"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.

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.
