English term or phrase: conspicuous waste
Professor Tim Ambler talks about conspicuous waste
in advertising.17 He explains that new brands need to build
conspicuous waste into their media because they are unknown,
and so are less likely to be believed.
This is why we banned quarter-page ads. They signalled that
this is all the brand could afford to buy.
Samah Al Moghrabi
Arabic translation:إهدار تفاخري
Explanation:
معناه حين تقوم علامة تجارية بالإسراف في الإنفاق على حملات إعلانية لا يمكن قياس فعاليتها ومساهمتها في الإتيان بمبيعات مباشرة لأن الغرض هو خلق تصور في أذهان العامة عن مدى صحة العلامة التجارية وهذا الهدف يتحقق من تلقاء نفسه عبر التواجد المكثف في الساحة الإعلامية

This study shows that “waste”—the perceived extravagance of an advertisement—contributes to advertising effectiveness by increasing credibility. It draws especially on the “Handicap Principle” in biology: animals use wasteful characteristics to signal their exceptional biological fitness. It hypothesizes that excesses in advertising work in a similar way by signaling “brand fitness.”

ومن رحم الاستهلاك التفاخري ولد الإهدار التفاخري. فمعظم صناعة الإعلانات والدعاية المعاصرة تسعى لخلق مجتمع "مهووس بالامتلاك" قائم على مفاهيم التباهي والمنافسة على التفاخر والتميز.
