Advertisement - Introduction |
Publicizing is a sound or visual sort of displaying correspondence that uses a straightforwardly upheld, non-individual message to progress or sell a thing, organization, or thought. Advertising sponsors are often businesses that want to promote their products or services. Advertising is distinguished from public relations where an advertiser is usually paid and has control over the message.
This is in contrast to personal selling in that the news is non-personal, for example not directed at a specific individual. Advertising is broadcast through a variety of media, including newspapers, magazines, television, radio, outdoor advertising, or older media such as direct mail; or new media such as search results, blogs, websites, or text messages. The genuine show of a message in a medium is called a notice or "commercial".
Commercial advertising often seeks to increase the use of its product or service through "branding", which associates the product's name or image with specific characteristics in the consumer's mind. On the other hand, such advertisements which intend to obtain immediate sales are known as direct response advertisements.
