What Is Advertising?

Advertising is a message to promote a product, a service, or an idea. The purpose of most advertising is to sell products or services. Advertising plays a key role in the competition among businesses for the consumer's money. In many businesses, the volume of sales depends largely on the amount of advertis­ing done.Manufacturersadvertise to persuade people to buy their products. Large firms also use advertising to create a favourableimage of their company. The company can advertise in many ways depending on how much it wishes to spend, and the size and type of the target audience. If the company wants to en­ter the market or launch a new product, it often starts an advertising campaign.

Such campaigns are usually very successful be­cause people learn about new products or services.

When South African Brewery (SAB) started pro­ducing beer "Zolotaya bochka" in Russia, it invested lots of money not only in production, but in adver­tising the product. The advertising campaign was aggressive, and as a result this brand of beer is among the most popular ones.

There are different ways of advertising:

• newspapers

• television

• direct mail

• radio

• magazines

• outdoor signs

• other ways (transit advertisements, window
displays, point-of-purchase displays, telephone di­rectories and novelties).

Television is the chief medium used by advertis­ers. In the USA 100 largest advertisers spend on av­erage 75 per cent of their advertising budgets on television. Food companies spend about 80 per cent on television, and candy, snack, and soft drink com­panies spend about 85 per cent.

Advertising on TV is often criticised. People don't like it when programmes are interrupted every fifteen minutes. We know that the Duma passed a bill that would forbid running of commercials dur­ing television and radio programmes. In Russia TV advertising generates $300 million a year. Of course, advertising revenues are important, but there are international norms which recommend ad breaks every 45 minutes. These days outdoor adver­tising is popular in Moscow. Many people think it makes the city more beautiful. It is especially widely used by car manufacturers, clothing and telecommu­nications companies. Such advertising attracts wide audience and is cost-effective.
