Sponsoring Events to Advertise

Useful Marketing Ads

Familiar to most people who invest a lot in advertising is the fact of sponsoring events that are held on certain periods of time. This includes concerts or even sports events that draw a crowd to which provides a good medium for exposure particularly for brands that are still on the rise.

Aggressive giant companies like Coca Cola, Nike and Nokia do this. We can see their endorsement at various points in time. Notable among them include being seen over the NBA, the World Cup and concerts from known artists such as Christina Aguilera and Michael Jackson.

These events are held at various points of the world and the advertising support is something that makes them happen. With that in mind you can imagine the sum needed to finance these events and the returns expected from them on the chosen target market.

Defining Moral Advertising Techniques

Naked Advertising

 

To draw attention, controversial practices such as injecting sexual images will be condemned by most but it is relevant to the product or service being advertised, chances are they will be allowed to do so. Apparently, there are a lot of advertising and promotional practices used today that have had their share of being hit for their uncanny means of attracting attention.

It cannot be discounted that a lot of people have used these techniques to use controversy as an added value as far as attention grabbing is concerned. Some may not like it and even deem it as a dirty tactic. But in the world of business today, you just have to pull out all the stops even if it may be pointing towards risking morality issues we know of today.

“Naked people are wonderful, of course, but they have to be relevant to the product. You could have a naked person advertising shower gel or a cream, but not a woman in a bikini draped across a car.”
