Trang 9Advertising Successes and Mistakes
• Value Proposition
Is the essence of a message and the reward to the
consumer for investing his or her time attending to an advertisement
The reward could be information about the product or just an enjoyable experience
Research indicates that starting with a strong selling proposition substantially increases the odds of
creating effective advertisements

Trang 27Identifying Means-End Chains:
The Method of Laddering
• Laddering Research Technique
Is used to identify linkages between attributes (A),
consequences (C), and values (V)
Constructs a hierarchy, or ladder, of relations
between a brand’s attributes and consequences (the means) and consumer values (the end)
Attempts to get at the root or deep reasons why
individual consumers buy certain products and brands
Trang 28© 2010 South-Western, a part of Cengage Learning All rights reserved 8–28
Practical Issues in Identifying
Means-End Chains
• The laddering method “forces” interviewees to identify
hierarchies among attributes, consequences, and values that may actually not exist for them
attributes and consequences but not necessarily
between consequences and values
assumed to represent all consumers in the target
audience
