Advertisement
Any paid form of providing information on a specific product or enterprise to the market, most often through the use of mass media.
Advertising, which is impersonal in nature, because it is aimed at a large and in a sense anonymous group of recipients, is one of the simplest ways of providing the market with information about a given product, service or enterprise. It is paid, and therefore the advertiser has to pay for the delivery of specific advertising content, as well as persuasive - prompts to specific action and mass - advertising content is most often disseminated with the help of mass media such as television or the Internet.
