Types of advertising

TYPES OF ADVERTISING

  • Commercial advertising media can include wall paintings, billboards, street furniture components, printed flyers and rack cards, radio, cinema and television adverts, web banners, mobile telephone screens, shopping carts, web popups, skywriting, bus stop benches, human billboards, magazines, newspapers, town criers, sides of buses, banners attached to or sides of airplanes ("logojets"), in-flight advertisements on seatback tray tables or overhead storage bins, taxicab doors, roof mounts and passenger screens, musical stage shows, subway platforms and trains, elastic bands on disposable diapers, stickers on apples in supermarkets, shopping cart handles (grabertising), the opening section of streaming audio and video, posters, and the backs of event tickets and supermarket receipts.
  • Any place an "identified" sponsor pays to deliver their message through a medium is advertising.

Covert advertising

  • Covert advertising is when a product or brand is embedded in entertainment and media.
  • For example, in sports events such as foot ball matches and cricket matches players wear the logos of companies in T-shirts, Bats etc.,.

Television commercials

  • The TV commercial is generally considered the most effective mass-market advertising format, as is reflected by the high prices TV networks charge for commercial airtime during popular TV events.
  • The majority of television commercials feature a song or jingle that listeners soon relate to the product.

Celebrity advertising

  • This type of advertising focuses upon using celebrity power, fame, money, popularity to gain recognition for their products and promote specific stores or products.

Global advertising

  • Advertising has gone through five major stages of development: domestic, export, international, multi-national, and global.
  • For global advertisers, there are four, potentially competing, business objectives that must be balanced when developing worldwide advertising: building a brand while speaking with one voice, developing economies of scale in the creative process, maximising local effectiveness of ads, and increasing the company’s speed of implementation.
