    30 127) Name and describe the four main types of markets, and discuss characteristics of advertising targeted toward each market. Answer: (1) Consumer markets consist of people who buy products and services for personal or household use. Just about any product that an individual purchases including clothing, food, books, health and beauty aids, and so forth can be advertised to consumers through mass media such as radio, television, newspapers, general consumer magazines, and direct-response media, such as direct mail. Businesses spend most of their advertising dollars on this market. (2) Business-to-business (B2B) markets consist of companies that buy products or services to use in their own businesses or in making other products. Promotion tends to focus on facts and information. (3) Institutional markets include a wide variety of profit and nonprofit organizations such as hospitals, government agencies, and schools that provide goods and services for the benefit of society. This market is typically reached through the same means as industrial markets. (4) Channel markets are made up of members of the distribution chain, also known as resellers or intermediaries.

On the other hand, when a product does not perform well, the message is that the customer should not repurchase the product. (2) Price: The price of a product sends a message about its quality and status. The higher the price is, the higher expectations of quality and status consumers may have. (3) Place: Where and how a brand is available contributes to the image of the brand. The objective is to match the distribution to the product quality, brand personality, and price.
