Hizmet Reklamlarında Kuramsal Yaklaşımlar ve Uygulama Farklılıkları: Türkiye'de Hizmet Reklamlarına İlişkin Bir İçerik Analizi

Hizmetlerin dokunulmaz ve soyut nitelikleri fiziksel mallara göre farklı reklam stra­tejileri gerektirmektedir. Hizmet pazarlaması konusunda çalışan akademisyenler hizmet­leri tüketicinin zihninde daha somutlaştırmak için hizmet reklamları hakkında çeşitli yö­netsel çerçeveler önermişlerdir. Hizmetle ilgili fiziksel kanıtlar sunmak, belge sağlamak, semboller kullanmak, müşteri ve personel etkileşimini göstermek bu öneriler arasındadır. Ancak çeşitli araştırmalar; uygulamadaki reklam stratejileri ile kuramsal önerilerin her zaman örtüşmediğıni göstermektedir. Bu araştırmada içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak bir yıllık bir dönemdeki hizmet reklamları incelenmiştir. Capital Dergisi'nin 12 sayısında yer alan 133 reklamın içeriği; fiyat bilgisi, kalite iddiası, sembol kullanımı, başlık, çekici­lik türü, web adresi yanı sıra personelin, müşterinin, müşteri- personel etkileşiminin, fi­ziksel kanıtların ve sembollerin kullanımı açısından analiz edilmiştir.

Theoretical Approaches to Services Advertising and the Differences in Practice: A Content Analysis of Services Advertising in Turkey

In this research services advertising are analyzed by content analysis. 133 services advertisements that appeared in 12 issues of Capital Journal are chosen for analysis. The content of the advertisements are analyzed in terms of price information, quality claim, use of symbols, headline, advertising appeal, availability of web address, personnel, customer, personnel and customer interaction and availability of physical evidences.
