Advertising Sells Salmon
SEATTLE, Aug—The national
advertising campaign conducted
for canned salmon by the Canned
Salmon industry has enabled the
industry to keep sales of the pro
duct ahead of the increasing sup
' ply, the salmon industry adver
Using office revealed today com
paring sales and pack during the
four years of the advertising pro:
gram with the industry’s’ record
for the ten years prior to ad
vertising. .J
The report points out that av
erage figures covering a period
of years are used rather than
figures for any individual year
because over a period of time,
the average gives a truer pic
ture of the trend. Individual
years are affected by unusual
conditions which tend to iron out
over a period covered by the
average figures.
As a result of conservation
measures which have increased
the average yield of the Alaska
salmon fisheries even beyond the
decline in production noted on
Puget Sound and the Columbia
River, the American salmon pack
for the fciur years, 1935-38 aver
aged 7,455,000 cases. The average
for the ten years prior to 1935
was 6,593,00 cases.
Thus the annual pack of sal
mon has increased an average of
I 862.000 cases or 13 percent,
j The report points out that al
though economic conditions have
j forced a low price level of can
j ned salmon in several recent
years as a result of low purchas j
ing power on the part of custom
ers and a tremendous increase in
the volume of competing canned
fish products, through the use of
consistent advertising, the sale of
canned salmon has shown an in
crease somewhat greater than
that shown by the pack.
The average sales of canned
salmon for the four years since
the start of the industry adver
j tising campaign amounting to
I 7.575.00 cases as against an aver
age for the ten years prior to the 1
start of the advertising of 6,517,
00 cases, sales of canned salmon
are shown to have registered an
average net gain of slightly more 1
than one million cases per year,
or 16 percent since the start of
the advertising program.
