LIC Single-Premium ad gaffe



Advertising space in newspapers come at a very high premium. Second only to the television. The premium increases with the placement of the ad in the newspaper. Top-right hand or a jacket ad or a double-spread ad. A gaffe is quite a rarity in newspapers since it is proof-read. However a gaffe such as the above is quite serious ( Single premium ad followed by a post to be careful about the product). Surely it was not intentional from the newspaper. Yet LIC marketing managers must be irate on seeing this piece. The damage may not be too much considering the clutter of ads and information on financial products. LIC managers and more importantly their advertising agency and media agency, should be doubly careful the next time around.
