    Advertisement Overview: iPhone 5

    Wiz ards of Bart er

    PROS:

    Extremely high focus on product benefits, features High utility focus and exhibition of innovative usage. Scores high on just focusing on product innovation and WOW factor

    CONS:

    Absence of graphic delight with respect to advertisement No specific tagline or metaphor that can recall the brand Extremely product specific, a big turn off for Indian Consumers. Highlt technical ad e.g. Product dimensions are mentioned. Fails to click with female audience.

    Microsoft Surface
    PROS:

    Highly engrossing advertisements with catchy visuals Effective use of soundtrack to engage the customer and raise the inquisitive quotient. Superb use of metaphor for e.g. Dropping of ball bearings on the keyboard to show the feather light touch. Very high focus on product than product attributes Appears very stylish, cool and appeals to a large audience that is ,males as well as females

    CONS:

    Fails to showcase the product features in details which can prove deal

    clincher
    Absence of any innovative positioning appears to be just another

    tablet.
    Lacks the portrayal of different innovative features that are

    incorporated in the product

    Advertisement Analysis-Who is the Winner ???


    Keeping in mind the Indian sensibilities that is now evolving, Indian Wiz consumers does not look only for product benefits or features while watching ards an advertisements .The overall experience should seem to be appealing for of him/her (especially her!!) for then to be actually spurred on to consider and Bart makeer a purchase. Also an advertisement should be an larger than life experience, something which surpasses the tangible utility of the product and focuses on the effective appeal or the personality that the product would impart to the user on getting associated with it. Thus in spite of Iphone 5 having very high end features and slick design, Microsoft Surface scores just on the sheer power and the appeal with which the product has been showcased and presented. A perfect example of what a good advertisement an do and what a mediocre cannot!!
