  3. Types of Advertising • Product Oriented • Most advertising spending is directed toward the promotion of a specific good, service or idea, what we have collectively labeled as an organization's product. • In most cases the goal of product advertising is to clearly promote a specific product to a targeted audience. • Image • Does not focus on specific products • Presents what an organization has to offer. • If products are mentioned it is within the context of "what we do" rather than a message telling the benefits of a specific product.
