Advertising

Advertising reaches people through various forms of mass media. These media include newspapers, magazines, television, radio and posters and hoardings. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazines to publish their advertisements. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.

One of the many advantages of newspapers is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the advertisements for information about products, services, or special sales. Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded.

An advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, like driving their cars or working at home.
