Other forms: advertisements
A public notice promoting the sale of a certain item is called an advertisement. The word is often shortened to ad. They’re on TV, on the radio, online, in the paper — you can’t even escape advertisements at the movies.
Although advertisements are usually meant to persuade, they aren’t always just for selling goods. They’re a great way to get the word out on just about anything. You can place an advertisement for all kinds of things: to look for your long-lost sister, to hire an employee, or to announce a local dance. Even way back in the 1600s, the British were posting advertisements for trips to a newfound place called «Virginia.»

Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common.

Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various old media; including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television advertisement, radio advertisement, outdoor advertising or direct mail; or new media such as blogs, websites or text messages. Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through «branding», which involves associating a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers.
