           ADVERTISING                                         

Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of  those products and services through the creation and reinforcement of «brand image» and «brand loyalty». Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including television, radio, magazines, newspapers, the Internet and billboards. Advertising is often placed by an advertising agency. Advertisements are seen on the seats of shopping carts, on the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of  buses, and heard in telephone hold messages and in-store public address systems. They parties, religious organizations, and military recruiters are often placed anywhere an audience can easily or frequently access visual, audio and printed information.

 Organizations that frequently spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service include political. Non-profit organizations are not typical advertising clients either, and may rely on free models of persuasion, such as public service announcements. Celebrities are often involved in advertising campaigns such as television or print adverts to advertise specific or general products.                                                                                                  A human billboard is someone who applies an advertisement on his or her person. Most commonly, this means holding or wearing a sign of some sort, but also may include wearing advertising as clothing or in extreme cases, having advertising tattooed on the body. Sing-holders are known as human directionals in the advertising industry, or colloquially as sign walkers or sign twirlers.                                                                 Online advertising is a form of promotion that is used by the Internet and World Wide Web for the purpose of  delivering marketing messages to attract customers. Unsolicited Commercial Email and other forms of spam have become so prevalent as to have become a major nuisance to users of these services, as well as being a financial burden on Internet service providers.

Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product.
