Receptivity to corporate advertising

Mostly people by and large are not ready to receive this genre of advertising. The sterile information is hardly relevant for many. The recall rates are low. Except boosting eh chairman’s ego, they are not of much use. The aversion occurs because of self-praise – say a company makes an often-made claim that we have a vision for the future. But can they substantiate it? Commercials on TV shows a computer generated factory site. There are so many such commercials. Can they be inspiring? While designing corporate ads, we should pay heed to the type of response we want. Corporate communication’s single-track. It asks for no action on the part of the audience; except passive approval. Corporate ads are difficult to evaluate. How the company behaves as a citizen? This defines its image. But ads must be backed by deeds. Even then, corporate campaigns on a sustained basis on a low key basis do have a compound effect.
