Abstract

We are all bombarded, each day, with a plethora of communications messages from newspapers, radio and television, posters, shop displays, mail‐shots, commercial vehicles and other increasingly ingenious methods. When planning a marketing campaign, how do you ensure that your commercial message cuts through the defence mechanisms of scepticism and indifference?
