REASONS TO ADVERTISE
Advertising is such an important thing for a business to do, advertising is not just important for businesses but for things that offer services. Advertising tells people about your product or products so they can be sold. Big companies such as McDonalds and Colgate Palmolive don't need to advertise because their products are already known throughout the world, but when these two first came out they would have had to have FLAMBOYANT MBA PUGC 12
B-Admn509
spent millions of pounds on advertising to get them to the stage where they are now.
Produce leads Educate prospects about the benefits you offer Expand into new markets Influence the people who influence others (the trendsetters) Make your name known to people who have never heard of you Pre-sell your offering (prior to the sales person's call) Expand upon a public relations story Tell the story of your company Add authority to your message (by putting it into print, people equate advertising with success) Build your corporate identity Build confidence in your product/services Dispel an ugly rumor Keep your name in the forefront of your customers' minds Head off competitors Go after competitors' business Prove your quality with success stories Make your stockholders happy Assert your leadership Maintain a constant public presence Help your direct mail pay off Announce the existence of your product Gain credibility Become a brand name Establish a niche Highlight testimonials from satisfied customers Test something Create a desire to buy Make sales Obtain names for your prospect or customer mailing list Inform many people at the same time Motivate people to call or e-mail or send coupon Engage in research by studying the profiles of respondents Prove your superiority ... to earn a profit

"Advertising - Good or Bad" In today's society, one must consider Is there any advantage of advertising? In many cases it is only disadvantage - An annoying hindrance in our daily lives. It gets on our nerves, distorts the truth, and adds to the cost of the product. Advertising is designed for one purpose - to sell. To achieve this goal, advertises are willing to stretch and distort the truth, just to convincing people to buy their product. For example, an advertiser may convince buyers to purchase their product by stating that has been tested and found superior. In reality, the product is not likely to be better than any other - the tests themselves doubtlessly conducted by the promoting company - conducted to ensure at least something is superior about the product, even if it is only the color. These advertisements are worded carefully so that they are telling the "literal truth" - the truth is exactly what the words say, although people misinterprets the message by using conversational logic as something different - something better. By using ingenious tactics like these, the populace is deceived into buying a product that may not do what is required, or a product which a buyer may have never really needed. This is why advertising is a bad thing, for our society.

PURPOSE OF RESEARCH:
EFFECT OF ADVERTISEMENT ON THE BUYING BEHAVIOR OF FEMALES:
As our basic research process is concerned with the effects of advertisements on the buying behavior of females so on this regards well conduct a full research process to evaluate that how much the advertisement affects the buying behavior of females. As it is a very known saying that Customer is the king of the market Now here we believe that females are the queens of the market. As large areas of markets are occupied by the females so their buying behavior means a lot for the manufacturers. They must be very careful in their marketing strategies and should consider the females attitude towards consumption of their product. Now here our basic purpose of research is to come to the result that what are the basic things regarding to products that largely affect the buying behavior of females and how much advertising influence their buying. When well get our findings then well give very fruitful suggestions to the marketing departments of the organizations that how they can increase their sale amongst the females.

OBSERVATION:
Observation means to see or feel what certain changes are occurring or new behaviors, attitudes and feelings are surfacing.
FLAMBOYANT MBA PUGC 20
B-Admn509
Here in our project, the problem can be SITUATION REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT Because we are going to conduct the whole research process on the buying behavior of females, so situation is satisfactory as females buy more and more with the passage of time. We just want to reach at those results which tell us that which things influence the females buying. Is it advertisement, quality, appearance or any other thing? So our basic research is on a situation in which we observe the buying behavior of females having different taste, different preferences, and living in different cities of Pakistan and are of different ages.

Here we are working on a broader term that which factors influence the females buying behavior so we have to collect data from different tools to confirm our observation that which things actually influence the female buying and how much advertisement play role in their buying behavior. Primary Data can be collected by the following two ways; 1- Interviews 2- Literature Survey
1. INTERVIEWS:
Interviews are conducted for the following reasons To bring preliminary issues to the surface so that researcher can determine about variables of interest. To understand the scenario of situation. To explore the variables in the situation.
INTERVIWS MAY BE OF TWO TYPES: Structured interviews Unstructured interviews STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS: In structured interviews the interviewer asks those questions which are pre planned. All the questions are well prepared and the interviewer can easily ask the questions in a series from an appropriate Respondent. It is also called formal interview. UNSTRUCTURED INTERVIEW: In unstructured interviews normally the interviewer asks the questions without any predetermined sequence. The question which comes first in the mind of the interviewer will be asked first. It is also called informal interview. For the purpose of collecting the preliminary data about our observation, we conducted some unstructured interviews from following 2 SECTORS A. EDUCATIONAL SECTOR B. ADVERTISING AGENCY
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
EDUCATIONAL SECTOR: FROM EDUCATIONAL SECTOR WE SELECTED THE FEMALE MEMBERS OF FOLLOWING INSTITUTIONS 1. THE WELL KNOWNED FEMALE TEACHERS OF UNIVERSITY OF THE LAHORE 2. THE TEACHERS OF AN INSTITUTION, PAK AIMS IN LAHORE 3. THE FEMALE TEACHERS OF D & E ACADEMY GUJRANWALA. 4. FROM THE FEMALE STUDENTS OF UNIVERSITY OF THE LAHORE, PAK AIMS AND D & E ACADEMY. According to the structured and unstructured interviews which we have conducted to the above females, we collected the following information about our situation problem Females mostly prefer the quality of the product Advertisement effects their buying but the routine products which they use to buy from many years, from them they dont see that for which product advertisement is good. they just buy that product as routine E.g. Max bar, head & shoulders shampoo Females are more attractive towards products like cosmetics, clothing, shoes Especially working women Advertisement is also the biggest cause to influence the buying behavior of females but advertisements should be approved by the marketing departments of companies. ADVERTISING AGENCY

2. LITERATURE SURVEYS:
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
It is also a part of Primary Data Collection. The purpose of literature review is to ensure that no variable is ignored that has been consider important in the past. Literature Survey can be defined in the following manner; Documentation of comprehensive review of published and unpublished work from secondary sources of data in area of interest As far as our topic is concerned, we selected the following literatures from internet for the purpose of preliminary data collection 1) AAEC 3100 Food and Fiber Marketing Dr. Steven C. Turner Chapter 6 Analyzing Consumer Markets & Buying Behavior In which we found the following data that Major Factors which Influence the Consumer Behavior can be Cultural Social Personal Psychological 2) From the study of an article published in the site
www.csustan.edu/market/petrosky/Old3410/34Lect5CB/tsld0...
In this article we found the following things according to consumer buying behavior
Social Class People within a social class tend to exhibit similar buying behavior. Occupation SOURCE of Income Education Wealth
Values Perceptions Subculture Groups of people with shared value systems based on common life experiences. Mature Consumers
Reference Group influence: Membership Groups: Primary and Secondary Non-membership groups: Aspiration and Dissociative More important with publicly consumed products Family influences: Stage of the family lifecycle Buying Roles in the family
FLAMBOYANT

PROBLEM DEFINITION
After the preliminary data collection, we can now develop a statement to explain the basic problem.
FLAMBOYANT
MBA
PUGC
29
B-Admn509
Any gap between desired situation and actual situation is called Problem and brief statement that explains any thing is called Definition. So, Problem Definition means: A statement that explains what the real problem is, what types of factors are involved in this problem and finally what are consequences of a problem. After going through interviews and literature review we check the following essential elements of Problem Definition: 1) Antecedents(Contributing Factors) 2) Real Problem(What is Wrong) 3) Consequences(Results) The problem definition of our project can be explained with the help of following diagram: (Real situation) (Consequences) EFFECTS ON BUYING BEHAVIOUR OF FEMALES
ANTECEDENTS:
(Antecedents)
Antecedents are the contributing factors which are responsible for the real problem. In our project antecedents are
FLAMBOYANT
MBA
PUGC
30
These are the antecedents because these are the basic reasons behind the buying behavior of females. These above antecedents effects directly or indirectly to the buying behavior of females.
REAL PROBLEM:
As we know that well defined problem is half solved and symptoms are not the real problems. Real problem is that situation which results from the antecedents or contributing factors. So in our project real situation which is created from the contributing factors is: How the buying behavior of females is influencing? Which factors influence it and is the advertisement a basic factor?
CONSEQUENCES:
Consequences are the results of real problem In our project consequence is The economy will be price and quality oriented this consequence is the result of the preliminary data collection as when we conduct interviews, mostly females think that they prefer the quality from all other factors.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
It is a logical developed, described & elaborated network of associations among variables that have been identified through interviews, observation & literature survey
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
Variables:
The identification of key variables is very important in every research study. It can be defined as: A variable is anything that takes different values. Types of Variables: Dependent variable Independent variable Moderating variable Intervening variable Extraneous variable
1. Dependent variable Any variable that will depend on others for its values In our project, our dependent variable is BUYING BEHAVIOR OF FEMALES Now well explain the effect of other factors on this dependent variable in detail in our whole project. 2. Independent Variables: It is the variable on which the dependant variable depends upon for its value The major causes of a problem are called independent variables. In our project, our independent variables are: Price Quality Advertisement Purchasing power Substitutes Imported products Now in the research process well see that which are the basic most important factors which mostly influence the buying behavior of females. 3. Moderating Variable The variable which has strong contingent effect on the relationship of dependent & independent variable FLAMBOYANT MBA PUGC 33
B-Admn509
It is also called second independent variable. In our project, our moderating variables are: Role of marketing departments of the companies Above is the moderating variable because it has a strong contingent effect on the relationship of dependent variables and independent variables. As if marketing departments make the good strategies to attract the customers then they can increase their sale volume. 4. Intervening Variables There are some factors which have effect on the situation but we can not measure them quantitatively, we can just feel their effect. These variables will be created automatically by the working of independent variables. In our project intervening variables are as follows: Status consciousness Willingness to buy The effect of these variables can only be felt but we can not measure them quantitatively. These variables contribute an important role on the creation of the problem. 5. Extraneous Variables: There are infinite numbers of factors which may have impact on the situation but we will ignore these factors by assuming them as constant are called extraneous variables. In our project extraneous variable is as follows Sales tax As sales tax has little effect on the buying behavior so it can be easily ignored

HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT
A hypothesis is a logically conjectured relationship between two or more variables expressed in the form of a testable statement. OR A statement whose validity will be confirm in future by applying different statistical tools So, in hypothesis we confirmed the validity of any statement after the experiments or data collection.
KINDS OF HYPOTHESIS:
DESCRIPTIVE RELATIONAL This can be further classified as o Co relational hypothesis o Casual hypothesis. Co relational Hypothesis: When a statement will create relationship among more than two factors or when causes of a problem are more than one, the hypothesis about such a problem will be called as co relational hypothesis. OR When there is only one problem and there are a lot of factors or variables which Increase the problem is also called Co relational Hypothesis. In our study there is the situation of buying behavior of females and there are many independent variables which influence the buying behavior of females. Now we will check the relationship amongst those variables by creating the Hypothesis and applying certain Statistical tools which will tell us that which factor is strongly in connection with the buying behavior of females.
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
So the following is the creation of Hypothesis of different factors that affect the buying behavior of females Female preferences: H: females do not prefer quality of the product while buying H1: females prefer quality of the products while buying. Influence of advertisements: H: Advertisement has no influence on the buying behavior of females H1: advertisement has influence on the buying behavior of females. Status consciousness H: females do not prefer status/self image while buying. H1: females prefer status/ self image while buying. Negative effects of advertisements: H: there is not any negative effect of advertisement on the buying behavior of females H1: there is any negative effect on the buying behavior of females. Advertisements of substitutes: H: advertisements of the substitutes do not affect the popularity of the product. H1: advertisements of the substitutes affect the popularity of the product. Imported goods: H: imported good are not more attractive for females H1: imported goods are more attractive for females. Satisfaction level: H: good advertisements are not the basic cause of satisfaction of females towards consumption of goods. H1: good advertisements are the basic cause of satisfaction of females towards consumption of goods. Advertised products: H: females do not prefer the advertised products on necessities of life H1: females prefer the advertised products on the necessities of life. Product success or failure: H: advertisements can not become the cause of any product success or failure. H1: advertisements can become the cause of product failure or success. Demand of the product: H: advertisements cannot create the demand of any product. H1: advertisements can create the demand of any product. FLAMBOYANT MBA PUGC 38

RESEARCH DESIGN:
It is a major and pivotal step of business research. The step involves the overall scheme about data collection. Research design is a plan and structure of investigation to obtain answer to research question. It is overall scheme and program of research which includes an outline of what the researcher will do from developing hypothesis and to the final analysis of data. Research design constitutes the blue print for collection, measurement and analysis of data. R.D is plan and structure of investigation to obtain answer to research questions.
PURPOSE OF STUDY
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
PURPOSE OF STUDY:
In the purpose of study, researcher defines the purpose behind the research. These may be 4 types of purposes: 1. exploration 2. description 3. hypothesis 4. case study Here in our research process, our purpose of study is to evaluate that WHAT affects the females buying behavior, WHICH are the factors, which influence the buying behavior of females, HOW advertisements affect the buying behavior of females. So we can say that as we are explaining an existing situation so our purpose of study is Description. Objective of descriptive study is to learn the who, how, what, when, where of a topic.
TYPES OF INVESTIGATIONS:
Investigation is conducted to complete the research process efficiently. Investigations may be of two types: 1. casual investigation 2. co relational investigation CO RELATIONAL INVESTIGATION: The investigation which is conducted to explain the effect of different variables on the situation is called co relational investigation. In simple words, we can say that when there are more than one reasons of a problem it is called co relational investigation. In our research process, Our type of investigation is Non Casual because there is more than one reason which influences the buying behavior of females.
FLAMBOYANT

B-Admn509
RESEARCHER INTERFERENCE:
In researcher interference we see that which type of study is going to be conduct by our group. Either it is 1. co relational study, in which minimum involvement of researcher is required because it is based on findings of others, or 2. Casual study, in which researcher involvement is more. As we are conducting research through the findings of others so our involvement is minimum in the findings of research.
STUDY SETTING:
It means in which type of environment weve conducted our research process. The study setting may be of 2 types: a. Contrived This can be further classified as o Lab experiment. b. non-contrived This can also be further classified as o Field study. o Field experiment. Non-contrived: When the research is conducted in natural or normal environment, it will be called non contrived study. Normally, this type of study is conducted inside the organization. Field Study: When the researcher has to co related the factors then investigation out side the organization is called as Field Study. So, the type of our study setting is non-contrived and during our research we also conducted Field Study.

UNIT OF ANALYSIS:
It is aggregation of data during subsequent analysis. Data can be gathered form: Individuals Dyads Groups Organizations It depends upon the nature of problem that is being investigated. In our research process, weve gathered the data from INDIVIDUALS in the form of questionnaires and from ORGANIZATIONS in the form of interviews.
TIME HORIZON:
In which we mention that how much time weve used in data collection. Time horizon has two types 1. cross-sectional 2. longitudinal Longitudinal study: As In Longitudinal method the whole data is collected again and again with out any time interval. So in our research time horizon is Longitudinal.
SAMPLING:
The process of using a small number of items or parts of a large population to make conclusions about the whole population The basic purpose of sampling is; To obtain maximum information about the characteristics of population with in less time, cost and effort There are two types or styles of Sampling. That is Probability Sampling Non Probability Sampling
FLAMBOYANT

PUGC
43
B-Admn509
WHERE PROBABILITY SAMPLING CONTAINS: 1. Complex random sampling This further can be classify as o Systematic Sampling o Stratified Sampling o Cluster Sampling o Area Sampling o Double Sampling 2. simple random sampling AND NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS: 1. Convenient sampling 2. purposive sampling o judgment approach o quota approach here in our research process, weve done the complex random sampling under the head of probability sampling in which weve used the CLUSTER SAMPLING APPROACH in which sample is chosen on the basis of intra- group heterogeneity and inter-group homogeneity. As we are comparing here the females with females so our sampling criteria is inter-group homogeneity.

Structured Interview: Structured Interviews are conducted when it is known at the outset what information is needed. The interviewer has a list of pre-determined questions to be asked of the respondents either personally, through the telephone, or by sending the main through electronic mail. Un-Structured Interview: In case of unstructured interview, the interviewer asks the questions without any pre-determined sequence. Those questions are asked first which come in the mind of the interviewer first. So we conducted Structured Interviews with the employees of different selected organizations. And our method of collecting Primary Data is through Structured Interviews and Un-structured Interviews which we have already discussed in preliminary data collection methods. Unobtrusive measures: It means to trace the measures from a primary source that does not involve people. In the primary data collection, we also use this technique by just observing the buying behavior of females of our homes and near our homes.

Questionnaire:
A questionnaire is a reformulated written set of questions to which respondents record their answers, usually within rather closely defined alternatives. Questionnaires are an efficient data collection mechanism when the researcher knows exactly what is required and how to measure the variables of interest. Questionnaire can be administered personally, mailed to respondents, or electronically distributed. During our research process we made close ended questionnaires, and these are personally administered.
MEASUREMENT OF MEASURES:
Measurement of measures is a key step in research design; it means to measure the information collected from different respondents by different ways by using different methods of data collection, to check the accuracies and reliability of data or information collected. It is also called the MOM of research.
Scale:
Scale is a tool by which the individual units are distinguished on the basis of variable of interest in some meaningful way. We can say that scales will categories the things into different groups. Types of Scales a) Nominal Scale b) Ordinal Scale c) Interval Scale d) Ratio Scale APPROACHES OF SCALING: a) b) c) Dictorious scaling. Category scaling. Likert scaling.

CONCLUSIONS
The purpose of our research is to find out the female behaviors towards the buying of the products and also to see that how much advertising affects the buying behavior of females. The basic purpose of our research is to get information from females and then suggest to the companies that what they can do maximum to improve their selling. Is advertisement is the biggest tool they have to attract the females towards their products or there are some other factors as well which have the affects more than advertisements. So for this purpose we planned a full fledge research process and for this purpose we did the cluster sampling and made the questionnaires to fill from the sample group to come to the conclusions. After collecting the data we analyzed it and made some conclusions based on findings. We have found that females prefer the quality of the product at very first stage. Now days females are very intelligent, they know that advertisements and appearances of the products may be fake and can perceive them so they firstly check the quality of the product and then buy that product in the routine. As we conducted the whole research from the very qualified females living in good areas so their responses are very effective for our research process. The over all trend was seen in the questionnaires regarding to the quality of the products so which means females do not compromise with the quality. People have mixed results about the advertisements of the products. On the one hand it also highly influences the buying behavior of females due to attractive Medias, different types, innovations in slogans but on the other hand it also has some negative effects as well. If a good advertisement can become the cause of the success of any product then a bad advertisement can become the cause of failure of any product. More over advertisements can effect negatively and also positively to the children. They can perceive any thing from the ads so advertisements should be much ethical and good for the children and teenagers.

Further more according to females, the marketing departments should make the advertisements better through new and unique strategies if they want to increase their sale and want to use the advertisement a big tool to increase their sale volume.
RECOMMENDATIONS
After getting the conclusions of our research, we want to give some recommendations to the marketing departments of the companies so that they can focus on those things through which they can increase their sale volume amongst the females. As females mostly prefer the quality of the products so they should highly focus on the quality of their products. Advertisement can do any thing, it can create the demand of any product but the advertising strategies should be effective so that females believe on these ads and buy the products so advertising should be: Truth full Relevant And rewarding Here we suggest you the ten steps to make advertising successful
1. Narrow your market to a specific group of prospective clients. Find your niche market. 2. Analyze your media. Does it appeal to your niche market? If it does, tailor your ads to relate directly to your media. 3. Appeal to the impulse in the viewers of your ad. Call your readers to action * now*... Emphasize the benefits which a consumer will get after purchasing your product. Offer something free in the ad itself. 4. Use other medias as well for creating more demand of your products. Analyze the advertising strategies of others. 5. Design "killer" headings (slogans). Use new and interesting techniques while designing a message for your product. 6. Use different famous celebrities to become the more attractive advertisement. 7. Use realistic facts and figures in your ads so that the customers become more loyal towards your product. 8. Repeat again and again your advertisements so that the advertisement of your product can continuously be seen by customers. 9. Clearly define all the attributes of the product so that customers also believe that this product has also a good quality.
