A PEEP INTO ADVERTISING ....

Advertising can be said to be the structured and composed non-personal communication of information, usually paid for and persuasive in nature, about products, goods and services or ideas by identified sponsors through various media and various methods.
These media and methods include but are not limited to television, radio, newspapers, direct marketing, and sales promotion.

Promotional packages are periodic plans or strategies employed by manufacturers to influence consumers’ purchase of a product. It is a form of sales promotion usually aimed at accelerating the product’s movement from producer to consumer.

The target audience of product refers to the segment of the market or the specific group of individuals to whom the advertising message is directed.
The target audience of a product is also known as the ‘primary market’ of the product.

Before the conceptualization of promotional packages, an advertiser has to determine who the target audience of that product is in order to know the best strategies to use in appealing to their hearts.

An advertiser has to research into the product, the consumers and the market in order to determine their demographic, psychographic and geographic factors which in turn help in deciding on the best ways to reach them (consumers).
