This overall classification of readership subjects does NOT include readership of specific visual elements of advertising: i.e., bleed, color, headlines, reverse type, etc. Nor does it cover readership of such presentation-type topics as size of space (full vs. fractional pages) or, position of advertisements in a publication (covers, front vs. back, etc.). For readership information on these presentation-type topics, see also: ADV 50:7, Position, all subsections; ADV 50:8, Size of Space, all subsections; ADV 50:9, Visual Presentation, all subsections. Additionally, see ADV 50:5-4.2, Circulation (Audience/Universe/Total Audience): Measurement and Research Concepts/Management and Principles, all subsections.
Note: Unfortunately, writings and study findings on readership do not always separate neatly into classifiable subjects. All too often a single document on readership covers many associated topics. With this in mind, it is advised that researchers always search the N.E.C. readership headings together with the separately defined headings.

In 1968, the Index-Developer put together a listing of sources publishing advertising volume data and the major reports published by these sources. The identified reports numbered nearly one hundred and covered broadcast media, business publications, farm and general magazines, direct mail, newspapers, outdoor, point-of-purchase, and transit advertising; too, there was a goodly helping of entries covering such specialties as life insurance advertising volume by medium, city and area development advertising, resort and tourist advertising expenditures, bank advertising expenditures, liquor advertising expenditures, and so on. However, during the past fifteen years (circa 1970-1985) the Marketing Information Center rarely, if ever, received requests for any of these published statistics. In this listing, therefore, only those sources and figures for which the MIC receives most inquiries are cited. This listing is geared strictly to the expressed needs of the businesspaper advertiser.
For the advertising scholar, though, a sampling of historic and one-of-a-kind volume reports are given headings (together with a thumbnail commentary). These historic statistics may be useful to researchers curious to learn how volume estimates were compiled and presented in the old days. It is interesting, for example, to compare the variations in advertising volume data compiled by Charles Yang and others for Advertising Age from 1965 to 1971 with those compiled by Robert J. Coen (who continued the pioneering work of the late Dr. L.D.H. Weld) for Printers' Ink - Marketing/Communications and now featured by Advertising Age. Also, it may be of value to some ad volume researchers to learn how business publication statistics were compiled by Angelo R. Venezian for Industrial Marketing (now Business Marketing) and how and why the earlier post-World War II business paper statistics were adjusted by their compiler and were subsequently updated by the American Business Press, Inc. Examples of these older studies (on occasion, the complete series) are on file within the Marketing Information Center.
See also: IOP 10:2-10, World Advertising Expenditures, and subsections.
See also: ADV 55:3-1, Advertising Age, Forecasts and Historical Statistics as prepared by Robert J. Coen, for additional business publication dollar volume estimates - past and present; additionally, see ADV 55:3-2, Doyle Dane Bernbach: Media Trends, the Business Press Advertising Trends section, and ADV 35:4-6.4, The Folio 400 and Commentary, especially the Folio 400 Business Magazines section)
These figures may be obtained by contacting the association. They are a continuation of those originally developed by the McGraw-Hill Marketing Information Center for Angelo R. Venezian for publication in his annual Industrial Marketing (IM)- now Business Marketing article on the state of the business press. The Angelo Venezian articles - see ADV 55:1-2.2 - were featured in IM starting in January, 1947 and concluding in November, 1964. AV took over authorship of the studies in June 1965 and the last article type study in IM - under the byline of John B. Babcock - was in June, 1966. For a while thereafter the ABP published the studies as an insert in IM under the bannerline ABP Info/File. The last ABP Info/File appeared in 1974 and covered 1973 data. For many years, ABP-produced basic business publication data, including ad volume statistics, were featured in a series of foldout leaflets and/or booklets titled Fast Facts - see following subsections.
Annual articles authored by Angelo R. Venezian commencing January, 1947 and ending November, 1964; see ADV 55:1-1 for brief commentary on the history of this series. The Venezian statistics form the foundation of all those emanating from the ABP. An Index-Developer historical note: Mr. Venezian in his last - 1964 - study adjusted all his prior years' (1945-1963) dollar volume statistics.
These adjusted figures have always been used by the ABP in their continuing compilations; ad volume researchers must be aware of this multi-year adjustment if they are exploring post-World War II trends; it is quite possible that such researchers might unwittingly use the unadjusted earlier statistics and become alarmed at apparent discrepancies in figures when comparing them with, say, modern ABP releases which feature the adjusted totals.
See also: ADV 55:3, Multi-Media Expenditures, as many tabulations in that section include overall general magazine expenditure statistics; for example, the R.J. Coen/ Advertising Age multi-media compilations include general magazine figures, and occasional AA summary reports take these data back into the 1930s.
To quote Ad Age, over the years, Robert J. Coen, senior Vice-President of McCann-Erickson, has become generally recognized as the 'official' keeper of the records concerning advertising expenditures, as well as the prognosticator of the future. Prior to writing for Ad Age, Mr. Coen published his compilations and analyses in the discontinued Printers' Ink which subsequently became Marketing/Communications now, too, defunct. Mr. Coen continued the pioneering work of the late Dr. L.D.H. Weld, Director of Research, McCann-Erickson, Inc., whose ad volume statistics appeared for many years in Printers' Ink. Coen/Weld expenditure data by medium are available back to the mid-1930s as a matter of course; earlier Weld by-medium statistics - which the MIC has on file - date back to at least 1928 and his total volume of advertising figures date back to 1867. It is interesting to compare the Coen-developed expenditure figures with those developed by Charles Yang and others and published in Advertising Age from 1965 through 1971 - see next subsection.
This historic series featured in Ad Age during the period 1965 through 1971 is interesting in that Mr. Yang used the input-output concept as the basis for his estimates; at the time of first publication, Ad Age claimed that the Yang estimates based on solid government figures ... show a more consistent pattern of advertising growth ... than those developed for Printers' Ink by McCann-Erickson ... See preceding subsection; the MIC has the complete series
LNA features a complete reporting of advertising expenditures in six major media: consumer magazines, newspaper supplements, network television, spot television, network radio, and outdoor.
The headings featured in this section tie in very closely with those to be found in the Administration, Advertising and Marketing sections of the Index. They are, really, international derivatives of domestic management and marketing topics; therefore, they should ALWAYS be used in conjunction with the headings to be found in ADM, ADV, MKT and SAL.
To the eye of the professional international marketer the headings may seem a bit cursory; however, the MIC each year receives only a relatively small handful of questions relating to international management/marketing subjects and the paucity of international headings reflects the noticeable lack of questions on the overall topic.

Branding is a subject which has its roots in many areas of marketing; for example, it has its place in trade names/trademarks, the generic concept part of the marketing concept, consumer purchasing motivation and decisions, and the determination of marketing strategies. It is, therefore, difficult to catalog material on the topic. In this file, documentation - mainly in the form of photocopies of material cataloged elsewhere - touching on branding in one way or another is brought together for easy reference. This section also features original documentation on branding when the text is too broad for finer classification. See also: ADM 0:2-10.22.1, Brandstanding.

Sales Series (SAL)
The subjects listed in this section are, very often, sales-oriented derivations of those to be found in general administration, so careful attention must be paid by information-seekers to the many see also references; for example, the classification SAL 35 deals with the problems of sales recruiting, selection and training, yet these sales problems are but part of the far greater subject, Personnel Management and Relations which, as the reference notes, is treated in great detail within the classification ADM 0:2-8. Similarly, SAL 25 concentrates on sales meetings but ADM 0:2-7.2.5 and subsections referenced explore the much larger topic of Conferences, Conventions, Seminars and Meetings and much of the documentation filed there could be of great value in expanding the generally narrow concept of a sales meeting. Researchers are advised to always check see also references.
