when the ads are unnecessary for a brand product?

First, brand products had done a lot advertisement before they "became" brand products. As they are so well-known, so many people won't need advertisement to KNOW the product. \nAnd normally, if brand products really need to have advertisement, they will show their advertisement on newspaper,etc, the places that are easier to notice. That cost a LOT. If they are that famous, they may not need to spend so much.\nSOME brand products are good, I mean the material to make it, the design, or other features that have good effects towards the product. The people will come for them without telling them to go. Because of being good, and that's why they turn into brand products~\n\nThese are just my silly view of points, I wish you won't mind me for giving these nonsense points~ ^_^

What does that mean?\n\nCompanies can advertise that their products are better than their competitors' products. They are even encouraged to use images of their competitors' products in their ads. This encourages competition and as long as they aren't intentionally trying to confuse people, fair use protects such use of trademarks and copyrights.\n\nBy the way, there is no such thing as truth in advertisement so no evidence is required to make such claims.\n\nEdit: The legal departments of most companies won't let them make libelous ads. There's a difference between saying "Product A is better than product B" and "Company A is better than company B because they kill young children and then eat them".

They blur it so that they dont give the companies dont get some free advertising. Companies pay a lot of money for product placement (the Coke cups thet the judges drink from on American Idol). The Discovery Channel wants the money and doesnt want to give away a valuable commodity for free.

I'm sure that there are regulations concerning their use. Those regulations would supersede any "advertising" regulations.

I owned my own ad agency and can speak from experience. The purpose of advertising is to target a demographic market that includes various factors such as race, age, gender, religion, geography and culture. If that is a definition of discrimination, so be it. They must exclude those not apt to purchase the product or service and therefore do not cater to everyone. It is an exercise in filling a need for certain groups and not showing bias against others.

It depends on the advertisiers they have. If you do this with ur own web-page ur advertisers might discontinue the A/c.

Know a lot but then i didnt understand what u needed. if u exactly needed the distinction btween the two there is hell lot of diffrence. Advertising is a subset of Marketing. If product marketing scope is confine to 4Ps-product, price, place, promotion. Advertising falls under the category of promotion

Is this an advertisment?

Because the companies that make those products dont get that publicity for free.  They pay HUGE dollar amounts for even those small mentions on the today show.  It's called advertising, and it is a multi-billion dollar intdustry.

Well, I know that Coca Cola does not need to advertise to sell their product, because it is so well known.  So the only explanation for the huge advertising budget they have is to continue to show the product as cool, and to keep pace with their leading competitor, Pepsi.

If you are using the visual medium, then you'd better make the product look good and very functional.\n\nWhy waste the time and money on an ad where you don't show the product and how appealing it is?\n\nYou need to convince consumers that your product is an excellent choice, offers them something they really want and is easy to buy and use.\n\nAlso remember that humor is a very good way to get people to remember stuff about your product.\n\nIt's also a good idea to use the 'rule of thirds' which is a loosely recognized psychology trick that says people remember things better when you group them into threes.\n\nI hope that helps.

it's a memory trick. If the song is simple and has funny or stupid lyrics, it will get stuck in your head. Whether or not you like the song doesn't matter, really. And if it is a very dumb commercial, you will bring it up with your friends and family, about how dumb the ad was, and that's free marketing right there.
