But firstly, I can say that Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage, viewers, readers or listeners’; sometimes a specific group to continue or to take some new action. When the advertiser makes the ads, they always think about the target audience and mostly y target audience is children. I also concern with Advertising appeals, how advertise can affect on mindset. There is always be a purpose of advertising in which one can create a kind of ads that can make a effective for the people. Also I cannot forget to recall the technological advancement in this field that gives a charm in this. Advertising as a tool, onecan expand the idea, because idea can do anything. We all are watching movies, video songs. But by the small advertise a big thing can discussed or tell in few minutes or in seconds. So it is a big thing to say. While discussing on mass media so advertising is a big thing in this era. And my attempt on this topic will lead this in various ways and with discussions on the topic.

Advertising is a way of expressing and tell something in little time with a huge impact. In 21st century advertise make several new developments and with that a global phenomena. It contents several types and ideas.
Firstly we can say that there are five types of advertising;

(1) Product oriented
(2) Public service
(3) surrogate advertising
(4) Classified advertising
(5) Institutional advertising

On which we are dealing this topic. We can say that feedback is most important fact here and object is improved for ad. Somehow this advertising can influenced with other perspective also.

Journalism and advertising are now becoming the advanced studies in industrialization and technologization of urban society. Especially, the field of advertising is becoming richer and richer due to the vast population of India and India who live in the greater part of villages, small towns and the backward areas which are mostly deprived of their basic need for sustenance. It is very essential to look for better advertisement and to check the impact of it on the mass culture of India. Does it revitalizes their humanness or dehumanize as far as various institutions are concerned.

The learner’s intention is to study one ad. and to dig out the doubleness of it. It is roughly told that each and every matter or idea has its two or double faces or quite contrary to this more than two, also. All the companies which are making their cream out of their advertisement are more rational, logical, practical, intellectual, tempted, distractive, stimulatory, knowing the likes and dislikes of general public and so on. (Wikipedia)

       “A television advertisement or television commercial, often just commercial, advert, ad, or adfilm (India) is a span of television programming produced and paid by an organization, which conveys a message, typically to market a product or service.”

Let’s look on the wordle images that will tell more in infrastructural perceptively.

 






 


It is to be taken into mind that advertising is commercial having the initial function is to inform the customers to have the product or to keep in mind it so that when he [or she] goes for shopping at that time product can be bought. So the advertisement is a prior knowledge before the buyer purchases it. So the good impression of the product can be maintained well till the buying of it. After the very rough discussion about present time in advertising, the presenter means to study one advertisement of Surf Excel Powder by the company itself.

“One Idea Can Change Your Life”
(Idea ad)
            Likewise, in advertisement also one thing is changing the entire phenomena. Let’s look on the chart that will guide us in this matter.



As people say that ideas can come for and from anywhere so in advertising idea is first thing to elaborate and that can lead the entire thing to explosion. Like small is a new big.

            In talking to advertising company one can say that it is a kind of factory that all people can contribute in that and at the end it will be as outcome. Let’s look on the chart;


These types of factions are there in advertising and how one can determine with various aspects is conveyable thing. This can lead to the Anthropologists view it as ritual and symbols giving meaning to artifacts and other objects. Educators are concerned with its influence on child development. (Dhvani Joshi Ma’am)


 Let’s also recall the power of mind to mindset anyone. In advertisement we can see how one can develop the thinking and just a muse thing can change any possibilities.  Advertising has been defined as tool of marketing. It is used and tool for means selling product idea and service of the identified sponsor. Advertising presents and prompts the ideas, goods and services of an identified advertiser. In presenting and promoting an item, the advertiser is engaging in a very important function of communication. It informs the prospective buyers and users about the product and the product it, turns serves as communication link between the producer and the prospective buyers who are interested in seeking the information. Surely advertising may be taken as the most efficient means of reaching people with product information.

            While look on the below chart that deals with verity of ways and advertising can take an advantage on situation.



The purpose of advertising
Effect of Advertising
Influence in human mind

            These all the things that we discussed but here I want to add something more that, how advertising agencies are working?




Indian Advertising Agency and Calcutta Advertising Agency were started. During second would war press advertising was used extensively to raise funds for the war? The Indian professionals also learnt how to motivate the masses through advertising between 19221939 many advertising agencies came up such as New India Publicity Co., Paradise Advertising Agency of Calcutta, and National Advertising Agency and so on. The Advertising Agencies Association of India (AAAI) was established in 1945, training an authority to represent the interests and problems of advertising profession. At the time of independence, advertising business was expanding. It grew technically also with the introduction of multicolor printing, and improved printing machines. Commercial art also grew as a profession which boosted the advertising business. In 1951, the Indian Society of Advertisers was formed and in May 1958, the society of Advertising practitioners was formed. During preindependence era, Indian advertisements were mostly about clothes, travelling, eating and entertainments places, India, hotels, forwheelers, tea, gramophones and tailoring shops for Britishers in India and the princely families.

Important features of advertising:

 It is directed towards increasing the sales of business.
 Advertising is a paid form of publicity
 It is nonpersonal.
They are directed neither at a mass audience nor at the individual as is in case of personal selling.
 Advertising are identifiable with their sponsors of originator which is not always the case with publicity or propaganda.

◘ Advertising as Mass Medium:

Benefits and loss of advertising for customers and society: Advertising is dynamic as mass medium. It changes with changing markets, changing life styles, changing methods of distribution and changing techniques of communication.
Advertising in general renders a useful service to society and its members. It disseminates information that indicates differences between brands of products and types of services as also the distinguishing characteristics of institutions and manufactures. Advertising serves as a powerful persuasive tool for the manufacturer creating a demand of his product. Many authors have argued that the power of advertising is so great that it deprives consumers of their discretion in the market place and makes it possible for suppliers to manage demand. Advertising contains an element of persuasion. Even purely informative advertisements have all that is needed to persuade a reader or listener to buy the product.(Advertisement )

It involves a recognition or belief on the part of the reader or listener that the advertised product will satisfy a need or desire. It interprets the hidden qualities of the product in terms of basic human desires. Advertising communicates about a wide range of choices and facilitates the selection process. It increases consumption, raises standard of living and improves the quality of life people. Thus, it contributes to the development of the society. Advertising also contributes substantially to consumer education. This is vital in a society where a consumer enjoys greater freedom in choosing what to buy. Advertising educates with the help of illustration, comparisons, literature, demonstration, etc. Advertising affects the human values.

Sometimes it creates wants for wrong thing such as beer, liquor, cigarettes, chocolates, etc. I create value for luxuries. Thus people become dissatisfied with what they have. They desire for things which are not within their reach. People tend to have things in excess and thus it contributes to the wastage of many things such as food items, appliances, clothes, furniture, cosmetics, etc. Sandbag and Fry burger has rightly mentioned.”The Power of advertising isnot that great. The audience’s predispositions, their attitudes, beliefs, motives,and values largely determine the media they select, the advertisements they see,the messages they accept, and he products they buy. Instead of forcing response, advertising elicits responses the audience was predisposed to make.Advertising succeeds when it gives people what they want.” Advertising as a medium is used for creating awareness about social problems. Advertising campaigns by government and social organizations dealing with importance of literacy, adult education, drug abuse, family planning etc. Influence the thinking of society and affect the consumption patterns of the consumers. Nowadays advertising is playing a crucial role all over the world in educating, informing and motivating layman on a number of social issues and themes with casual commercial activities. Advertising in India is performing a function of developing social conscience. An extensive application of advertising has been noticed in social services like clean Ganga, donation of eyes, immunization, family planning, pollution, anti-drug addiction, etc.(Advertising)


In conclusion, “Advertising as medium creates awareness and builds confidence in consumers. Thus advertising helps in making the economic system more responsive to consumer preferences. Ultimately it speeds up the process of resource allocation.”

Sometimes it can make a harsh or thinking effect ex. The ad of “Dag AchheHai” do you get sense that in what sense this ad is? Likewise advertising making a huge impact on human mind and that make us to think because thinking is most important. (TV ads)
