• Russell Colley (1961) developed a model forsetting advertising objectives and measuring theresults. This model was entitled ‘Defning
Advertising Goals or Measured AdvertisingResults- DAGMAR.
• DAGMAR !odel suggests that the ultimateobjective of advertising must carry a consumer
through four levels of understanding: from una"areness to A"arenessthe consumermust !rst be aware of a brand or company"omprehensionhe or she must have acomprehension of what the product is and its
bene!ts# "onvictionhe or she must arrive at themental disposition or conviction to buy the brand#Action!nally$ he or she actually buy that product.

• A"areness
• A"areness of the e%istence of a productor organi&ation is necessary before the
purchase behaviour can be e%pected. 'ncethe a"areness has been created in thetarget audience$ it should not be neglected.(f there is neglect$ the audience maybecome distracted by competing messagesand the level of awareness of focus productor organi&ation will decline.
•A"areness needs to be created$developed$ re!ned or sustained$ accordingto the characteristics of the mar)et and theparticular situation facing an organi&ation
at any one point of time

• (n situations where:
• #uyer e$%erien&es 'ig' involve!ent
• (s fully aware of a product*s e%istence$ attention andawareness levels need only be sustained and e+orts need
to be applied to other communication tas)s.• sales promotion and personal selling are more e+ective at
informing$ persuading and provo)ing consumption of anew car or any other product once advertising hascreated the necessary levels of awareness.
• The ,G golden eye ads that are repeatedly shown in spiteof high awareness to ensure top of mind awareness andretain the e%isting awareness levels.
• -here low levels of awareness are found$ getting
attention needs to be the prime objective in order thatawareness can be developed among the target audience.
• Adeuate attention is reuired and awareness levels areraised with use of well/)nown and trusted celebrities

• #uyer e$%erien&es lo" involve!ent
• (f buyers have su0cient level of awareness$ they will beuic)ly prompted into purchase with little assistance ofthe other elements of the mi%. The reuirement in such a
situation would be to re!ne and strengthen the level ofawareness so that it provo)es interest and stimulatesgreater involvement during recall or recognition.
• Parle G ad that talks about it being the largest seller .Parle G as a brand already enjoys high levels ofawareness and requires low involvement decision, thus
communication is mainly intended to rene awareness.
• (f buyers have low level of awareness$ the primeobjective has to be to create awareness of the focus
product in association with the product class.• When coils were popular in use and then the dierent
repellants entered the market, awareness had to becreated about their benets and use.

• Co!%re'ension
• Awareness on its own may not be su0cientto stimulate a purchase. 1nowledge about
the product or the organi&ation is necessary. This can be achieved by providing speci!cinformation about )ey brand attributes.
• !n attempting to persuade people to try a
dierent brand of water, it may be necessaryto compare the product with other mineralwater products and provide an additionalusage benet, such as environmental claims."he ad of Ganga mineral water, featuringGovinda, which banked on the purity aspect."hey related the purity of the water with thatof river Ganga.

• Convi&tion
• The ne%t step is to establish a sense of
conviction. 2y creating interest and preference$buyers are moved to a position where they areconvinced that a particular product in the classshould be tried at the ne%t opportunity. To dothis$ audience*s beliefs about the product haveto be moulded and this is often done throughmessages that demonstrate the product*ssuperiority over a rival or by tal)ing about therewards as a result of using the product.
