"From the information shared by the article, a lot of consumer needs and benefits can be the possible results. First is the goal of giving importance to consumers' perceptions whereby the services provided must meet the needs and wants of the consumers. Second is the goal of satisfying the consumers' experience of the services. The use of effective advertising methodologies can also result to narrative communication of one's experience from a service. Through different strategies and techniques, the advertisers can address the consumers' needs in their advertising methodologies, thus benefiting the consumers."

Abstract
Often times, when planning an ad campaign, a company will turn to an advertising agency for help. One criterion for choosing an agency is the effectiveness and success rate of their campaigns. This paper examines how, in measuring the effectiveness of an advertising campaign there are multiple criteria which can be employed. The paper also discusses how it is the job of the hired advertising agency to understand these methods and apply them properly in order to create an effective ad.

From the Paper
"Another method for increasing sales through marketing is by using the internet and the popularity of social networking sites to their advantage. This has shown both success and failure for many companies depending on the technique used. At first, many companies tried posting advertisements on websites such as MySpace, face book, and other social networks but realized that the click through rate for these ads actually ended up with a much lower rate than traditional online banners and resulted in higher costs and lower sales for the companies. The method that seemed to succeed best was to create a face book website for the company. Generally, 79% of internet users click on banner ads on various websites but only 57% of these users clicked on banner ads found on social network sites. "

Abstract
The paper looks at the match a magazine must make between different readers' interests, advertising and magazine content, focusing on the magazine "Women's day." The paper examines the different questions that must be researched such as: what subjects are covered, what products are advertised, and what are readers of the magazine interested in. The answers to these questions allows a magazine to recognize how it can improve its publication and generate greater advertising interest.

From the Paper
"Woman's Day is a magazine based on providing content that appeals to the average woman. However, as society has changed, so has the average woman. It is no longer appropriate to consider that the average woman is a wife and mother who stays at home and whose main priorities are to cook, clean and look after the children. For magazines like Woman's Day this became a problem when it was realized that it was no longer easy to define what the average woman wanted. In addition, it must be noted that a significant proportion of income for magazines like Woman's Day does not come from the purchasing price but from the advertising revenue (McCracken, 1993, p. 91). A business need for the magazine is to generate advertising dollars. This becomes a problem when the average woman changes. It is no longer appropriate to assume that the magazine is only useful for advertising food and cleaning products. The magazine needs to increase the range of products it advertises to ensure consistent and ongoing revenue (McCracken, 1993, p. 91)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how advertising has become a ubiquitous part of our culture, such that it is close to impossible to get through a day without being targeted by advertising of one kind or another. Moreover, none of us finds this very surprising, given that we live in such a materialist, consumerist society - our economies are fuelled by conspicuous, largely inessential consumption. But what does this mean for the innocents in our society, the young children? This paper reviews the research that has been done on this matter.

Abstract
Internet advertising has unwisely been used as a business model for a great number of dot.com companies. While it holds great promise and serves as a useful adjunct to a solid business plan, it is not a stand-alone revenue model. Most companies have realized this the hard way (through bankruptcy), but some companies got the message early enough to diversify their revenue streams before it was too late. For advertisers, Internet advertising offers a very unique and interactive way to focus and sell to a very defined target group. For consumers, Internet advertising can be useful because it facilitates transactions and makes shopping easy. For those using it as a 'raison d'etre' for business, however, the benefits are not enough to create solid and sustainable businesses.

From the Paper
"Another suggested cause of the recent increase in negative campaigning is the growth in independent expenditures by political action committees (PACs) and supplemental lax spending laws. In the 1970's campaign finance regulations declared that while limitations on individual contributions to campaigns is legal, constitutional free speech prohibits placing limitations on the ways in which contributions are spent. As a result, independent contributors are free to use their contribution monies as they like."

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of negative campaign advertising. The author examines how politicians make use of negative advertising, the effects of such advertising, the legal concerns of negative advertising and the moral and ethical debates around the issue.

From the Paper
"Since the early 1980s, negative political advertising has become the dominant strategy of most campaigns for high-visibility offices in the United States and other countries. Negative political advertising is political advertising that implicitly or explicitly places the opposition in an inferior position, providing an argument that calls his/her fitness for office or leadership ability into question. (Johnson-Cartee and Copeland, p.20). Political consultants are less than eager to admit they actively participate in negative political advertising, creatively renaming negative ads in "value-positive" euphemisms and skirting the issue. This causes the extended inference that any type of negative advertising, even that which attempts to honestly educate the voter regarding legitimate shortcomings of a political opponent is inherently "bad."

From the Paper
"The internet is perhaps the single greatest technology to emerge in this century. Its applications are limitless, ranging from entertainment to commerce to research, all instantly available at the click of a mouse or the push of a button. Internet users can do practically anything online that they can do offline, increasing the attractiveness of this communication medium. There are over six million sites on the World Wide Web, with sixty-four million adult regular internet users. These numbers grow by the hundreds daily. Naturally, an enormous economic market has developed on this information superhighway."
