Question 2

Brush Strokes is an art supply store located in a town with a population of about 100,000 people. The town is also home to a major State University. Brush Strokes gets a majority of its business from the student population. It uses the services of a local full-service advertising agency to promote themselves. A large part of its marketing budget has been used in running small advertisements in the local and school newspapers at the beginning of each term. The advertising agency is now recommending that Brush Strokes devote a majority of its budget to running television spots during broadcasts of the University's football and basketball games. While the owners of Brush Strokes agree that they could be doing a better job of reaching a larger portion of the student population, they have not come to any conclusions about the best way to accomplish this. The owners of Brush Strokes are concerned that their agency may be recommending television advertising because it would be profitable for the agency. Brush Strokes can avoid paying for ineffective advertising campaigns by changing to a system of compensation.
