Generally speaking, broadcast advertising
is radio, television, and Internet
advertising. The commercials aired on radio
and televisions are an essential part of
broadcast advertising.
The broadcast media like radio and television
reaches a wider audience as opposed to the
print media. The radio and television
commercials fall under the category of mass
marketing as the national as well as global
audience can be reached through it.

into their logo. Other organisations
simply use their content and

● Whether a company's motto and
Deliberate Word Choice promises are made by a celebrity, a
pitch man or a simple voice-over,
television advertisers choose their
words carefully. What the

sounds like it tells you may be
different, but the commercial is
typically over so quickly that you
don't have time to analyze the
potential disparity. For example,
when a commercial tells you that a
diet pill is "proven to increase weight
loss," you may not realize that the
fine print at the bottom of the screen
says that it only increased weight
loss by 2 pounds every 12 months.

Attractive Visuals ● Since television is a
primarily visual medium,
advertisers appeal to your
senses through attractive
sights. Commercials with
special effects or otherwise
high production values
capture your attention, while
advertisements that feature
scantily clad models and
spokespeople give the
product sex appeal. When
you are drawn into the
commercial by its attractive
visuals, it has your attention
and can pitch you whatever
it has to offer.

Slogans and Jingles
● Unlike print advertisements,
TV commercials have the
benefit of sound. The use of
music in television
advertisements may include
pop songs meant to elicit
specific emotions or brand-
specific jingles. A jingle is
music written specifically for
a commercial and makes the
viewer retain information
about the product -- or even
simple awareness of the
product -- in his
subconscious.

High Volume sometimes take the simple
approach of bombarding you
