SOCIAL MEDIA MINI CASE: In the summer of 2013, Kraft Foods' annual tour of the Oscar
Mayer Wienermobiles became a cross-country road rally called the Wienermobile Run.
Consumers were encouraged to follow the promotion on social media like Facebook, Instagram
and Twitter and share messages about the Wienermobile Run with their friends. The men and
women who drove the six Wienermobiles, also known as Hotdoggers, were divided into teams.
Each team's vehicle had its own name. Teams raced around the country to accumulate points.
Drivers performed tasks or challenges submitted by the public on a website,
wienermobilerun.com. The goal was to get consumers to engage on a deeper level with the
Wienermobiles by introducing games in order to take advantage of a trend toward gamification.
They also allowed consumers to use social media to request the Wienermobiles show up at their
events to give consumers a more visceral experience with the vehicles.

70) In the SOCIAL MEDIA MINI CASE, when consumers shared the messages about the
Wienermobile Run with their friends, it was an example of ________.

B) owned social media
C) earned social media

100) What are the advantages of impression-based targeting (relative to segment-based


targeting)?
Answer:
1. Advertisers employing segment-based promotion invariably pay for reaching people who are
neither inclined to buy their products when they see the ads nor likely to become future
customers, and who also tune out advertisements for products they are not interested in.
Impression-based targeting enables marketers to identify which advertising expenditures are
wasted and design messages that reach primarily, but not even fully or close to it, receivers
whose characteristics match the marketers' targets.
2. In addition to being mostly "one-size-fits-all," messages sent via traditional media are one-
way communications and the consumers who receive them cannot interact with their contents. In
contrast, receivers of impression-based ads can view and rotate images, click on links for
detailed information about the products, compare brands, and much more.
3. According to the communications model, consumers' responses to ads represent feedback or
measures of the ads' effectiveness. Feedback from ads placed in traditional media is delayed and
often of limited use. On the other hand, receivers' interest in impression-based ads can be
determined immediately by observing the elements they click on within the ads, how long they
stay at the website and how often they return, among other measures discussed later on in this
chapter.
4. Consumers can easily escape TV ads by "time shifting," which is starting to watch a show
about fifteen minutes after it begins and using devices that allow them to skip commercials
easily.

Answer: (1) Profiles are the ways in which consumers tell others about themselves (their age,
personality and interests). (2) Friends are trusted members of the social network used. They are
allowed to post comments that designated members of the network can read. The networks allow
users to keep tabs on what their friends are doing online (posting pictures or updating profiles).
(3) Groups within social networks help users find people with similar interests. (4) Social
networks create interactions among group members via discussion boards and by allowing
members to post pictures, music, video clips, and other tidbits for the groups' members to view.
(5) Consumers must have opt-ins and opt-outs that allow them to control the information that
they share with friends and the information they receive from others.

Answer: (1) Social media campaigns must be planned together with advertising in traditional
media. (2) Marketers must consider the fact that social media reaches, simultaneously, several
audiences (i.e., consumers, retailers, and other parties with whom the company does business),
which justifies larger advertising budgets. (3) Executives should closely examine consumers'
clicks on the "like" buttons and "mine" data from their Facebook pages in order to develop new
niches for their products (sometimes with partners in other product categories). (4) Bosses who
Tweet personally strengthen the connections between their brands and customers. (5) Employees
should be encouraged to Tweet, but guidelines for such communications must be set and
monitored for compliance. However, research suggests than many CEOs resent (and even fear)
using Twitter.

105) Identify and briefly describe the four types of value mobile devices provide to users.
Answer: Mobile devices provide four types of value to users: (1) Monetary value: the device
provides good value for the money that also exceeds the value consumers receive from using
non-mobile communication devices; (2) Convenience value: saving time and money, efficiency,
and making life easier; (3) Emotional value: feeling good and relaxed when using the device; and
(4) Social value: being accepted by others and impressing them. The results indicated that the
higher the values that consumers receive from mobile devices, the more likely they are to use
them to purchase products and engage in word-of-mouth about what they had bought.

106) Identify the characteristics of mobile ads.


Answer: 1. Mobile marketers are spending most of their money on search ads. 2. Marketers have
been creating mobile ads that are fun, pay rewards and help customers find useful information
(e.g., referrals). 3. As smartphone screens become larger, marketers began using mobile ads that
take over the entire screen. 4. Some mobile marketers have been experimenting with inserting
ads in places where consumers do not expect to see any in an effort to overcome consumers'
tuning out promotional messages. For example, Facebook and Twitter have slipped ads into the
flow of digital conversations. Some models of the Kindle e-reader display messages for local
services whether users use the device or let it "go to sleep." 5. Many advertisers use banner ads
on mobile device screens because such ads are cheap, although most recognize that consumers
find banners annoying.

available and determine which ones to use in order to achieve the objectives. 3. Produce the
campaign's content using internal or external resources. 4. Examine the pricing models for
securing access to social media, which, unlike buying advertising space on traditional print and

108) Identify and briefly describe four of the nine metrics used to analyze websites' visits.
Answer: Answers will vary. They should include four of the following:
1. Unique visitors: this measure consists of the number of visitors to the website that have
accessed its content. User profiles (based on their web addresses) are also monitored.
2. Cost per unique visitor: the total cost of placing the application or ad divided by the number
of unique visitors.
3. Return visits: this measure consists of the average number of times a user returns to the site
within a specific period.
4. Time spent: the average amount of time from the start of the visit until the end of the last
activity on the page.
5. Page views: the average number of pages that users have clicked through.
6. Interaction rate: the proportion of viewers who interact with an ad or application.
7. The actions taken during visits such as: entering contests, responding to polls' questions,
redeeming coupons, playing games, posting comments, sending messages, inviting friends and
downloading or uploading materials and applications.
8. Conversation-related measures include the number of unique visitors participating, the
number of links related to the conversation that participants reach during the conversation, the
duration between the first and last posts during the conversation, and the average number of time
between posts.
9. Measuring the visitors' demographics: (1) Examining how the target audience navigates
around the site and which demographic profiles have the most engagement; (2) Evaluating
whether the content created is a good match with the users and whether it converts many into
buyers; and (3) Determining how to improve the sell rate and reduce the cost per impression.
