INTRODUCTION
Advertisement
Advertisement plays a significant role in today's millennials
life. Now everything is done with the help of advertisements
like selecting the restaurant for dinner to booking a banquet
hall for a party or special events, find the best holiday spot
to watch the movie, search for the educational institutions
to hunt for the company to find a job, buy the groceries to
children study materials. No business will survive without
good advertisements. It helps to create awareness among the
customers in significantly less time.
Objectives of Advertisements
The primary thought behind Advertisement is to expand the
business by selling merchandise. Moreover, there are many
other objectives of Advertisement, critical of them are
• To promote recently dispatched items among possible
clients.
• To promote an individual selling program.
• To make awareness among the most extreme
individuals about your business in a brief timeframe.
• To enter the public or even global market and inspire
another group of people.
• To improve the goodwill and build validity among the
customers.
Impact of Advertisement on Millennials Behaviour
The known impacts of advertisements on millennials range
from making attention to the product or service to impacting
a purchasing choice. Advertisement can make a move in
thinking by millennials, which may take various structures.
In the wake of watching an ad, buyers may build up an
examination of their standard product/service with those
that appeared in advertisements and may get confused about
which one is superior or inferior. Repeated advertising
messages influence millennials behaviour. This repetition
serves as a suggestion to the customer. Behaviour that
originates from updates incorporates unexpectedly thinking
about a product while shopping and deciding to buy it as
though it had been on the shopper "to-do" list.

The role of advertising is to convey messages to far
distances. It is additionally used to focus on the dispersed
mass crowd. The role of advertising in sales volume is vital.
It ends up being a fundamental instrument in upgrading the
deals of a brand. Advertisement is straightforwardly
connected with the sales of products. Through
advertisements, customer behaviour is formed, and they are
inspired to purchase such products. Analysts found that
repetition in the advertisement hit the minds of the
customers, which additionally helped them with
recollecting that product and buying it repeatedly.
customer buy the product. But during Covid-19 Coca Cola
also change its Advertisement and packaging. Now it is
written ‘Staying apart is the best way to stay united’.
Before Covid
Due to Covid-19, there was very difficult to understand the
purchase behaviour of the millennials. Millennials were not
ready to spend a lot of money to buy the product. They
started doing online buying due to lockdown.
Changing Advertisement Appeals during Covid
Maggi: Earlier, it was written that the Maggi was made in
just 2 minutes, but Covid the Nestle Company changes its
Advertisement and packaging of Maggi. Now on the packet,
it is written that ‘Maggi have iron’. So that it changes the
perception of millennials that Maggi is also suitable for
health.
During Covid
Before Covid

During Covid
At the time of Covid, almost every company change its
advertisements, and they link their Advertisement with
safety and immunity boosters. So that more and more
customers will prefer to buy the products.
Millennial’s behaviour

Coca Cola: Earlier, it was written share your coke with a
relationship like a brother, sister, friends etc., which means
they try to motivate them to come closer so that by this more
Advertisers target several elements in order to attract more
millennials, since they believe that the purchaser is the king
of the marketplace. In addition, they need to update their
policies and marketing mix in order to account for changes
in customer purchasing behaviour and preferences, as well
as changes in buyer taste, likes, and dislikes. Individuals
have a strong emotional attachment to a certain brand due
to the high quality and effects of that particular brand. They
are emotionally linked to the brands, and they are willing to
wait for the goods during the period when the item is not
readily available. Despite the fact that people are becoming
more brand conscious, the decision to purchase a certain
brand is still in their hands.

Millennials behaviour towards Advertisement Appeals
Advertisement Appeals is a part of the creative strategy of
advertising, and it is used to attract more and more
millennials attention, awareness towards the advertised
product.
For the creative strategy of advertising, choice of appeal is
the most crucial decision. Advertisement appeals motivate
and create an interest in the mind of millennials. The choice
of marketing appeals will depend on the Advertisement
Company. Firstly, company research the message or
Advertisement they conveyed to the millennials is
beneficial for them or not, which means they need that
product. It will affect the purchase decision of the
millennials.
No communication is complete without feedback or
reaction. The main intention behind the Advertisement is to
attract and persuade more millennials to purchase or
repurchase the same product over a long period. The
millennials mindset is that if their favourite actor or actress
uses that product, they influence them, and they try to use
the product even once in their whole life.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Taylor (2020). Evaluated a clear need for the advertisers
and the agencies to adapt to the environment that has been
changed dramatically over the night. For example: recently,
a spice company shift its marketing focus from chefs and
foodservice to home cooks due to lockdown. Many
businesses change their pricing strategy and offer new
flavours and package sizes, change the direction of almost
all of its promotion.
Coleman et al. (2020). Focus on the guilt and pride appeals
in cause-related marketing messages. Cause-related actions
in individuals are more effective promoted by pride appeals.
Stimulating activities and prevention awareness works by
guilt.
Czarnecka (2019). Identifies 15 types of positive and
negative emotional appeals used in advertising. It examined
the positive and negative emotional appeals in
Advertisements for financial loans. The result conveys that
these ads use positive emotions like security and relief.
Vidya. M (2019). Studies that customer behaviour is a
challenge for businesses to understand; they are changing.
For example- traditional shopping is replaced with online
shopping. Study reveals about that website should make
safer so that customer purchases freely. The customer
makes product perception through E-Commerce experience
with a relationship with the customer's attitude through ecommerce buying. The author found that different
demographic factors like age, gender, and occupation have
different perceptions about the product. Some customers
add the product to their cart but hesitate to buy it due to the
risk of online purchasing, low quality, etc. It talks about the
relationship with awareness towards online shopping and
demographic factor like education qualification, knowledge
of the product, and mode of payment have a significant
relationship with awareness level. The product attributes are
positively correlated with satisfaction towards online
shopping.
Vijayakumar. K (2019). Studied the quality aspect of
FMCG goods. Customer prefers quality other than all
variables like price, promotion, and place. There are
hundreds of brands for a product, which the customer
chooses widely according to its influence. Demand for
FMCG goods is increasing in the rural market. Packaging
plays a vital role in influencing millennials buying
behaviour. Packaging, including labelling, attracts
millennials. Millennials' impulse buying behaviour like
offers, discounts, sales and promotions, and window is
merchandising. The conclusion of the study is businesses
are creating the ability to retain their customers.
Bathia (2019), Pinto & Yagnik (2016). Examined that
millennial are motivated for purchased the advertised goods
or services, build long term loyalty and create a sense of
belonging to the brand community once millennials are
satisfied with the one product, they buy that product for an
extended period which is beneficial for the company to
retain the millennials for an extended period.
Rajesh (2018). Studied the factor influencing customer
online buying behaviour. This reveals no difference
between males and females while choosing online shopping
and customer satisfaction parameters. Online marketing is
emerging; companies target a large audience through proper
Advertisement and promotional tools. Online shopping
means researching a product online and purchase online.
The growth of online shopping is increasing due to change
in customers' lifestyles, the demand for PC's, laptops
increasing result in growth in demand for credit cards and
online shopping. It is becoming convenient or easy for
customers to buy. It saves time. Customer satisfaction is
critical for business companies for the retention of
customers.
Loyalty to their product. Age does not matter in online
shopping. Customers are satisfied with after-sales services
because companies give good services.
Kavitha. T (2017). Found some factors motivating online
shopping. Respondents mark their preferences according to
it. Factors like a time-saving, reasonable price, convenience
and easy buying rank 1,2,3, respectively. The study also
reveals customer satisfaction in online buying:
convenience, time-saving and more choices rank highest.

According to this paper, there are some problems faced by
customers while shopping online. These are low quality,
absence of touch and feel and return policy ranks highest
among others. The author also suggests a need to promote
online buying in rural areas through Advertisements and
more offers. The report concludes that an online retailer
should sell with good quality. It will help to attract a large
customer with their satisfaction. Technology service builds
to meet customer demand with the security of their online
payment.
millennials. The millennials buy with the emotion that is
emotional appeal should be more effective when millennials
evaluate the experience services and justify the purchase
with the rational information.
Jayanthi (2017). Studies that the FMCG sector in India has
more potential for growth. The rural purchasing of FMCG
products is increasing as compared to the urban market.
Many top FMCG industries in India like HUL, Nestle, ITC,
including a new entrant Patanjali. There are three main
segments of FMCG, namely: Food and Beverages,
Healthcare, and household and personal care. Companies
like Amazon adopt a new strategy to tie up with local
groceries and supermarkets. India's spending on FMCG is
increasing because of the rise in disposable income. FMCG
in India has vast opportunities to grow. Rural consumption
is rising. There is also an increase in the Advertisement of
FMCG products, which helps them attract many customers.
FMCG companies attract their millennials by having
innovative deals.
Lin (2011). Surveyed to determine the impact of advertising
on attitudes and purchase intentions of positive emotional
appeals. Emotional appeals help Ads to influence the
individual's attitude after examining the tourism TV
commercials. Attractive advertisements attract more and
more customers.
Goyal. P (2016) & Joshi (2017). Studies how online
marketing has affected millennials decision processes
related to FMCG products. The investigation relates to how
online marketing plays an important role to influence their
buying decision. The conclusion of this report is trust is an
essential factor for buying online. Online buying of FMCG
products increases in India. The companies need to read the
comments or reviews of customers for their products that
help the companies resolve the issue. The company should
always give accurate information about their products
because false information leads to destroying the image of
companies.
Awan, Abdul Ghafoor (2016). Attempted to find out how
much Advertisement affects the millennials’ buying
behaviour regarding FMCGs. Developed a conceptual
framework with the help of the Kirkpatrick model that
contains one dependent and five independent variables. The
study indicated robust because the evidence shows that
advertisements significantly impact millennials' buying
behaviour and choices.
Kotler (2003); Pinto & Yagnik (2016). Evaluated the
advertising appeals of two types that are rational and
emotional. Logical appeals mean information processing on
a conscious level, and Emotional appeals here means the
unconscious mind or the person's feelings. More effective
ads use both rational and emotional appeals to motivate the
Drakulich (2015). Found that more negative emotions may
produce mental and physical health problems such as
engaging unnecessary in social avoidance and protective
behaviours in Advertisements. Advertisements are more
effective on millennials behaviour which change the
mindset of the millennials towards the product.
Kim & Forsythe (2010). Examined fear appeal has
impacted the sale and purchase of selected items. There was
a drastic change in millennials behaviour in the time of
Covid-19. They prefer to buy personal protective equipment
(PPE) instead of buying clothes during the pandemic
because millennials are not ready to spend money on
unnecessary things.

V.
LIMITATIONS
There were certain limitations to this study, and some
suggestions will be made for future research due to these
constraints. To produce accurate and trustworthy data for
generalisation purposes, the first suggestion is for the
prospective researcher to expand the sample size as much as
possible. In addition, the researcher should make an effort
to get a fair and balanced sample of respondents from a
variety of socioeconomic backgrounds.
Furthermore, it is necessary to broaden the scope of the
study to include additional cities. Several other factors
should be examined in future studies when determining
their degree of impact and connection with altering
advertising appeals and should perform various tests to get
more detailed findings.
CONCLUSION
This study would aid in the discovery of the numerous
factors that influence millennials' purchasing decisions
based on changing advertising appeals across the Covid
network. Following the data analysis conducted for this
study, the vast majority of millennials purchase items when
they perceive a need or a requirement for the goods in
question. When it comes to buying a product,
advertisements come to mind first and foremost. Aside from
that, advertisements aid in the transmission of information
about product promotions and free freebies. A product's
purchase decision is always influenced by the
advertisements that appear on television.
This study takes into account a total of eight parameters,
including the following: the cost of the product and the
amount of it purchased; the quality of the product and its
packaging; the content of the product and its relevant
components; religious elements; and genetic features. Every
one of these considerations plays a vital part in the choice
to purchase something. The majority of respondents who
took part in the survey employed emotional appeals while
watching the commercials, according to the results. It
suggests that when watching the advertisement, respondents
express themselves through their feelings.
