We also affiliate ourself with other professionals like bankers, accountants, and lawyers because they influence infrastructural development.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ADVERTISING:

  1. This phrase serves as a means of letting people know you are in business. It conveys your business name and the type of products or services you offer (business information).
  2. Reach Out: It brings potential customers to your company/store who might otherwise never know you exist.
  3. Special Sales and Promotions: This method get people’s attention, perhaps someone has been thinking about getting a new machine or goods and when they learn about sales of your product, it could be just the incentive they need to make purchase.
  4. Hours of Operation: Advertising the days and hours your company/store will be open, this is to help prevent loss of sales. To avoid frustrating customer going to your company/store to get something they urgently need and realizing the place is closed on arrival.
  5. Word of Mouth: A satisfied customer will often tell others of their experience which can result in future sales. Media advertising in website, commerce magazine, tv and radio will get new customers who will then increase business by their spreading the word of their friends (media advice).
  6. Seasonal Promotions: Advertising of specialty items or seasonal products. Perhaps you sell products that only your company has locally, such as musical instruments, Christmas trees.
  7. Making potential customers feel more confident in a business they see advertised. It gives them the sense that the business is professional, stable and reputable.
  8. This goal is to keep their products names in front of customers. For instance, every time you watch a football game on TV, you will see beer advertisements and others.
  9. Consistent advertising yields the best results, a business that stops advertising may give customers the impression that the business is out of business.
  10. It is necessary to note that in business it takes money to make money. An old saying in the marketing industry is “Advertising does not cost”, it pays and advertising should be an investment that is included in a business annual budget.
  11. Helpful in Generating More Employment: Advertising is instrumental in generating more employment opportunities and creating diverse kinds of jobs. It provides jobs to software engineers, online ICT administrators, computer scientists, artists, screen printers, block-writers, painters etc. Today, advertising has become a profession. Some companies do only advertising job.
