The blockbusters
Article Abstract:
Roughly 66 percent of consumers say they now believe television commercials to be more attractive now than they were in 1980. Before the mega-campaigns show themselves to be viable in the market, some hard-core, bottom-line managers will still be critical of the advertising agencies' present free-spending methods. Most of the television spots, especially the 15-second spots, illustrate new video effects. The goal of the fantastic commercials is to tell the world about the product. Young consumers are more likely to appreciate visual spots, so this technique is now crucial for the marketing of products.
