-10- SUMtifARy CIIMEL "SURVESIORS" :30/CAMEL FILTER "P[tPPy COMES HOME" :30 ON-AIR TEST (Day-a6.teA Recat.2) MRV#AR-67-32 9 33 This is a study to determine the recall levels of Camel "Surveyors" :30/Camel Filter "Puppy Comes Home" :30 commercials on the day after they were first shown. NOTE: Although "Surveyors"/"Puppy" are two separate commercials, it is evident from the verbatims that many respondents thought them,to be one commercial. It is meaningful, then to consider not only the related recall scores of the individual brands but also the overall score for the entire 60-second announcement. Results 1. The overall related recall score for the entire 60-second announcement was 28%. 2. A total of 18% gave recall apparently related to the Camel :30, and 24% gave recall apparently related to the Camel Filter :30. 3. Among men the overall score for both commercials was 29%; recall for the Camel :30 was 20%; and recall for the Camel Filter :30 was 25%. 4. Comments about taste were made by 9%, or 32% of those who gave recall. 5. The lost puppy was remembered by 9%. Conclusion Both the individual and the combined scores of "Surveyors" and "Puppy Comes Home" are good. Recall of taste salesmessages is higher than that for other Camel brand commercials that we have tested. Situation recall, while not high, is detailed. One of the reasons for the success of these commercials is probably the interesting and unusual "slice-of-life" situation. In our judgment the puppy acted as an attention-getting device, and the appeal of its plight held the interest of viewers. C.

CAMEL "SURVEYORS" :30/CAMEL FILTFR'"PUPPy COMES HOME" :30 ON-AIR TEST MRD#AR-67-32 9 33 This is a study to determine recall levels of Camel "Surveyors" :30/Camel Filter "Puppy Comes Home" :30 piggy- back commercials on the day after they were first shown. Location: San Antonio, Texas Atlanta, Georgia Albuquerque, New Mexico New Orleans, Louisiana Background: The test commercials appeared in the second commercial position (8:46 P.M. EST) of "Rat Patrol" on April 24, 1967. Date of Interviewing: April 25, 1967 Method: Any adult who watched television the previous night and who smoked at least one cigarette per day was eligible to be interviewed. Respondents were asked whether they had seen any cigarettes advertised and, if so, which brands. If the test brands were not mentioned, they were asked whether they had seen commercials for Camel Regular and Camel Filter and, if so, what they said and showed. Respondents were asked if they had seen the scenes just before, during, and just after the commercials. Program and activity prompts were used to determine whether the respondent was actually in the commercial audience. Respondents were classified according to sex, age, education, and type of television viewed. Sample: Numbers were chosen at random from local telephone directories. MRD Note: The test was also scheduled for Louisville, Ky., but was cancelled when the commercials did not appear.
