1 How To Improve Brand Recognition In Television Commercials SYEDA FAIZA GILLANI & SHAHNILA YOUSAF MBA Scholar City University of Science & I-T Peshawar Pakistan SHAHZAD KHAN Lecturer City University of Science & I-T Peshawar Pakistan ABSTRACT The main objective of this research study was to discover the key factors that may influence the way to improve brand recognition in television commercials Peshawar Pakistan. There are nine major factors of which two are known from previous studies, while the remaining six are developed from grounded theory. Studies indicate that these nine factors are responsible for brand recognition in television commercials Those factors include brand recognition, brand ambassador, the concept of linkage, conveying the USP (Unique Selling Proposition), the effects of music / sound / voice, humor, emotions and relationships, inspiration, and attitude, campaign rivalry and excitement. A structured questionnaire was developed to collect data. The study population consisted of all consumers in Peshawar Pakistan. In convenient base 150 consumers were attacked in Peshawar Pakistan. The statistical part of the analysis is based on descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The results were performed by SPSS version 20.Results are designated brand recognition, brand ambassador, the concept of linkage, transmitting the USP (Unique Selling Proposition), the effects of music / sound / voice, humor, emotions and relationships, inspiration and attitude, the campaign exciting rivalry and the main factors that manipulate brand recognition in TV commercials. The results of the study showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the dependent variable (brand recognition) and independent variables (brand ambassador, the concept of linkage, transmitting the USP (Unique Selling Proposition), the effects of music / sound / voice, humor, emotions and relationships, inspiration and attitude, rivalry and excitement campaign) Keywords: brand recognition in television commercials Peshawar Pakistan European Society for Business and Social Sciences 20

2 1. INTRODUCTION Television commercials in Pakistan have continued many of them. They are funny, witty, and emotional and inspiring, with great music and sound, and some even managed to have an echo in every ones hearts. Many lasted for a longer period, some came and went quickly, and some do not even lasted for a couple of weeks. Television Ads (TVC) are perhaps one of the best tools for creating awareness among people. According to Neil Kokemuller (2007) Strengthening brand awareness is one of the primary objectives of marketing course for a company or product. Before you build loyalty and repeat purchases, you have to get oriented to acknowledge its existence through a variety of tools and techniques used to achieve brand recognition promotion customers. The following are some points that are essential for inclusion in the TVC and what to avoid and what concept should be used in every situation and on the mark. 2.1 Brand Ambassador 2. LITERATURE REVIEW According tofuggetta, Rob (2012) and Pokuetal (2013). Brand Ambassador mentioned as a person who is a representator or a corporate identity in appearance, behavior, values and ethics. Or a person who is hired by a company or organization to promote their products or services within the activity had known brand. "The keyelement of a brand ambassador lies in its ability to use promotional strategies that strengthen customer-product/service relationship and influence a large audience to buy and consume more" (Low, George S., Fullerton, Ronald A. May 1994). 2.2 CONCEPTLINKAGE Sheinin, D. (2000), linking the brand is defined as the degree to which consumers understand the message of a business and it is for a specific brand of product instead of the product category. Consumers perceive that brands are a major cause of business and consumer long-term relationships (Fournier, 1998). The term "brand" has been shown to understand meanings from two different sources; First, the brand identity as codified and communicated by the initiator of the brand, and secondly, the meaning of the brand from users or consumer environment (Jevons, Gabbott and Chernatony, 2001). This division of meaning between creator and consumer has a number of implications, including the possibility of "drift" between certain organizational sense and meanings perceived by the user (Chernatony and Riley Dall'Olmo [1997]). Drifting between owner and user of brand meanings is accentuated by European Society for Business and Social Sciences 21

3 Communicative or rich environments such as the Internet, and this increases the importance of understanding the links between forms of brand meanings. 2.3 CONVEYING THE USP The USP states that such campaigns made unique propositions to the customer who convinced them to change brands. The term was developed by the pioneering television advertising Rosser Reeves of Ted Bates & Company. Theodore Levitt, a professor at Harvard Business School, said, "The differentiation is one of the most important strategic and tactical activities in which companies must constantly engage Khan &Bagram (2012). 2.4 HUMOR Humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. Some companies claim that humor cannot or should not be explained. But (EB White 1989) once said, "Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind. 2.5 MUSIC / VOICE / SOUND EFFECTS The most important element of advertising is voices that are the heart of the jungle, spoken dialogue and announcements. Similar as music can be used behind the dialogues to create the mood and set the settings. While the sound effects are important for advertising to attract attention and make memorable adds. 2.6 EMOTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS According Gaulin, Steven JC and Donald H. McBurney (2003) Emotion is often associated with and considered reciprocal influence mood, temperament,personality,disposition, and motivation. Bashir, Zeeshan&Sabbar (2013) Much of the emotions we experience in everyday life arises in the context of our social relationship (Aveill, 2012). 2.7 INSPIRATION AND ATTITUDE Having a positive mental health gives us the motivation to do the best we can and always striving to do better (Murray, Michael &Pizzorno, and Joseph 1998 With good mental health is good emotional health and intellectual, who helpers in solving problems of life events (David 2006). feelings are inspired attitude of a person contagious enthusiasm for something that gives people a new and creative ideas. (Larry, RS, 2010). 2.8 IMPLEMENTATION There are many ways to run any supplements. An execution is how a massage is presented in the advertisement. The creative teams spend hours compare and test various approaches to reach version one feels best delivery strategy European Society for Business and Social Sciences 22

4 3. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK This research theoretical framework is showing several factors. Brand recognition is dependent variable while brand Ambassador, Rivalry Campaign, Price, Purchase Decision, Perceived Quality, Store Environment, Design, Promotion, Expiry and conveying USP are operationalized Variables while concept linkage, Music/voice/ sound effects, humor, inspiration and attitude,emotion and relation and execution are independent variables. So brand recognition is affected by these independent variables European Society for Business and Social Sciences 23

13 The above table is a summary of Correlation matrix, KMO & Bartley, Anti-image matrix and reliability analysis tests which shows that all the questions were valid and reliable.determinant value of table should be greater than.1 and In the above table all the values of all factors are greater than.1. it shows that all the questions are valid. While in the KMO table the sig value should be less than.05. In this case all the KMO values are less than.05 it shows that the questions are correct and are signifying to the variables. The anti-image table shows that all the diagonal values should be higher than 0.5 and all the values of factors are higher than 0.5 so these tests also prove all the questions are valid. In Communalities test all the externalities value should be greater than.5 or.7 so all the externalities values are according to condition so it is proven that all the questions are valid. 5. HYPOTHESIS These assumptions the ratio of television advertisements with brand recognition is shown. While outs this point the investigation of factors influencing the TV ads with brand recognition. Based on the factors that manipulate the TV ads, which arise subsequent hypothesis H1: There is a significant positive correlation between the brand ambassador and brand recognition. Ha: There is a significant positive correlation between the concept of linkage and brand recognition H2: There is a significant and positive correlation between rivalry campaign and brand recognition Ha: There is a significant and positive correlation between music / sound and voice and brand recognition Hb: There is a significant and positive correlation between humor and brand recognition HC: There is a significant and positive correlation between inspiration and attitude and brand recognition H3: There is a significant and positive correlation between the transmission of the USP and brand recognition Ha: There is a significant positive correlation between emotions and relationships and brand recognition Hb: There is a significant positive correlation between execution and brand recognition European Society for Business and Social Sciences 32

14 6.1 Research Design 6. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This examined study is designed at empirically identify how to improve brand recognition in television commercials. For this study we selected the city of Peshawar. This study was conducted by using structured questionnaire. 6.2 Instrument A questionnaire in order to collect data from respondents of the selected areas was developed. The questionnaire consists of two sections: the first section is based on Demo graphs. While the second part of the questionnaire was based on the dependent variable (brand recognition) and independent variables (concept linkage, voice / music and sound effects, humor, inspiration and attitude, emotions and relationships and execution). All statistical figures for the research were made through self-administered questionnaire. This questionnaire was a close-ended questionnaire with five-point Likert scale. Consecutively to obtain adequate data from users. 6.3 Data Collection Procedure The relevant population for our research was all consumers in Peshawar. So for data collection target area was the city of Peshawar. The survey was conducted on a random sample of consumers between "between" 16 and 59. A sample of 150 questionnaires were prepared and distributed to the respondent. Since 129 questionnaires were received, and the remaining 17 were either issued or misplaced. The study was conducted in convenient base because the population was unknown and it was non probability sampling. Sociodemographic profile For the purposes of data analysis researchers used descriptive statistics. Through descriptive statistics the frequency of respondents was measured along with the percentages Table 1: Demographic Factors Meas ures Artic les Frequencies ge Percenta Valid Percent Cumulative Percentage Age European Society for Business and Social Sciences 33
