Facing stiff competition from Walmart and K-mart, executives for Target stores have decided to focus on reaching more affluent shoppers and luring them away from traditional department stores. They have already expanded the products and brands they offer to include reasonably priced items by modern design masters. Target hopes to draw more affluent shoppers into its stores through a series of advertising campaigns that are presently in the planning stages. Most of the advertising budget will be directed to ads in regional luxury magazines, which, research shows, are frequently read by affluent individuals. Another magazine ad designed for Target's new campaign shows a well-dressed shopper pushing her loaded Target cart to her Jaguar, showing satisfaction in the parking lot as she spots another consumer loading Target shopping bags into her Jaguar. Which objective is this ad hoping to achieve?
 a. To instill brand preference
  b. To change the actual experience through ad visuals
  c. To situate the brand socially
  d. To change behavior by inducing anxiety

Question 2

In 2006, gaming giant Nintendo launched an innovative motion-sensing gaming console called the Wii. The Wii quickly took over as the leading gaming console because of its unique activity-enabling qualities, and for nearly four years, dominated hardware sales in the gaming industry as any true competition for the product was yet to be introduced. However, this changed in late 2010 as Sony introduced its own motion-detecting gaming system to the market, the Playstation Move. Sony has marketed the product as a superior product to Nintendo's, claiming that it is more precise and flaunts the Playstation's high-quality graphics. Sony's Move has been a topic of great debate, but the reception of the product over the long haul is yet to be seen. To dethrone the Wii, Sony will need to find a way to appeal to those that have not yet bought into motion-gaming.. And of course, it wouldn't hurt if Sony somehow found a way to entice Nintendo followers to switch over to its newest addition to the gaming industry. If Sony uses advertisements that focus on the niche characteristics of Move that Wii does not have, the company is using:
 a. external positioning.
  b. institutional advertising.
  c. brand extension.
  d. internal positioning.
