We can identify seven important patterns of response to advertising. These are the current, shape, competitive, carryover, dynamic, content, and media effects. The first four of these effects are common across price and other marketing variables. The last three are unique to advertising. The next seven subsections describe these effects. Current Effect The current effect of advertising is the change in sales caused by an exposure (or pulse or burst) of advertising occurring at the same time period as the exposure. Consider Figure . It plots time on the x-axis, sales on the y-axis, and the normal or baseline sales as the dashed line.

To do so they have developed a variety of econometric models of market response to the marketing mix. Most of these models have focused on market response to advertising and pricing Sethuraman Tellis 1991 . The reason may be that expenditures on these variables seem the most discretionary so marketing managers are most concerned about how they manage these variables.
