Does your bologna have a first name?

This is a piece written by a good friend and one of the best branding people I know.  Thought I would share:


The Power of Music! By Bill Turpen, CEO, Advanced Concepts, Inc.
The real goal of advertising is to have your ad’s be remembered long after they have been seen or heard. The chances that someone will drop everything they are doing to act on your ad immediately are unrealistic, so being remembered after the ad’s are over is critical. Some advertisers yell at the top of their lungs to try to get your attention, some use lavish graphics, crazy voices, chicken suits, sound effects, special offers, some even try to copy successful national ad’s. But one of the best ways to make sure your message is remembered is by using music. In the advertising world it’s called a JINGLE! Having a good jingle for your business can virtually guarantee listeners will be singing your song which helps them remember you when they need what you offer.
The beauty of utilizing a jingle for your business is not only the memory component, but the ability to incorporate a jingle in all aspects of a company’s marketing efforts from TV and radio ads to telephone on-hold systems to website usage to ringtones on mobile devices and more, basically anywhere audio can be used. A jingle even translates into print media giving those ads more pop! For example, McDonald’s utilizes billboards with nothing but the golden arches logo and the words “I’m Lovin’ It!” It works and helps reinforce the marketing campaign because we’ve all heard the “I’m Lovin’ It!” jingle thousands of times.


The bottom line is that listeners will learn your jingle regardless of whether they are interested in your business, your products, your offer, etc. We naturally learn music and remember music without any effort or choice. Did you really mean to learn and remember how to spell bologna? Yes, Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!
