2. INTRODUCTION
In the world of rat racing competition in respect of marketing of different goods and services
market research has been an integral part of the management of any newly promoted company
to evaluate the promotional prospective in the perspective of demands to the customers in the
market. Since last couple of years, India has been marked as an area of business promotion to the
upcoming business houses catering different kinds of goods and services.
Now in order to promote their goods and services the first thing they need to do is to give
advertisements. Advertising is multidimensional. It is a form of mass communication, a powerful
marketing tool, a component of the economic system, a means of financing the mass media,
social institution, an art form, an instrument of business management, a field of employment and
a profession.Advertsing in India was pioneered by Dattaram and Company in 1905 from
Girgaon, an area in Mumbai. Advertising in 2005 completes 100 years of its existence in India. It
has shaped and has been shaped by the environment. In its long journey from the street peddlers
to its present format on TV and Internet
.
The Indian advertising industry is talking business today. It has evolved from being a small-
scale business to a full-fledged industry. It is now considered to be one of the major industries
and tertiary sectors and has broadened its horizons be it the creative aspect, the capital employed
or the number of personnel involved. Indian advertising industry in very little time has carved a
niche for itself and placed itself on the global map. The creative minds that the Indian advertising
industry incorporates have come up with some very innovative concepts and work that can be
considered as masterpieces in the field of advertising.

3. Advertising agencies in the country too have taken a leap. They have come a long way from being small
and medium sized industries to becoming well known brands in the business. Mudra, Ogilvy and Mathew
(O&M), McCann Ericsonn, Rediffussion, Leo Burnett are some of the top agencies of the country. Indian
economy is on a boom and the market is on a continuous trail of expansion. With the market gaining
grounds Indian advertising has every reason to celebrate. Businesses are looking up to advertising as a tool
to cash in on lucrative business opportunities. Growth in business has lead to a consecutive boom in the
advertising industry as well.
Indian Advertising today handles both national and international projects. This is primarily because of the
reason that the industry offers a host of functions to its clients that include everything from start to finish
that include client servicing, media planning, media buying, creative conceptualization, pre and post
campaign analysis, market research, marketing, branding.
Keeping in mind the current pace at which the advertising agencies are growing the industry is expected to
witness a major boom in the times ahead. If the experts are to be believed then the industry in the coming
times will form a major contribution to the GDP. With all this there is definitely no looking back for the
Indian advertising industry that is all set to win accolades from the world over. In India about 40
advertising agencies are handling about 80 percent of business which stands at a staggering Rs 10,000
crore. The rest of the business is shared by about 700 advertising agencies. Indian advertising has grown to
its maturity and become very professional. The Adverting Club of Mumbai is the Mecca of Indian
Advertising, contributing about 60 percent of the total billing of the advertising industry.
The Indian advertising industry has been evolving at a fast pace over the years owing to an increase in
the forms of media and communication and the emergence of new distribution channels. Currently India
has a low advertising spend to GDP ratio compared to other economies. Competition for the outsourcing
business and creativity leakage represents the major issue and implications. However the television
advertising is expected to register high rates of growth, with India expected to become Asia’s largest cable
market by 2015.

INSEPARABILITY:
 Services are typically sold first, then produced and consumed simultaneously. Similarly in case of
the advertising industry an ad is created first and then it is used for promotional purpose.
 The delivery and consumption of such a service is inseparable as there has to be interaction
between the client and service providers which tells the service provider the needs and the
requirements of the client (what exactly he is looking for).
 Interaction between the business client and the advertising service provider is necessary in this
case.
 Mass production does not take place in this type of industry.
 Employees as well as the clients affect the service outcome.
 Customization takes place in the advertisement industry.
HETEROGENITY:

 Service offered at one branch may differ greatly from the service offered at another branch.

of promotional tools they are focusing upon. So there is heterogeneity in the advertising industry.

to consumed immediately after production.

7P’s of the services marketing
Successful marketing depends upon addressing a number of key issues. These include: what a
company is going to produce; how much it is going to charge; how it is going to deliver its
products or services to the customer; and how it is going to tell its customers about its products
andservices.
Traditionally, these considerations were known as the 4Ps — Product, Price, Place and
Promotion. As marketing became a more sophisticated discipline, a fifth ‘P’ was added —
People. And recently, two further ‘P’s were added, mainly for service industries — Process and
Physical evidence. These considerations are now known as the 7Ps of marketing, sometimes
referred to as the marketing mix.
