Know the answer? Of course you do. Who doesn’t love a Kit Kat Bar? This is also exactly why using custom music or jingles are crucial to an effective advertising and marketing campaign. One of the most obvious reasons why custom music is so important: If the jingle is well written, and catchy, many people will get it stuck in their heads. Why is this such a good thing? Every time someone hears the jingle, it can count as an “impression” toward a business. We all know where “a kid can be a kid,” what company will treat us like a “good neighbor,” and all the types of kids that like Oscar Meyer Wieners.
