The activity or profession of producing advertisements for commercial products or services.
Personal selling is where businesses use people (the "sales force") to sell the product after meeting face-to-face with the customer. The sellers promote the product through their attitude, appearance and specialist product knowledge. They aim to inform and encourage the customer to buy, or at least trial the product.
The professional maintenance of a favorable public image by a company or other organization or a famous person.

TV Commercials
advertising is a good promotion because its short and easy to read so they can be put anywhere, this means that lots of people will see it.
sales promotions are successful because people like to save money on a 'good' offer and will often buy things they don't need just because its cheaper than standard price.
Emails
Some advantages of direct marketing include the ability to be able to sign up for emails to be able to receive things like sale promotions/promo codes to entiece people.
Disadvantages however include the fact that most people just throw leaflets away which results in an increase in paper waste and it wastes money.
