Displaying benefits in your promotions

Over the last several weeks in television commercials, Kia Motors has shown the benefit of their lower vehicle prices in terms that are both timely for many in their target market and with clear imagery.

You may recall seeing Kia advertsiements for their Sportage and Rio 2008 models that highlight safety, features and warranty but really trumpet how much each is priced less than leading competitors. What makes these ads effective is how the savings are shown... Kia shows how many grocery carts full of food the savings would buy (and several thousand dollars will buy quite a few carts full of food).


In a time when consumers are feeling the pinch of high gas prices (approaching $4 per gallon) on their household budgets, Kia leaves no doubt about what the savings from their vehicle prices can mean for the buyer. A picture is truly worth a thousand words.

The commercials will be added to this post when available.
