610813
The purpose of advertising is two fold. One is to introduce a new business or product to the community whether it be local or national.  It also creates more business for the advertiser because that is what it is for.  To promote a product or business.  The product or business is useful for some people but not for all.  It is up to the consumer what they need, or what to buy or what to ignor.  It is up to the advertiser to let you know it is available. It is up to the consumer ot make the decision.  Not everything advertised is useful, not everything useful is advertised! You do the research.

The primary positive contribution of Advertising, is that it makes the consuming public better aware of the various choices of any product, or service, that are available to them - and, hopefully helps them make the best choice that will suit their budget, plus their needs !

Since sociology is the study of society and human social action, and includes the examination of the origins, institutions, organization, and development of human life. Then this would correspond to the need for someone in advertising to gather such information and design the product(s) around such a market.\nFurthermore, according to many media sources, the past experience and state of mind of the person subjected to advertising may determine the impact that advertising has.

It does the work of prescreening the customer. When you get a contact as the result of advertising, they are already sold on the idea/need. All that's left to do is close the sale. Targeted traffic requires less time and effort and prevents the sales person from having to weed through rejection after rejection to find the potential customer. Advertising lets the customer find you.

An advertising agency or ad agency is a service business dedicated to creating, planning and handling advertising (and sometimes other forms of promotion) for their clients. An ad agency is independent from the client and provides an outside point of view to the effort of selling the client's products or services. An agency can also handle overall marketing and branding strategies and sales promotions for its clients.\n\nTypical ad agency clients include businesses and corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies. Agencies may be hired to produce single ads or, more commonly, ongoing series of related ads, called an advertising campaign.\n\nAd agencies come in all sizes, from small one- or two-person shops to large multi-national, multi-agency conglomerates such as Omnicom Group or WPP Group.\n\nSome agencies specialize in particular types of advertising, such as print ads or television commercials. Other agencies, especially larger ones, produce work for many types of media (creating integrated marketing communications, or through-the-line (TTL) advertising). The "line", in this case, is the traditional marker between media that pay a (traditionally 15%) commission to the agency (mainly broadcast media) and the media that do not.
