Atlantic by the new National Dairy
Promotion and Research Board,
NDPRB.
The national plan calls for 30.6
million dollars to be placed in
media nation-wide from Sept. 1,
1984 to April 30, 1985. Of that an
estimated 3 to 3.5 million dollars
will come into the mid-Atlantic
market. The national advertising
plan is designed to heavily ad
vertise milk, real cheese, and
butter mostly on network
television. The health benefits of
calcium contained in dairy foods in
the diet will also be promoted in
national magazine ads.
MAMMA’S proposed 4.5 to 5
million dollar 1985 program plan
extends and intensifies the
national effort in order to achieve a
balanced promotion program in
the mid-Atlantic.
The widespread calcium
defiency that exists in Americans’
diets today is a major public health
problem. Many recent news ar
ticles in the popular press have
created an awareness of the im
portance of calcium in the diet.
Given that milk and other dairy
foods account for 72 percent of the
calcium in our diets, this
represents a tremendous
marketing opportunity for

MAMMA’S advertising program.
The popular “Foods For Fitness”
television commercial, produced
by MAMMA, will be updated in
1985 to identify milk, cottage
cheese and yogurt as important
sources of calcium. MAMMA’s
“Nine To Five” milk television
commercial will also extend the
calcium theme to fluid milk ad
vertising. MAMMA’s multi-media
advertising program will also
include billboard and radio ad
vertising in 1985.
MAMMA’s Board of Directors
voted to continue funding the
nutritional education programs of
Dairy Council in the mid-Atlantic
region. Budget approvals were
also given to the Dairy Princess
programs in Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware and West
Virginia.
MAMMA’S staff will continue a
strong merchandising program
working with food retailers, and a
food publicity program directed to
food editors, to assure a balanced
advertising and promotion
program for Federal Order §4.

advertising and promotion
