DEFINITION OF ADVERTISING
Now a days, Advertising has assumed important role in this very fast developing and
competitive world. In order to understand it first we have to know what it means or in other
words to know its definition. But before we define we must know i.e. six segments of the
definition of advertising:
Six Segments
1.
It is paid form of communication.
2.
The Sponsor is identified.
3.
Most advertising tries to persuade or influence consumer to do. Something though in
some cases it is merely to make consumers aware of product or company.
4.
Message is conveyed through different types of media.
5.
Advertising makes message reach large audience of potential consumers.
6.
Advertising is a form of mass communication therefore it is non- personal.
Based on the above the most accepted standard definition universally accepted is as described
by Bovee in 1992. It said:
"Advertising is the non - personal communication of information usually persuasive in
nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media"
Let us now try to DISECT & EXPLAIN key terms PERSONAL and NON ­ PERSONAL used
in the definition of advertising.
There are two basic ways to sell
Personally & Non-Personally
Personal selling ­ Where seller & buyer has to be together.
Non ­ Personal - Seller is approached through a medium i.e. advertising.
Advantages of Non-Personal Selling:
·
Seller has time to discuss everything about the product.
·
Buyer has time to ask questions, get answers & examine evidence against or for the
product.
·
Seller can see the person whom product is being sold.
·
Seller can see the person to whom he/she is selling the product.
·
Seller can easily locate potential buyers.
Disadvantages:
·
It is expensive being labor intensive.
·
Time consuming.
·
So seems personal selling is better than advertising which is non-personal yet
advertising still remains most effective.
Therefore despite the fact that advertising even though is non-personal selling, it is certainly
effective.
