Marketing ‘noise’ is any marketing communications strategy that can get the attention of the target market to the product or service being marketed or sold. Ordinarily, there are tried and true strategies to create this attention-getting ‘noise.’ Advertising (tri-media campaign of print, radio, and television ads), promotional activities, PR/public relations that usually takes the form of press releases, and collateral materials and activities such as point-of-sale materials and special events and media hype for the product.

In the midst of several advertising campaigns for several products in competition, the advertising message that is most noticed is the honest and simple campaign. The product is the message. An honest and genuinely good product is its own advertising. No amount of advertising noise can be noticed and believable if the product or service is inherently inferior.

Another important consideration in making advertising ‘noise’ effective is to make sure that the message fits its target audience. This has a lot to do with a substantive knowledge of the target market. If the advertising is based on solid research of the target market, there is a bigger chance for the advertising or marketing message to achieve the attention of the market it is intended for.
