What is an advertising schedule?

An advertising schedule is an itemised list-like document, produced by a real estate agent after consultation with their vendor, which outlines all the marketing activities planned for the sale of a property, complete with a budget. It's the blueprint for a sale.

What is continuity scheduling?

A continuous media schedule runs steadily with little variation. Advertising during this time can be heavy or light (maybe a commercial runs on TV once a week, or on the radio 3 times a day), but the point is that the schedule remains constant throughout the period of a campaign or all year long.

Which scheduling method ensures the development of a regular and continuous pattern without gaps or non advertising periods?

The flighting method of scheduling ensures that a regular and continuous pattern is developed without gaps or nonadvertising periods. One of the advantages of the continuity method of schedule is low costs.

What type of advertising schedule is best suited for products and services that are consumed regularly at relatively steady rates?

Continuous advertising runs ads steadily at a given level indefinitely. This schedule works well products and services that are consumed on a steady basis throughout the year, and the purpose of advertising is to nudge consumers, remind them and keep a brand or product top-of-mind.
