Creating an Advertising Message

In our discussion of the communication process in the Promotion Decisions tutorial, effective communication requires the message source to create (encoding) a message that can be interpreted (decoding) by the intended message receiver.

  • General Message Factors
  • Message Structure
  • Message Testing
