 Businesses that want to promote their goods and services ([[:marketing]]) are often the ones who pay for advertisements to be broadcast. Commercials are distinct from public relations in that the advertiser foots the bill and writes the copy. The message is not addressed to any specific person, setting it apart from personal selling. Traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, outdoor advertising, and direct mail; and new media, such as search engine results, blogs, social media websites, and text messages, all play important roles in the dissemination of advertising. Advertisements are the media's actual presentation of the message (advert or ad for short). Businesses that want to promote their goods and services ([[:marketing]]) are often the ones who pay for advertisements to be broadcast.

 "Branding," in which consumers associate a product name or image with certain qualities, is commonly in use by commercial advertisements to increase product sales. Direct-response advertising, on the other hand, is aimed at eliciting an instant purchase. Political parties, interest groups, religious organizations, and government agencies are just a few examples of non-commercial entities that rely on advertising more than businesses that sell goods and services to consumers. Public service announcements and other forms of advertising are available at no cost to nonprofit organizations. The confidence of the company's employees and investors in the company's continued success may be bolstered by well-placed advertisements. "Branding," in which consumers associate a product name or image with certain qualities, is commonly in use by commercial advertisements to increase product sales.
