3. 2 RESEARCH DESIGN

Everything we need to know about advertising research. The advertising research is
to be conducted to measure the advertising impact or the result of the effort with the

help of detailed study on advertising objectives, product appeals, copy testing, and
media effectiveness.

The advertising research is an application of marketing research aimed at the
measurement of advertising effectiveness. Advertising research is better defined by

history and practice than anything else. Research comes into the advertising process at
several points. Early in the process, it is sometimes used to help a marketer determine

which segment of the market to target.
