uANNON V, Real ^ 4,000 One-Minute Spots 52 WEEKS Year Round Campaign COPY APPROACH Tailored For Each Market MILK PROD" Philadelphia and New York, each get special treatment, Mr. Zlowe says. First, the market for yogurt in each city is in a different stage of development. Dannon was introduced to Boston only last November. The product is going into its third year in Philadelphia. After 18 years in Ne-\v York, the market is fairly well advanced. Secondly, Dannon was faced with different market conditions when it introduced the product into the cities. A market for the product did not exist in New^ York. In both Boston and Philadelphia, competitors had already created a small market for themselves \vhen Dannon arrived. Thirdly, Zlowe was able to apply its previous experience to each of the markets. The experience it gained in New York has affected its decisions in Philadelphia.

In Boston, w-e are doing an educational job — explaining what yogurt is and what its merits are. In Philadelphia, we're one step further. Our audience has heard aboxu yogmt and Ave have developed our distribution set-up. Here our aim is to get the customer to tfie store to try a container. "In both cases, however, our audience must be sold for the first time. And it's the housewife we must reach first." In both cities, time is bought throughout the day, Avith equal emphasis on weekends, for 52 weeks. The situation in New York is more advanced. A market for the product already exists, primarily among the Avomen of the house. "In order to increase our market," Mrs. Mann declares, "we must go after other members of the family."
