Introduction to Advertising

Definition of advertising:

- Advertising is a form of mass communication, it is also nonpersonal.

- Advertising is paid nonpersonal communication from an identified sponsor using mass media to persuade or influence an audience.

- Advertising is one of the four marketing techniques (advertising, sales promotion, public relations, personal selling)

Types of Advertising:

Brand advertising Retail advertisingPolitical advertising Directory advertisingDirect-response advertisingBusiness-to-business advertisingInstitutional advertisingPublic service advertising


Types of advertising:

- Brand Advertising: (Irrand advertising)- The most visible type of advertising is national consumer advertising.- It focuses on the development of a long-term brand identity and image.

- Retail Advertising: - It is local and focuses on the store where a variety of products can be purchased or where a service is offered. Retail advertising emphasizes price, availability, location, and hours of operation.

- Political Advertising:- It is used by politicians to persuade people to vote for them and therefore is an important part of the political process in democratic countries.

- Directory advertising: (such as yellow pages)- It is used to help people to find out how (where) to buy a product or service.


Types of advertising:

- Direct-response advertising:- It can use any advertising medium, including direct mail, but the message is different from that of national and retail advertising in that it tries to simulate a sale directly.

- Business-to-business advertising:- It includes messages directed at retailers, wholesalers, and distributors, aswell as industrial purchasers and professionals such as lawyers and physicians.

- Institutional advertising: (corporate advertising)- It focuses on establishing a corporate identity or winning the public over to the organization’s point of view.

- Public service advertising (PSA):- PSA communicates a message on behalf of some good cause.- These advertisements are created for free by advertising professionals, and the space and time are donated by the media.

Four Major Roles of Advertising:

•Marketing Role- target market, marketing communication

•Communication Role- a form of mass communication. It transmits different types of market information to match buyers and sellers in the marketplace.

•Economic Role- two major schools of thought concerning the effects of advertising on the economy: a) market power, b) market competition.- market power school

“as a persuasive communication tool to distract consumers’ attention from the price of product.”- market competition school

“ as a source of information that increases consumers’ price sensitivity and stimulates competition.”

•Societal Role- inform us about new improved products- teach us how to use these innovations- help us compare products and features- make informed consumer decisions.


Functions of Advertising:

•Direct action versus indirect action- Direct-action advertising is intended to produce a quick response.Such as, coupon with an expiration date, or a sale with expiration date, 800 number, a mail-in-order. - Indirect-action advertising is designed to stimulate demand over a longer period of time.

•Primary versus selective- Primary advertising aims to promote demand for a generic product.- Selective advertising attempts to create demand for a particular brand.

•Commercial versus noncommercial- Commercial advertising promotes a product with the intent of making a profit.- Noncommercial advertising tends to be sponsored by organizations that are not in business to make money.


The Four Major Players on Advertising:•The advertiser - the individual or organization that usually initiates the advertising process. He/She makes the final decisions on:

- where, whom the Ad will be directed to- the used media- the budget, size and location- the Ad schedule and duration

•The advertising agency•The media•The vendor


The Types of Advertisers:
