3、media used in advertising. We focus our attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers.

4、rly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an id

5、eal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Televisions influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. The Golf C

6、hannel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects.Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous（具有共同特点的）than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channe

7、ls available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed.

8、g passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.NewspapersAfter television, the medium attracting the next largest annual ad revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased it

9、s national circulation（发行量）by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a wayfor advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to their a

10、udience than they can through television.Given new production techniques, advertisements can be printed in newspapers in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out.

11、high degree of loyalty from local readers.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor billboards（广告牌）and the Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than televisi

12、on, which means advertisers can afford torepeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way

13、home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes-satellite and Internetradio-will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods.

If you readSports Illustrated, for example, you have much in common with the magazines other readers. Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members

16、.Advertisers using the print media-magazines and newspapers-willneed to adapt to two main changes. First, the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers.

17、ow to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising, also called place-based advertising, has become an increasin

18、gly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television.

19、s to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective. Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past.
