Advertising does not work in the same way as a sales pitch. Very little advertising tries to persuade anyone to buy immediately. Advertising has to motivate customers to take further action, such as making a telephone call or visiting the shops.

Creative advertising offers many benefits and helps businesses to meet their objectives by:

1. Gaining the attention of the audience.

2. ________ their imagination.

3. ________ their minds to your sales messages.

4. ________ your products and services from all others.

5. ________ them a reason to choose you.

6. ________ value to your products and services.

7. ________ the audience to remember your products / services.
