Another type is selective demand advertising, in which the brands unique benefits are pointed out and compared to their competition. Direct response advertising asks the receiver of the message to act immediately, like on an infomercial. Delayed response advertising attempts to develop recognition and approval of an advertisement. And finally, the last type of advertising is corporate advertising, which is done to establish favorable attitudes toward an entire company in general. An example of this type of advertising would be Stewart's convenience stores. All of these different methods of advertising help the provider sell to the ultimate consumer (O'Guinn Pg 29-32). .
Advertising can be very beneficial for consumers around the world. Advertisements contain a lot of information that is vital to us. It helps create demand for products and it has an artistic aspect and creativity nitch that has proved very powerful. Advertising also keeps us up to date and in the loop. Some ads are so great and powerful that people remember them for years and years. At that time is when you know you have successfully advertised. Many times these advertisements that have been remembered from years back and contain a catchy jingle. One that sticks out in my mind was for Ford Vehicles with the jingle, "Have you driven a Ford lately?-.
Certainly there are negative effects of advertising, along with some positive too. In order to successfully sell a product, you must first make consumers want your product. This is the act of persuasion. Activist consumers and other individuals think that ads should be strictly informational and not have the power of persuasion. Advertising helps create wants or needs by making the consumer want to get the product right away. Many times these advertisements make it seem like you are not "cool- unless you have this product. Take "Sure, sure sure . Unsure unsure - Some research shows that people do not have to need the product in order to make a purchase, instead their wants often overpower their needs, and they end up buying the advertised products anyway (McIntyre).
