4 TARGET MARKET AND AUDIENCE The IXUS 400 digital camera is targeted for the personal market. The personal market is one of the four categories used by Canon in classifying their full range of products. The other three categories are business, industry and others (Canon 2003a; Appendix 5).
The Digital IXUS 400 is priced in a mid-range budget and designed with metallic body features with a scratch-resistant finishing, produced with ease of use in mind (Canon 2003c). All these features suggest that the target audience is not determined by gender. Target age group for product is probably for people of 18 years and above, in the working class with regular income, but are not professional photographers. These mean that the target audience is:
Camera Users and Amateur Photographers. Anyone who uses or needs to use a camera for any purpose. Examples are leisure or business travellers and outdoor or indoor activities photo takers. Canon provides professional digital cameras under the EOS D camera series. This means that IXUS 400 is targeted at non-professional photographers (Canon 2002, p.21).
Corporate Communications. People in marketing, corporate communications, or public relations, who provide written articles and pictures for newsletters, magazines, brochures in electronically or print media.
5 Mass Media. Providers or users of mass media for production in print, broadcast, Internet, or on CD. An example is an advertising firm that takes photographs of products for incorporating to print or website advertisements.
Web Authors. Content providers for web sites and home pages, including people who maintain their own personal home pages on the web.
Publishers. People dealing with any form of publication, which include pictures for use as part of contents.
Service Bureaus. Service providers of imaging solutions, including digital photograph imaging, digital printing, CD writing, and desktop publishing.
Customers. These may be consumers or people who buy cameras for others to use as a tool. An example is a school that buys a camera for use by students in mass communication study projects.
CREATIVE WORK PLAN The aim of the creative work plan is to identify the strategies used to convey the advertising message to its audiences. These include creative strategy, copywriting and art direction.

6 Message Strategy The approach used in the Canon Digital IXUS 400 advertisement message strategy emphasises on the Reason Why? (TMC 2000, p.2-7). This approach uses the rational, logical way where information of the product is given and reasons why they are better than others (TMC 2000, p.2-7).
Creative Strategy The creative strategy used for the advertisement is Unique SellingProposition (TMC 2000, p.2-5), which emphasises on brand differentiation and encompasses superiority claim based on unique physical feature or benefit. This approach is particularly useful when the point of difference in the product cannot be readily match by competitors. In the case of Canon digital cameras, the DIGIC technology is a unique point in the product that differentiates from all other brands of digital cameras. Because of this uniqueness, the advertisement is able to provide a strong persuasive advantage over competitors products.
Copywriting The copy strategy of the advertisement uses the A-I-D-A formula: Attention, Interest, Desire, Action (TMC 2000, p.4-8; Jefkins 1985, pp.139140). To implement this strategy effectively, the following tactics have been employed:
Words. The use of verbs, present tense, personal pronouns, factsspecific information and messages that inspire confidence (TMC 2000,
7 pp.4-8, 4-9). These may be seen in the informative nature of the advertisement in providing product specifications, the use of you to identify who the message is for, the inspirational message of superiority as in best-selling, exceptional photo accuracy, digitally powered, powered by DIGIC, digital excellence and superior photo quality, and the provision of all necessary information on the product, including material and technology used, product features and where you to obtain more information.
Illustration. The focal point of the advertisement that aims to draw the audiences attention and provide the basis for the written copy (TMC 2000, p.4-9; Jefkins 1985, pp.146-147).
Headline. The best-selling Digital IXUS is now even more powerful! communicates the key piece of news about the brand and emphasises the brand claim (TMC 2000, p.4-10). It provides the reader with the first solid information, which determines whether the readers interest is aroused to read the rest of the advertisement (TMC 2000, p.4-9; Jefkins 1985, pp.133-134).
Subhead. Introducing the 4-megapixel Digital IXUS 400, powered by DIGIC for exceptional photo accuracy extents the headline by providing its claim of superiority and explaining the technology powering the exceptional photo quality.
8 Body Copy. Straight-line copy explains in straightforward terms why a reader will benefit from use of a brand (TMC 2000, p.4-11). This approach aims to provide information of the product competitive edge over other brands, so as to influence purchasing decisions and instill desire and action. This is seen in the product specific information approach in the advertisement that is without association with signifiers or signs.

A weakness in the advertisement is the lack of association of the illustration with the size of the camera. By looking at the camera image, there is no
10 way to know its size. There is also no information available on the cameras dimension in the advertisement copy.
MEDIA PLAN The purpose of media planning is to guide the selection and use of media in achieving the fundamental objectives of the reach, frequency, continuity and cost of advertisement (TMC 2000, p.1-4). To determine the objectives, a look at what, who, where, when, why and how will be necessary.
What. What types of media is used for the advertisement? The Canon digital camera advertisement is found in printed media, on the Internet and in outdoor media.
Who. The target audience. See earlier section of this documentation for information.
Where. For print media, full-page advertisement on the right-hand side is found in the Straits Times and TODAY newspapers. For the Internet, the advertisement is found at Canons corporate website. For the outdoor media, poster advertisements are found displayed next to bus stops at selected places on the main roads.
When. For the print media, the advertisement is found on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. For the Internet, the frequency is as long as it wants and for outdoors, it is for a period of several months.
Why. Why use print media? The print media is used because newspapers remain the key advertising medium that receive the highest
11 ratings of reach about fifty per cent of the overall advertising media (AC Nielson 2000). How. How to determine success or failure of campaign? By factoring cost against sales returns and product awareness through market research and accounting statistics.
EVALUATION An evaluation on the advertising campaign through the use of market research and information from financial reports shows successful results in the sales and awareness of the product:
Sales of Digital Cameras. Camera sales expanded by 27.4 per cent to US$4,048 million, owing mainly to rapid rise in sales of digital cameras (Canon 2002, p.2).
Product Awareness. Unprompted survey conducted by Readers Digest on brand quality, value, trustworthiness, image and understanding of customer needs identify Canon as the SuperBrand Gold award winner for five consecutive years (Canon 2003d; Readers Digest 2003).

The results of the survey conducted by Readers Digest in which Canon was awarded the brand leader providing quality, value and trustworthiness suggests that the image of the company and its brand has successful been retained in the audiences minds. The increase of sales suggests that the advertisement successfully reaches its targeted audience. These mean that the correct medium has been used for the advertisement.
12 COMPETITIVE BRANDS Advertisements of competitive brands for digital cameras can be found in Appendix 2 and 3 of this documentation. This include:
Casio Exilim EX-S3 Olympus C-50 Zoom
Both competitors products are of similar price range with Canon Digital IXUS 400. Casios digital Exilim EX-S3 camera which cost the least of the three, offers their own unique features a larger LCD screen and a slim body, which Canon Digital IXUS 400 do not possess. Olympus EX-S3 cost about the same price as IXUS 400, but offers 5-megapixel image quality in comparison to Canons 4-megapixel.
CONCLUSION The advertisement analysis of Canon Digital IXUS 400 camera shows the many areas of consideration that needs to be determined in order to yield a successful result for an advertising campaign. These include determining the aims and objectives, the gathering of product and services information, the approach to use for the creative work plan, the what, who, when, where, why and how of the media plan, and the competitors brands and product features. Based on the evaluated assessment, the advertisement shows a successful advertising campaign that meets its objectives in increasing sales and awareness of the product.
