Overview
The Basics - Advertising is providing information, calling attention to, and making
known something that you want to sell or promote.
More Detail - Advertising is a message designed to promote or sell a product, a service,

or an idea. Advertising reaches people through varied types of mass communication. In
everyday life, people come into contact with many different kinds of advertising. Printed
ads are found in newspapers and magazines. Poster ads are placed in buses, subways, and
trains. Neon signs are scattered along downtown streets. Billboards dot the landscape
along our highways. Commercials interrupt radio and television programming.
Advertising is a multibillion dollar industry (more than $100 billion a year) in the U.S. In
many businesses, sales volume depends on the amount of advertising done.
Manufacturers try to persuade people to buy their products. Business firms use
advertising to promote an "image" for their company. Businesses use advertising to gain
new customers and increase sales.
Individuals, political candidates and their parties, organizations and groups, and the
government also advertise. The armed forces use ads to recruit volunteers. Special
interest groups promote a cause or try to influence people's thoughts and actions.
Politicians use ads to try to win votes. And people advertise in newspapers to sell cars,
homes, property, or other items.

Identify your five favorite commercials and the five that you dislike the most. Identify
why you like or dislike each of them. Compare your findings with friends and classmates.
Create a Television Ad. This is for a 30 second commercial slot. First identify a product
for your ad. This may be the toughest task! It can be a real or imaginary product. Next
create a slogan. An example might be 'SuperJuice.' Your slogan could be 'SuperJuice,
Super Energy.' Now you're ready to write the script -- remember to keep it short. Perform
the ad, enlist friends and volunteers to assist you. You may want to record your
commercial with a video camera.

has already been made with regard to advertising and marketing of tobacco products to
children (Tobacco Explained). Now public attention has begin to focus on the
entertainment industries. Politicians are making their views known. Consider the first

By definition, the word subliminal means "below the threshold of consciousness." A
subliminal message is not intense enough to produce a sensation but has sufficient
intensity to influence the behavior and mental processes of one's mind. There are many
ways in which a suggestion can be delivered to the audience.
