Med- I W M fl f STARTS I plgurvey'h kW.yPtcrt TONIGHT I Industries Give Attention to Image Created in Public Larger industries today are giving serious attention to the "image" they create in the minds of the public, Dr. Ken neth Baker, vice president of research and market develop ment for California-Oregon television, told the Medford Rotary club Tuesday. Speaking at the Rogue Val ley County club, Baker point ed out that the increasing im portant problem of creating a favorable corporate or brand image that will attain public acceptance often goes under the name of public relations or community relations pro grams. "Images," Dr. Baker said, "are the pictures we carry in our minds." They predispose an individual to certain kinds of action. Certain images will lead people to accept; other images will lead people to reject an offer, a sale, a sug gestion or even a command. There has been a shift in emphasis recently to the soft sell; today the public is ofien unable to detect any differ ence between many brands of tires, cigarettes, beer, flour, batteries, fabrics, which means market strategy must be changed. Avertising is now aimed at creating needs, wants, desires in the consum er, and then show a product to satisfy these needs. The American Management association claims that every corporation president after 1965 will be a marketing man instead of coining up through production as he has in the past, Dr. Baker said. More and more, efforts are directed toward creating the best pos sible image in the mind of the public, a natural result of this entirely new approach of business to merchandising. No one can guarantee just when a favorable predisposi tion on the part of the con sumer will be needed, Dr. Baker emphasized. Working toward it is like paying prem iums on an insuance policy or putting money in the bank No one knows exactly when it will "pay off." But no truer words were spoken than "when you need good public relations it is too late to start developing them."
