CHAPTER ONE

1.0      INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

        Televisions [T. V] advertising have for many years denominated the practice of media advert in Nigeria especially since the inception of it televisions in Nigeria. Many companies have found the television as worthy media by which they can  advertise their products and be sure that such advert would have wide viewership coverage for the product so advertised.

        In the early 89’s and before that data the problem with television [T. V] adverts was the only very few Individual owned television.

        The growth of the ownership of television was therefore slow as many were unable t reconcile television with cinema which was the prevailing highly technical mass media of the seventies (70s) and eighties [80’s] now that many households own’s television every advert on T.V gets to influence the viewing audience.

        Because of the influence in terms of wider reach to a good number of consumers, many Companies advertise their products on television because of the many advantage that television has over other mass media channels.  Fir example.   We could agree that television  has the advantage of sound and sight over other mass-media.  The audience is able to both hear what the advertised is saying and also see the product being adversities and therefore be in a position to judge for the themselves whether to patronize the product or not.  Again television has more convincing power than other mass –media because the audience is made to see things such as the illustrations, the product  features, the attributes and other s and be able to judge for himself whether to buy to not.  The influence of television adverts have bee tremendous on the market in Nigeria.

The  influence of television adverts could be positive or negative depending on the nature of the product and the types of influence desired sometimes, the audience   or consumers may not in effect want to buy the product, but the influence of such adverts ion television would force them to rape what ever they have to make purchases.  In other words, the influence of television adverts creates the possibility t make purchases by the   consumer, whether they bargained for such purchases r not.

It has also been observed that the influence of television adverts is always more pronounced when companies out such money in their promotional budgets, such fat budgets could induce increased television adverts insertions and this increase the inducement pressures on consumers to decide whether to buy the product or not.

From the above illustration it is clear that the higher the television advert budget goes, the more quantities of Electrical bulbs sold. This confirms the points that television advertising influences sales tremendously soft –drink companies such as Coca-Cola Bottling Company.   Limca bottling company as Seven-up Bottling Company are all involved in selling more of their products through television advert.  Each of these companies employed sales promotion gimmicks for the sale of their products at different times and period through television adverts.  They employed different strategies to influenced the viewing audience and some to the then made promises to consumers tailoring their adverts to induce consumers to buy their brads of soft-drink.

        Television adverting  stated in the early 1920’s after the advert of the motion picture era in ‘USA’ through lots of people in “U.S.A” did not have access to television because it was a luxury  item then.  The people that owned television in their homes were the rich and the middle class.  So, companies that deals is Luxury goods /product took up the opportunity selected audience and it was very expansive to advertise in television then so the television advertisement was left to the  firms that deals in Luxury goods like, Fashion, Jewellers and automobile companies, while the other firms that deal in massy produced consumers products were confirmed to using the cinemas as their adverts place.  It was after the second world war that the technology for manufacturing television was improved on and the U. s. A was able to make television available to its people at a lesser cost and it television stopped been a Luxury products an most homes in the U.S.A were able to acquire television for themselves.

        Then lots of the other firms that couldn’t advertise in television then [in the 1930’s] due to its few audience were was tasking advantage o its popularity after the war to get their message across to their consumers and also they to win over more consumers for themselves.  Thing have not being the same again duce then, more and more organisation have seen the influence that television advertising has on the audience in they are now willing to spend money on television advert is more expansive than any of the other mass media adverts.

        Since the 1930’s television have been influencing people taste and behaviour and also the way they do things.  Such television has developed this influence on the audience so it is or pronounced to get your message across to the audience of television and you can be sure of influencing lots of people with your message.
