Billboard advertising



Billboards are large structures located in public places which display advertisements to passing pedestrians and motorists. Most often, they are located on main roads with a large amount of passing motor and pedestrian traffic; however, they can be placed in any location with large amounts of viewers, such as on mass transit vehicles and in stations, in shopping malls or office buildings, and in stadiums.

Infomercial




An infomercial is a long-format television commercial, typically five minutes or longer. The word “infomercial” is a portmanteau of the words “information” & “commercial”. The main objective in an infomercial is to create an impulse purchase, so that the consumer sees the presentation and then immediately buys the product through the advertised toll-free telephone number or website. Infomercials describe, display, and often demonstrate products and their features, and commonly have testimonials from consumers and industry professionals.

Covert Advertising


Covert advertising is when a product or brand is embedded in entertainment and media. For example, in a film, the main character can use an item or other of a definite brand, as in the movie Minority Report, where Tom Cruise's character John Anderton owns a phone with the Nokia logo clearly written in the top corner, or his watch engraved with the Bulgari logo. Another example of advertising in film is in I, Robot, where main character played by Will Smith mentions his Converse shoes several times, calling them "classics," because the film is set far in the future. I, Robot and Spaceballs also showcase futuristic cars with the Audi and Mercedes-Benz logos clearly displayed on the front of the vehicles. Cadillac chose to advertise in the movie The Matrix Reloaded, which as a result contained many scenes in which Cadillac cars were used. Similarly, product placement for Omega Watches, Ford, VAIO, BMW and Aston Martin cars are featured in recent James Bond films, most notably Casino Royale. In "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer", the main transport vehicle shows a large Dodge logo on the front. Blade Runner includes some of the most obvious product placement; the whole film stops to show a Coca-Cola billboard.

Effects of brands on people

We interviewed about effects of brands on people with our group members Derya and Tuğba. Derya and Tuğba are ill conditioned person in our group. They said interesting things.

How much important is brand name important when buy a something?

I have Nike conditioning two years ago. All of my clothes were Nike. My friends called me "walking Nike store". It's a gradual change but I got rid of my conditioning. I focused on Nike although I also searched for brands but unfortunately brand name is still important for me. I know that brand name isn't important for clothes. Derya

My conditioning is related to shoes, watches and eyeglasses. I prefer to brand name because if it has a problem I can find authority. I haven't got conditioning on clothes such as t-shirt, pants. If İt isn't important whether it is brand or not for me. Tuğba
