Sales Probability increases once information is shared through media. We Often see advertisement of products that we never see in market. Actually they introduce themselves.

Suppose a company designed a new product. They produced it but who will buy? Recall powder milk. The basic source of milk is cow, goat and camel. Actually milk is liquid, if you keep real milk in room for some days at room temperature it starts stinking but power milk has long expiry. You know better that it is chemical & chemically processed. Still you buy powder, ever thought why? Continuous advertisements change your social life. You simply switch.

Advertisements are often to empower sales staff & engage people to buy directly from company. Companies never want to lose devoted staff. Most probably sales staff gets unmotivated after several unsuccessful target achieving attempts. Commercial empowers them in a way that ads forward you to some steps in selling process, people make a product image in mind after campaign but don’t buy.

Advertisement leaves many opportunities to sales staff to engage people in buying. Not even a single business in world wants to reduce their profit margin. Producers pay profit to whole sellers, retailers and traders to resell their product.

If you directly buy it from the manufacturer the price is still the same. It also aims to Compete Rivals in the market, Blackberry is the best platform for business needs but Android & Apple captured most of its market share through commercials.

Conclusively Advertising plays a vital role for the Company. Advertised products are more remembered in consumers. They are sold more compared to when they were not advertised.
