Its all about Advertising...!!


Advertising is bringing a product (or service) to the attention of potential and current customers. It is focused on one particular product or service. Typically done with signs, brochures, commercials, direct mailings or e-mail messages, personal contact, etc.

“My definition of advertising is that it provides information, calls attention , and making known something that you want to sell or promote”.

It 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.
