ADVERTISING
If you are like me then, you
definitely enjoy a good advertisement and also spread the word about that
product or service. Even if is about cars, electronics or even good food an advertisement
can make your day better and it can also be a source of inspiration for your
future projects. In my world Advertising or advertizing in business is a form
of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an
audience ,viewers, readers or listeners and
sometimes a specific group to take or continue to take some action.
Most companies’ desired result
is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although
political and ideological advertising is also common. Virtually any medium can
be used for advertising. Commercial advertising media can include wall
paintings, billboards, street furniture components, printed flyers and rack
cards, radio, cinema and television adverts, web banners, mobile phone screens,
shopping carts, web popups, skywriting, bus stop benches, human billboards and
forehead advertising, magazines, newspapers, town criers, sides of buses,
banners attached to or sides of airplanes, in-flight advertisements on seatback
tray tables or overhead storage bins, taxicab doors, roof mounts and passenger
screens, musical stage shows, trains stations, elastic bands on disposable
diapers, doors of bathroom stalls, stickers on apples in supermarkets, shopping
cart handles the opening section of streaming audio and video, posters, and the
backs of event tickets and supermarket receipts. Any place an identified
sponsor pays to deliver their message through a medium is advertising.
Advertising is at the front of
delivering the proper message to customers and prospective customers. The
purpose of advertising is to convince customers that a company's services or
products are the best, enhance the image of the company, point out and create a
need for products or services, demonstrate new uses for established products,
announce new products and programs, reinforce the salespeople's individual
messages, draw customers to the business, and to hold existing customers.
