Advertising in our Life Essay Applicant: Anna Puchnina The student of the 10 "A" form Grammar School Tambov 2004 CONTENTS Introduction The History of Advertising Types and Functions of Advertising Advertising in mass media. Advertising agency Domestic advertising Conclusion. It is impossible to imagine our television, newspapers, radio, Internet and even streets without advertisements. Nowadays advertising plays an important role in modern life and in the life of every person. We can't imagine our life without advertising because every day we hear or see advertising, we try to find information we need in hundreds of advertisements. Even when we go for a walk or just shopping we see a lot of different advertisements in the streets. I think that "Advertising" is a very interesting topic, because in the XXI century every minute of our life is connected with advertising. It is hard to believe but the origins of advertising antedate the Christian era by many centuries. One of the first known methods of advertising was outdoor display, usually an eye-catching sign painted on the wall of a building. From this unsophisticated beginnings in ancient times advertising has turned into a worldwide industry. The word "advertising" comes from the French word "reclame". Advertising if to speak a simple language, serves to notify in various ways (sometimes all available) the new

American Women as Consumers

American Women as Consumers October 17, 2003 Introduction Women are marketers' most powerful consumers. They make up nearly 52 percent of the U.S. population and account for influencing or purchasing 85 percent of all of America's products and services (Quinlan, 2003). Their purchasing dominance on the market will only increase with their future rising wealth, education, independence, and longevity. Women have driven the obvious categories of food, beauty, and household products for decades. Today, they make 80 percent of all health care choices, purchase 65 percent of all new cars, and represent half of the traveling population (Quinlan, 2003). The following will discuss and prove why marketers have been and continue to focus on the female consumer. Stated first will be demographics of female American consumers, leading into why they buy and how marketers should market to them. Factors involved with marketing to women that will be elaborated on are stress, beauty, and health. Women have traditionally been the main consumers of cosmetic products such as hair coloring, while men have been the main users of products such as tools and home repair items. However, today, sex roles are blurred, and gender is no longer an accurate way to distinguish consumers in some product categories (Schiffman and Kanuk, 2004). Advertising to women has also changed in the past
