How would u analyze the case study below?

Prominent adv agency measured sales response to a magazine advertisemnt of Brand A soap. It was advertised initially with Jan 5th issue of Magazine M, a monthly mag. The agency selected 300 random subscribing families to Mag M & interviewed each on Feb 5th. The interview was to determine: 1) did the family shopper read the soap adv 2) whether Brand A soap was purchased within Jan 5 - Feb 5.

Results:

# purchasing Brand A during Jan 5-Feb 5 and Subscribers who read advertmnt in Jan 5 issue = 16

# purchasing Brand A during Jan 5-Feb 5 and Subscribers who did not read advertmnt in Jan 5 issue = 29

# not purchasing Brand A during Jan 5-Feb 5 and Subscribers who read advertmnt in Jan 5 issue = 66

# not purchasing Brand A during Jan 5-Feb 5 and Subscribers who read advertmnt in Jan 5 issue = 189

So knowing this:

1)What was effectiveness of magazine advertisemnt & why?

2)What recommendations would u make to client?

3)What additional questions would u ask & why?
