The Advantage of Commercials
It began in the early 1940's and to this day still is in many of our lives, even more so then before. It's the TV that I'm referring to. The TV started only as only musicals on it,. But eventually proceeded up to today's oriented world, with movies, sports, and violence. Today more than 98% of all households have a TV. Over 75,000,000 of TV sets are color. To how haw our lives depend on TV; according to A.C. Nielsen, America watches more than 7 hours per day. Many people say TV has many disadvantaged, like expensive commercials.
For example, on 30 second commercials in the 1984 Super Bowl cost approximately
450,000 dollars. If you just look at the price it sounds costly, but in reality
TV is one of the most cost-efficient media there is. Not only is cost an advantage of TV commercials, so are TV's impact credibility, selectivity, and flexibility. Television is powerful in may ways, mostly by having the ability to combine all major medial into one media called commercials. TV commercials are like direct mail because it comes directly to the consumer in his or her house.
It is like the radio because TV has to have sound to make it powerful impact.
It is also similar to print or newspapers because TV is able to show the product alone, in a setting, or in use. Finally, unlike any other advertising vehicle,
TV can portray the object in motion while the other forms of media cannot.
TV is believable mostly because of the old of "seeing is believing" an that is what TV does. Commercials have an unbelievable capacity to induce belief because of this old saying. The other major print that make TV commercial believable is that the actors make the commercials and A or the A+.
What is meant by this is that when and actor uses a product on TV and has a satisfying look on his or her face, that's implying that the product is doing it's job effectively. Also the actors can demonstrate the product tooo The most common way to prove a product worthyness, is to test it against a well known competitor. All of these ways make TV commercials not only very believing, but also very persuading.
The next quality that TV commercials have is that the commercials are selective. Commercials can reach any target audience. For example, if a commercial is toward children, the commercial will be played in between after school programs that the children like. If commercial is directed toward housewives, they will be played mostly during the midmorning and afternoon.

There are different classes, for example, out-of-home, in-store and other, for example, silver screen and shows however these different classes are additionally in nature as they are more constrained in the group of onlookers they reach or can target (Baines and Fill, 2014). TV and radio offer the chance to achieve mass groups of onlookers. It is frequently thought to be costly however because of the huge mass that can be achieved it is a moderately ease and given that it is visual or potentially solid based the interchanges can be brought to life keeping in mind the end goal to pass on the marketing message. Both TV and radio can recount stories and offer to feelings which is harder to do with print based media. Broadcast television can exhibit the product being used however once publicized it can't be referred to again by the consumer not at all like print which can be kept. There are expanding dangers to the viability of television advertising today as individuals can utilize their chronicle advancements to abstain from watching promotions. In the meantime changes in advanced innovations imply that expenses are falling thus even television broadcast can start to be custom-made to littler gatherings of people who can be targeted by land region or specific vested parties (Jobber and Ellis-Chadwick, 2013). There are clear signs that television networks are starting to give careful consideration to the watcher grumblings about the degree of advertising with numerous networks, for example, CBS, Fox, MTV and digital TV as a rule now indicating either bring down minutes every hour in advertisements or the development in minutes every hour backing off.

Obviously the television isn't a new technological development; it's been around since at least the turn of the 1920’s and was readily available for public sale by the late 1930’s (Stephens).

T.V commercials plays very important part in the marketing of a product. It is not surprise that huge amount of money is spent on commercials and the use of commercials evolved dramatically these days. They aim to show their product through the commercial with attractive and different techniques to attract customer’s attention. Nike and Kia is no exception.
