Reading
Read the text and check which of the pluses and minuses of magazines, newspapers, outdoor ads and billboards on your list are mentioned in the text
The function of advertising is to inform and influence people’s behaviour, as the general goal of advertising is to increase sales.
The basic media used for advertising are newspapers, TV, direct mail, magazines, inside and outside transits, outdoor displays, and the radio. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Let us now examine the advantages and limitations of the various kinds of media.
Newspapers
The typical newspaper circulates in a limited and well-defined area, and this offers advantages to the advertiser interested in geographical selectivity. Since almost everyone reads the newspaper, an intense coverage of the local market can be obtained. Newspapers offer great flexibility because ads can be inserted or removed within a few days’ notice; this makes it feasible to feature prices in most newspaper ads. Circulation costs are low. What is more, messages `can be presented frequently because most metropolitan areas have daily newspapers.
On the other hand, there are several significant limitations to newspaper ads. The paper has a short life, so it is unlikely that advertising will have much influence beyond the day of publication. Newspapers are hastily read, therefore, a message has to make an impression quickly or not at all. Finally, newspapers, being printed on pulp paper, do not have the quality of reproduction and colour that can be achieved in magazine ads. This can be a disadvantage for some car and food ads where the illustration has an important role to play.
Magazines
Although now magazines rank only fifth among the media in total dollar revenue, more manufacturers advertise rather in magazines than in any other medium. A particular advantage of magazines is their selective readership: most magazines appeal to some groups and not to others, such as magazines on hunting and fishing, skiing, automobiles, etc. In other words, various specialized magazines enhance a selective market segmentation strategy, i.e. a manufacturer directs the message at the group of people, mostly interested in the product. Besides, this type of media can offer a high degree of geographical selectivity if regional issues are available. To add to this, magazines are read in a leisurely fashion. Most of them are printed on good paper and provide excellent colour ads.
However, there are some limitations. Magazines lack flexibility: changes cannot be made for several weeks before publication date. The infrequency with which magazines reach the market, compared with other media, can also be a drawback.
