INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Advertisement is the collective term for public announcement designed to
promote the scales of specific commodities or services that are meant to
educate, inform and persuade the entire public by means of difference methods
such as Radio, Television, Newspaper, Journal and Magazines etc.
Sometime,
we often get infuriated when listening or watching a programme and all of a
sudden an advertisement is intro0duce into it, (programme) telling us about
business in which individual advertise their products in an attempt to make for
awareness and persuade consumers to buy them. Various mineral drinks
advertisement is mostly carried out in advertising media. Notably, among
which are radio, television, magazines, bill-boards, newspapers etc. the
advertisement tries to persuade and convince their target audience of the
differential benefit derivable from consumption of the brand of seven-up.
Advertisement went their perspective consumers to be convinced by impressing
upon them that their own brand of seven-up drink is the best in town in terms
of its quality contents and satisfaction. Some slogans is been written on
calendars given to customer by their producers. Such slogan is intended to
assure the perspective hungers and consumers of the benefits of satisfaction
derivable. This enable the consumer buys expectation of the product and not the
product itself. Furthermore, a theory holds that a consumer satisfaction is a
function of the consumer product expectation and product performance. This is
say that if the products match expectations, the consumer is highly satisfied
if it falls short, the consumer is dissatisfied.
In essence
therefore, producers generally make or produce satisfaction and not the
physical product alone. Against this
background, we can presume that seven-up consumers buy the product hoping it
will satisfy the desired intention consumer buy whatever other satisfaction
derived from its consumption or usage and not the physical product.
