Effective frequency is very important from the moment the jingle is made and broadcast. The effective frequency shows how many times it needs to reach the target audience in order for the desired effect, namely the jingle, to be remembered. The exposure time of the target audience is directly proportional to the exposure time. After the jingle is published, "Day After Recall" tests are applied. These tests determine the recall rate 15-24 hours after the ad starts running. Thus, the success of the jingle is determined.

From the production point of view, the production process of a jingle is a good teamwork from its arranger to its composer, from its composer to its vocals, and as long as this team is in harmony, success is inevitable.
There are 2 sections in jingle studios, just like in dubbing studios. These are the technical table where the lyrics and music are written and arranged, and the vocalization room where the vocalist sings the jingle.
The whole team comes together at the technical table and creates the lyrics and music, then the vocalist goes to the voiceover in the voice-over room and the jingle is outlined. It is returned to the technical table to arrange the sounds. After the necessary arrangements are made at the technical table, the sounds are sent to the company that advertises, and if the company approves the jingle, the jingle is presented to the audience via radio, television and the internet.
