Definition of advertisingAdvertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products，services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media。2. Function of advertisingThe function of advertising is to build brand recognition, create exchange, create value, and to spread a specific message.For every organization and every product or service, advertising tends to fulfil a specific goal or objective. Nevertheless on the general front, advertising is a mechanism that fulfils all, some or one of the three major functions:Firstly advertising has an informing nature about organizations, about products and services, about the environment, the society, the trends in society and many more aspects of life. This deals with the cognitive context of the target audience in which they grasp the information and channelize it according to their own comprehension and predilection.Secondly advertising provides the incentives to viewers for them to engage in action. This deals with the emotional dimension of the target audience, which concentrates on touching and persuading the consumers rather than informing and apprising them.The third function of advertising is to provide constant reminders and reinforcements to generate the desired behavior the advertiser wants from them. This is a particularly effective function in the long run as reminders and reinforcements register in the consumers minds, becoming the base on which they shape their future decisions.3.
