Role of Advertising in Retail
Promoting a brand is more important than opening a store. It is essential to create brand awareness for the customers to know about the brands existence. The retailer must strive hard to communicate the USPs (Unique selling Proposition) of the brand to influence the buying behaviour of the customers. In simpler words, advertisements help the end-users to know to which brand a particular product belongs.
Advertisements play a crucial role in promoting a brand and creating its awareness amongst the masses.
They help in creating an image of a particular product or brand in the minds of the potential customers. Such a mechanism is also called Brand Positioning.
