Ⅱ．Text
Of the elements of the promotionalmix，advertising is themost visible forMof nonpersonal promotion and themost effective formany firms．Advertising refers to paid nonpersonal communications usually targeted at large numbers of potential buyers．Although U．S．citizens often think of advertising as a typical American function，it is a global activity．One-third of the top 15 advertisers in the U．S．are headquartered in other countries．Each of these companies spends billions of dollars a year on advertising in an attempt to build brand awareness and inform，persuade，or reMind current and potential customers about its productofferings．Advertising expenditures can vary considerably froMindustry to industry，froMcompany to company，and froMone advertising mediuMto another．For television，the top advertising spenders aremanufacturers of cars and light trucks; automobile dealers spend the most on newspaper ads．On the radio，the leading industry is telecommunications，followed by advertising for broadcast and cable television．Among individual companies，giants like Ford and McDonald's have the financial resources needed to buy$ 2 million 30-second ads on the television broadcast of the annual Super Bowl[1]．In contrast，small companiesmay be able to achieve their promotional objectives by spending a few thousand dollars on carefully targeted ads in local newspapers or coupon[2]packages mailed to consumers．The two basic types of ads are product and institutional advertisements．Product advertising consists ofmessages designed to sell a particular good or service．Advertise-ments for Snapple[3]drinks，T-Mobile[4]wireless phones，and Capital One credit cards are examples of product advertising．Institutional advertising involvesmessages that promote concepts，ideas，philosophies，or goodwill for industries，companies，organizations，or government entities．The Michigan Economic Development Corporation created the ad in an effort to attractmore technologically based businesses to the state．
Marketersmust choose to allocate their advertising budgets among variousmedia．Allmedia offer advantages and disadvantages．Cost is an important consideration in media selection，but marketersmust also choose themedia best suited for communicating theirmessage．Advertising on television and in newspapers and in the forMof directmail represent the three leadingmedia outlets[5]in large part because of their flexibility．Online(Internet) advertising receives only about 2 percentof total advertising spending．Still，interactive advertising on the Internet is expected to grow far faster than the othermedia over the next decade．Othermedia expected to enjoy strong grow th are cable television and out-door advertising．
Daily and weekly newspapers continue to dominate local advertising．Marketers can easily tailor[6]newspaper advertising for local tastes and preferences．Advertisers can also coordinate their newspapermessageswith other promotional efforts．In fact，readers rank advertising as the third most useful feature in newspapers，after national and local news．A disadvantage comes froMthe relatively short life span;people usually discard their papers soon after reading．
Television is America's leading national advertising medium．Television advertising can be classified as network national，local，and cable ads．The four major national networks—ABC，CBS，NBC，and Fox and relative newcomersWarner Brothers(WB) and United Paramount Network(UPN) broadcast are about one fourth of all television ads．Despite a decline in audience share and growing competition froMcable，network television remains the easiestway for advertisers to reach large numbers of viewers—10 Million to 20 Million with a single commercial[7]．Among the heavy users of network television advertisings are automanufacturers，financial services companies，and fast-food chains．
The average U．S．household owns five radios including those in cars—amarket penetration thatmakes radios an important advertising medium．Advertisers like the captive audience of listeners as they commute to and froMwork．As a result，morning and evening drive time shows command top ad rates．Inmajormarkets，many stations serve different demographic groupswith targeted programMing．The potential of the Internet to deliver radio programMing also offers opportunities for yetmore focused targeting．Satellite transmission technology will also offer neWopportunities for radio advertisers．
Magazines are a natural choice for targeted advertising．Media buyers study demographics[8]of subscribers and selectmagazines that attract the desired readers．A company with a product geared to young women would advertise in Glamour[9]and Cosmopolitan[10];one with a product that appeals to entrepreneursmight choose Entrepreneur[11]．
The average American household receives about550 pieces of directmail each year，including 100 catalogs．The huge grow th in the variety of direct-mail offerings combined with the convenience they offer to today's busy，time-pressed shoppers hasmade direct-mail advertising a multibillion-dollar business．Today this mediuMis tied with news-paper advertising in second place，trailing only television advertising，among the leading media alternatives．Although the cost per person reached via directmail is high，a small businessmay be able to spend less on a limited direct-mail campaign than on a television or radio ad．For businesseswith a small advertising budget，a carefully targeted direct-mail effort with a message that interests recipients can be highly effective．
Outdoor advertising，such as billboards and illuminated or animated designs or displays accounts for about2 percentof total advertising expenditures．Themajority of spending on outdoor advertising is for billboards[12]，but spending for other types of outdoor advertising，such as signs in transit stations，stores，airports，and sports stadiums，is growing faster．Advertisers are exploring new forms of outdoormedia，many of which involve technology:computerized paintings，video billboards，trivision[13]that displays three revolving images on a single billboard，and moving billboards mounted on trucks．Other innovations include displaying ads on the Goodyear blimp[14]，using an electronic systeMthat offers animation and video．
Outdoor advertising suffers froMseveral disadvantages，however．ThemediuMrequires brief messages，and mounting concern for aesthetic and environmental issues is raising opposition．The High-way Beautification Act regulates placement of outdoor advertising near interstate highways．And debates still rage aboutwhether billboards should be allowed at all．But they can be an effective way to reach a large number of people in one geographical location and can even promote important causes，such as providing information aboutmissing children
Ranging froMWeb sites and compact discs(CDs) to information kiosks[15]in malls and financial institutions，interactivemedia are changing the nature of advertising．Although it currently commands only 2 percent of media spending，interactive advertising is the fastest-growing media segment．
Online advertising has changed dramatically in recent years．Companies first began experimenting with advertising on thismediuMin theMid-1990s．At that time，the Web was a novelty formost users．Today，successful interactive advertising adds value by offering the audience more than the product-related information contained in the early banner ads．Nike has embraced this type of advertising as one of its premier strategies．within itsWeb site，consumers can visit dedicated sites tailored to each sport forwhich Nike has products．They can go to Nike Lab．coMfor the company's most cutting-edge[16]products—like its newrunning jacket that contains a built-in light，compasswatch，and MP3 player．
Just like spam[17]，many consumers resent the intrusion of pop-up[18]ads that suddenly appear on their computer screen．These ads can be difficult to ignore，remove，or pass by．Some Internet service providers，like EarthLink[19]，have actually turned this probleMinto amarketing advantage by offering service that comes without pop-ups．“You'll never log-on and be greeted by an EarthLink pop-up ad．Your address comes with spam-reducing tools and eightmailboxes，”its ads promise．

Not surprisingly，surveys focusing on the Internet experience typically list pop-up ads as the most annoying online experience．Somarketers at Atlanta-based EarthLink came up with an idea:offer subscribers software to block them．Although EarthLink，the No．3 U．S．Internet service provider with about fivemillion subscribers，is small change in an industry dominated by industry giant AOL，the company has based its recentmarketgrow th strategy on offering a solution to the estimated 4．8 billion ads that pop up on computer screensworldwide every month．
Why do marketers continue to rely on such a disliked forMof online advertising？The answer is cost．Pop-up ads are inexpensive to produce and costnearly nothing to send．But they are so annoying to some computer users that dozens of special programs have been written to block theMfroMappearing on the screen during Internet use．
