Advertising is the audience. In the ad must be clearly defined group of consumers who were targeted messages.
Put simply advertising is defined as "message that offers a product aimed to the public through the media". Basically, the only purpose of advertising is to sell a product, service or idea or the real goal is effective communication, which is where the final effect of advertising is to change the attitude or behavior of the receiver.

Determination of the media should be established.
1. Print Media

Media consists of a sheet with a number of words, pictures or photos in full color and white pages. In this sense, the print media are used as a medium for advertising is limited to newspapers and magazines.

In presenting advertising, print media more attractive and delivered more informative, complete and specific to meet the needs of the consumer society.
Print media illustrates that the existence nevertheless still be needed by the community and therefore ad will never run away from print media.
Understanding Ad
The economists in their studies, often the link between advertising and product demand. At least they can be grouped divided in three thought that is persuasive, informative and complementary.
Persuasive, this view stating that advertising is done to woo buyers. Advertising impact will affect demand or the level of sales through changing tastes and enhance customer loyalty to the brand.
Informative, including this group believe advertising plays a constructive manner. The information spread will shift and increase demand. This activity is done to facilitate the advertised product into the market.
Complementary, the holder of this school believe that advertising affects demand to boost consumer satisfaction or utility. The ads were created to increase the pride-pride when consuming a product.
This is similar to the current marketing concepts, products are not created to meet the needs of the community. But instead to create demand, creating demand. Keep in mind in understanding this idea that demand is not equal to the need.
