Advertising

Advertising is a message to promote a product, a service or an idea. The purpose of most advertising is to sell products or services. Advertising plays a key role in the competition among businesses for the consumer’s money. In many businesses the volume of sales depends largely on the amount of advertising done.

Manufactures advertise to persuade people to buy their products. Large firms also use advertising to create a favourable image of their company. The company may advertise in many ways depending on how much it wishes to spend, and the size and type of the target audience. If the company wants to enter the market or to launch a new product, it often starts an advertising campaign.

Such campaigns are usually very successful because people learn about new products or services. There are different ways of advertising: newspapers, television, direct mail, radio, magazines, outdoor signs, other ways (transit advertisement, window displays, point-of-purchase displays, telephone directories and novelties).

Television is a chief medium used by advertisers. In the USA 100 largest advertisers spend on average 75 percent of their advertising budgets on television. Food companies spend about 80 per cent on television, and candy, snacks and soft drinks companies spend about 85 per cent.
