The Advertising Industry Has Great Power
Advertising is the most used tool in the seizure of market’s fringes and it is fundamental in the business strategy for any enterprise. Advertising can be defined as: any publicity aimed at the public and whose objective is to promote sales of goods and services.
Advertising is aimed at big human groups and you often resort to it when the direct sale—from vendor to customer—is ineffective. It is important to distinguish between advertising and other types of activities that also intend to influence in the public opinion, such as propaganda or public relationships. There is a huge variety of advertising techniques, from a simple ad in a wall to a simultaneous campaign employing newspapers, magazines, television, radio, flyers distributed by mail and other mass media communication.
Since its beginnings in the ancient world, advertising has evolved until becoming a huge industry. Only in the United States, in the late 80’s; 120,000 dollars were spent in advertising. Advertising in the U.S. is the first one in the global level, not only for its volume, but also regarding complexity in matters of organization and advertising techniques. Many of its methods have served as a model for other countries. Today, advertising performs a critical role in the urban industrial civilization, conditioning —for good or not— all aspects of the daily life. After showing its huge power to promote the sale of goods and services, since the decade of 1960, advertising has been used more and more to encourage well-being. Campaigns in support of health and against alcoholic drinks are only two examples of how the advertising industry can defend such goals.
