outlets), Good for Kids partly overcame the limitation of
having its television advertisements aired on only one station.
Based on an independent assessment of the campaigns
by Mediacom (a Sydney based media company) the
target audience rating points (TARPS) for each of the
campaigns achieved or exceeded (by 45-50%) what was
planned for based on that anticipated by the media expenditure
(data not shown). This meant that, due to
CSAs, more of the target group of grocery buyers aged
25–54 years were exposed to the television advertisements
than was paid for by the program. In accord with communication
[25] and social marketing principles, [12] the
Good for Kids program aimed to have a clearly defined
target audience. Due to budget constraints that limited
capacity to advertise the messages across a large number
of segments, the program developed advertising that
would appeal to target audience that included children
and their parents. However, segmentation was facilitated
within this audience using child and parent specific support
materials (such as water bottles for kids and newsletters
for parents) and some campaigns were directed more
at kids (eg water campaign) or parents (eg vegetable campaign)
depending on who was in the best position to act
on the message. Formative research led to good message
awareness by parents given the complexities associated
with conveying simple and actionable diet and physical activity
messages in an environment where people are exposed
to competing messages from many sources [26,27].
Also, it was useful to get target audience groups to reflect
on previous campaigns to help improve subsequent campaigns.
A challenge for Good for Kids, was timing the advertising
campaigns so they coincided with the policy and
program changes in preschool, schools and other settings.
Ideally, for example, messages promoting fruit and vegetable
consumption would have coincided with the launch
of ‘Crunch and Sip’, an initiative which provided time for
children to eat fruit and vegetables in schools. However,
the logistics of implementing multiple strategies in a variety
of settings prevented such synergies occurring. Also,
in line with communication principles, Good for Kidsused a variety of media to deliver key messages
