provides basic information about a product to blatant appeals that try to
convince customers to purchase a product that may include direct comparison
between the marketer’s product and its competitor’s offerings.
However, sometimes marketers
intentionally produce product ad where the target audience can’t reality see a
connection to a specific product. Marketers of new products may follow this ‘teaser’
approach in advance of new product introduction to prepare the market for the
product. The goal is to create curiosity in the market and interest when the product
is launched.

for profit organizations are permitted to run ad through certain media outlets

radio and other media without cost to organization sponsoring the ads

logo or distinctive brand colors in the ad so that people are exposing to the
companies branding without seeing an explicit ad for the companies product. The
company would justify the ad by claiming that it’s an example of social responsibility.

and tobacco ad for example so companies use surrogate ad to market their
products. Techniques used might include advertising another product with the
same brand name, sponsoring community events. Issuing public service
announcements or sponsoring sports teams. All of these activities technically
