusion
With the reference of past researches, myself analyzed theory and finally research and its data calculation it is concluded that the content and context of Ufone advertisements contains all the essential element which are building brand persona of Ufone and my respondents are agreed upon.

Recommendations
The recommendation is to highlight the grey areas of the advertising as well and also remember the cultural values while discussing advertisement because the impact of media is very high on viewers.

Suggestions for Further Studies


Those who are interested to conduct further research on this topic I suggest them to take other variables and other methodologies like cross tabs. They can also use facebook as the medium of building brand persona for any product advertisement.
