From the Paper
"The purpose of this discussion on advertising is to examine the goals of advertising, the types of advertising, and various techniques used in advertising strategies. In addition, this paper addresses personal marketing versus mass marketing, and clarifies the roles of such marketing tools as sales promotion, publicity, and public relations, which are different from the role of advertising.
Advertising is "the nonpersonal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services, or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media". Key words in this definition that, when used together, separate advertising from other marketing tools are nonpersonal, paid, persuasive, and media. First, advertising is not personal because it lacks face-to-face ... "

Abstract
This paper looks at that question of whether advertising directed at children is ethical. It points out that the amount of advertising targeting children continues to grow. Children view an estimated 360,0000 advertisements on television before graduating from high school. The paper also claims that, not until the early 1970s, was advertising directed at children seen as a problem in the United States. The paper argues that, although studies show that children under the age of seven cannot distinguish the difference between an advertisement and fact, there is little if any regulation of advertising directed at children within the United States. The paper compares the US to other countries, which have adopted the philosophy that advertising directed at children is immoral and have stepped in with varying levels of regulation. The paper concludes that, regarding television, it is unlikely there will be any restrictions placed on advertisers; however, with the proliferation of sites such as MySpace, YouTube, blogging, and other future technological advances to the Internet, there may eventually be a public outcry for more stringent regulations.
Outline:
Introduction
History of Advertising & Advertising to Children
Advertising and Its Impact on Children
Why So Much Emphasis on Advertising to Children?
Notable Examples of Advertising to Children
The Regulation of Advertising
Regulations in Other Countries
How Likely Change Is in the Future & Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the US, there are currently few policies or standards for food advertising and marketing aimed at children. The advertising industry maintains self-regulatory policies established by the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the National Council of Better Business Bureaus. CARU's guidelines apply to all forms of children's advertising, but it has no legal authority over advertisers and can only seek voluntary compliance. CARU has a group of about 20 advisors and 35 supporters, many of whom are from the food industry, such as Burger King, Frito-Lay, McDonald's, General Mills, Nabisco and Hershey. The CARU voluntary guidelines list seven basic principles, which address areas such as product presentation and claims, endorsement and promotion by program characters, sales pressures, disclosures and disclaimers and safety concerns."

From the Paper
"The fastest growing segment in the entire world is the telecom sectors specifically the cellular phones. It isn't surprising to say that there is more number of cellular phone users than computers today, in particular the developing countries. The biggest beneficiary of the telecom boom is the advertisement industry since it is blessed with one additional source to reach the public domain. With the costs of computers and last mile connectivity coming down, Internet penetration is improving in the developing countries."

Abstract
This paper discusses the respective approaches that Wal-Mart and target corporations take vis-a-vis advertising. The paper takes on the form of a SWOT analysis, outlining the relative merits and demerits of each approach, while offering a brief assessment of what possibly lies ahead for each. More than that, the paper suggests that the present battle being waged between them will only escalate as target proves itself a worthy adversary.
From the Paper
"Advertising has always been the lifeblood of businesses everywhere. In recent years, however, the level of sophistication found in American advertising has grown exponentially. The following paper will look at two sophisticated businesses - Walmart and Target - and assess the relative merits and demerits of their advertising strategies. If Walmart is habitually referred to as an organization preferring "rational" advertising, then Target must surely be an organization that stresses innovation and high quality as part of its 'sales pitch' to America - and to the rest of the World.

Advertising Culture of the 1920s, 2006.
A discussion regarding advertising in the 1920s, in relation to advertising today.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the differences between the advertising of the 1920s and today are substantial. The advertising of that time was less sophisticated. Products were sold based on their perceived values and usefulness, not simply on sex appeal. The paper further discusses that it is not to say that sex appeal was ignored; products aimed at women often advertised how appealing they would make women feel, or how they would make women appear to men. Coca-Cola and Palmolive soap are products that demonstrate the changes that have taken place in advertising, both in the purpose of advertising and the images associated with it.
From the Paper
"The decade of the 1920s was an era of rapid change. Women scandalized their men as their hemlines rose steadily, reaching the mid-20s "flapper" styles; makeup became popular; and their hairstyles got shorter. Men's fashions became more conservative and geared toward the comfort of the wearer. "Convenience" became the watchword of the day, whether related to clothing, chores, travel, or communication. Almost overnight, the world became a different place, in large part thanks to advertising. Cultural Overview The world was a rapidly changing place in the decade of the "Roaring Twenties." This decade came on the heels of the Progressive Era, which had run out of steam by the beginning of that decade (Miller, 2003, p. 13). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the tangible and intangible methods of communication in advertising and uses a case study of a small Greek business to illustrate effective advertising strategies.The paper describes the different tools and method available for advertising, the approach to advertising that small businesses should use, and makes recommendations for the small business described in the case study.
From the Paper
"Advertising strategies differ significantly. This is based on the industry and the product being sold. In addition, the target market and the financial constraints experienced by the company wishing to advertise also will determine the medium and the intensity of advertisement that can be undertaken. Companies should also understand the culture and ethics of the region in which they are advertising and the nature of the product (essentials, luxury goods or status goods) that the market can support. In the book "Effective Advertising," the author Gerard J. Tellis is of the opinion that advertising is "a complex task" as it has to address the attention span of the market being targeted and nature of processing of the advertised information done by the average individual. (Tellis, 2004) To further complicate matters, potential customers should also have the ability to recall the advantages and benefits of the product when they are in the market to purchase this product."

Video Advertising, 2005.
This paper explains that video advertising, which can be both entertaining and irritating, is the medium society loves to hate because, unlike print advertising, it is more difficult to tune out.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although people can make a case that advertising goes too far, by using sexual innuendo that is too graphic or targeting children who have not yet developed the ability to evaluate claims of the advertisement, the United States Constitution provides everyone in this country, including advertisers, a number of protections from regulatory abuse such as freedom of speech. The author points out that one of the most common criticisms is that advertising tries to sell us things we neither need nor want; however, in a capitalistic society, companies are allowed to encourage consumers to buy their products. This paper concludes that the video advertising is an important part of the U.S. economic system; the problems of this advertising can be managed.
From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the weakest criticisms of advertising is that it is intrusive. Probably every person could cite a commercial he or she found annoying and intrusive, and that is the test for the limits of free speech: one person's free speech cannot violate another person's right to not be harmed by that free speech. An example of this would be hate crimes. If someone's inflammatory speeches cause someone else to commit a hate crime, then the person's speech has gone too far, because it has led to harm. The issue isn't nearly as clear in advertising."

Abstract
This paper examines how the use of female images in the media and particularly in advertising has become a contentious issue in recent years and how numerous studies and articles have been written on the subject. There is a general consensus among academics and researchers that the manner in which advertising uses female images has a profound affect on society in general and the individual consumer. However, whether this effect is entirely negative or positive is a question that is at issue. One of the intentions of the present study is to present these views against the background of the history and function of advertising. A central purpose of this dissertation is to examine the implications surrounding the usage of female imagery in advertising. The implications in both a social and psychological sense are examined in-depth. The study also takes cognizance of the various views and opinions of various aspects of this subject. The overall intention of the study is to present a clear overview and analysis of the historical and contemporary reality of the use of female images in the advertising industry.

From the Paper
"Advertising is an integral part of our social and economic systems. In our complex society, advertising has evolved into a vital communications system for both consumers and businesses. The concepts of buying and consuming have been around since time immemorial and the fact that much of life focuses in this commonplace arena, makes advertising a fascinating subject for anyone who is interested in how people cope with everyday existence. In ancient times 'persuasion through communication' was mainly by word of mouth, yet commercial messages were found in the ruins of Pompeii, a town that was founded in the 7th century BC by the Osci, a people of central Italy."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Sut Jhally's article, "Advertising at the Edge of the Apocalypse," in which he tackles the issue of the cultural role of advertising. It discusses his arguments regarding the influence of ads on society and the power of advertising as a global phenomenon. The paper also looks at Karl Marx' definition of western societies and how it relates to Jhally's arguments.
From the Paper
"The definition provided by Margaret Thatcher to the concept of 'society' can help elucidate the ways in which advertising relates to society. Thatcher said, "There is no such thing as 'society'. There are just individuals and their families." This definition means that society is not to be perceived as an entity made up of its members, but as a large group of individuals who follow their own interests. This is, in fact, how advertising relates to the idea of society. Ads do not address this idealistic united body of people, but individuals. This capitalist view of society opposes Marx's view which holds that society is not a collection of separate individuals with competing interests, but of competing classes which are determined and defined in terms of their relationship to production. I believe that the definition provided by Margaret Thatcher is better suited to the issue of advertising, and it accurately reflects the world we live in. In this sense, I argue in favor of Thatcher's view on society because I think that in society we operate as individuals. This could also account for the ways in which advertising talks to us; as Jhally points out, advertising does not address our collective concerns such as healthcare or poverty, but our individual values which in turn, determine our pattern of consumption."

Sexuality in Advertising, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of sex in advertising as a powerful tool for selling products; however, sex in advertising is addressed differently toward men than it is toward women.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the sexual connection is much easier to set up for men than for women because men have minimal criteria for sexual desire, basically a woman's anatomy; thus, young healthy women's bodies easily attract the male view to the advertiser's product. The author points out that the use of sex in advertising to women is much more difficult because women's instinctive sexual reaction is more strongly affected by their intelligence; thus, advertising to women rarely uses sex, but rather the romance approach is applied using stereotypical images such as roses and a doting man. The paper relates that sexuality in advertising is a major area of ethical concern; however, surprisingly little is known about its effects on women and men.
From the Paper
"Sex is the second strongest of the psychological appeals, right behind self-preservation, and its strength is biological and instinctive, the genetic imperative of reproduction.Sexual desire is an instinctive reaction in animals, and a person's perception of a suitable mate is the basis.That perception is usually a set of criteria that the opposite sex must meet, and those that meet and exceed those criteria will provide the chance for the highest quality offspring with the best chance of survival."

Ethical Advertising, 2002.
Investigates the ethics surrounding advertising and the legal steps which can be taken to ensure that unethical advertising does not go unpunished.

Abstract
Ethics of advertising intends to ensure that advertisers and consumers co-exist without being harmed by the messages of advertisements. Ethical advertising provides as much truth as possible without undermining the autonomy of consumers to reflect critically upon their desires and interests. Unethical advertising, by contrast, deceives consumers by concealing significant facts about a product or service being advertised. Legal framework ensures that advertisers do not deceive consumers by conveying deceptive messages. Legal actions against unethical messages, however, are corrective rather than punitive.
