Found that an advertising campaign increased/improved consumers' awareness of farm-raised catfish (15%) , attitudes toward it (3-6%) and purchases of it (12-13%). Factual content of the ads had less impact on behavior than the mere presence of the ads.
Revealed evidence that most of the observed change in egg demand between 1987 and 1995 could be explaind b y dietary cholesterol concerns. Advertising efforts resulted in net benefits to egg producers.
17 pages., Analysis revealed that the United Sorghum Checkoff Program (USCP) promotion programs, 1975-76 to 2015-16, resulted in a 4% increase in the sales value of sorghum for food and industrial uses and a 1% increase in total sorghum farm revenue. The farm-level benefit-cost ratio was estimated at between 5.8 and 7.1 in terms of producer profit per dollar spent on promotion.

Notes:
Presented at the annual meeting of the American Agricultural Economics Association, Denver, Colorado, August 1-4, 2004. 24 pages., High increases in media advertising costs have caused a shift away from generic advertising to other promotional activities. A relatively new retail-level promotional activity is the Dairy Case Management Program aimed at improving the management, appearance, and operation of the dairy case. An evaluation of the Northwestern Hudson Valley Market program demonstrated increases in sales volume for both supermarkets/mass merchants and convenience/drug stores. However, the value of volume gains compared with program costs indicates a cost recovery time of over two years. Therefore, program success depends on the implementation of a long-run strategy with continual evaluation.
