Institutional and promotional newspaper advertising practices in the US apparel retailing industry from 1971 to 1991
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the changing newspaper advertising practices of US apparel retailers between 1971 and 1991. Results revealed that during the 20-year period, advertising played an increasingly crucial role in companies' retail marketing strategies, as indicated by the rise in the total quantity of retail institutional advertisements. During the 1970s, 'store image' was the focal point of advertising strategies. In the 1990s, however, 'services offered' has become the main core of retail advertising.
