Fifty years ago, advertisers would have been comfortable in knowing that their television ads would reach a very large number of potential consumers. After all there were only a couple of channels to choose from! But today, advertisers and marketers are forced to find new and innovative ways to get their message to consumers. In this lesson we're going to explore the future of advertising and the new marketing technologies we'll be seeing in the near future.
At the end of this lesson you'll be able to:
Jack: I have to say, the new prototypes look excellent but we're going to need some way to measure their effectiveness. I mean, we're looking at an entirely new advertising vehicle here. We have to know if we've managed to reach our consumers.
Suzan: That's not going to be a problem. Once these models are as sophisticated and standardized as more established media, like in-store cardboard displays and posters, for example, the metrics will be easier to interpret.
Laura: I agree. Then we'll be able to find the right mix of content and technology to reach consumers in a meaningful way.
TRADUÇÃO
Jack: Eu tenho que admitir, os novos protótipos estão excelentes, mas nós vamos precisar de uma maneira de medir a sua eficácia. Quer dizer, nós estamos lidando com um veículo de publicidade completamente novo aqui. Nós temos que saber se nós conseguimos alcançar nossos consumidores.
Suzan: Isso não será problema. Uma vez que esses modelos estejam tão sofisticados e padronizados quanto as mídias mais estabelecidas, como mostras em papelão em lojas e pôsteres, por exemplo, as métricas ficarão mais fáceis de interpretar.
Laura: Eu concordo. Aí nós conseguiremos achar a combinação certa de conteúdo e tecnologia para alcançar os consumidores de uma maneira significativa.
Have a pleasant day.
Thanks and have a great day at work.
I agree, to some extent, that word-of-mouth may be one of the most effective ways of promoting something. However,I just don't think it's the best one for today's standards. Nowadays everything changes so fast making it really hard for a regular consumer to keep track of all the latest trends available on the market. What I believe marketing leaders have done lately was to focus on particular groups' behavior patterns. And online communities seem to be the perfect environment for their marketing research.
What do you guys think?
Best,

Thanks for pointing out that grammar mistake to me. I'll pay more attention to verb tenses next time. I really appreciate your encouraging me to make comments on and correcting other fellow learners' postings. Thanks again.
