Advertising

Advertising is one of the main methods of promotion. Its aim is to increase sales by making a product or service known to a consumer and to persuade that consumer to buy it.

Advertising is often designed and managed by advertising agencies.

Large companies usually use advertising agencies to promote their products and the company’s image to the target customers.

The account is the contract between the client company and the agency to develop an advertising campaign. The client allocates a budget, an amount of money, to the task. The agency and the client then discuss the brief, which is a statement of the client’s objectives, as well as the message the company wishes to communicate to the consumers.

After that the agency is ready to start work. An advertising campaign consists of a series of advertisements (adverts, or ads) which are run in various media.

The most common types of advertising media include: broadcasting (TV, cinema, radio), press (newspapers, magazines), printed material (brochures, leaflets, catalogues, flyers), electronic (Internet), display (posters, hoardings/billboards, vehicles, point of sale), others (trade fairs, word-of mouth, packaging).

Corporate advertising is not concerned with increasing sales of a particular product or service. Its aim is to present to the public the brand image. Public relations (PR) experts organize activities which generate positive publicity for companies.
