The History Of Advertisement
It would certainly seem that it has come a very long way since it first started out, but just how far has it really managed to come?
The real truth is that advertising in its own right dates back thousands of years and the Egyptians are known to be the real inventors. Egyptians have always been known as famous inventors but this has surely got to go down as one of their best inventions.. They had already previously started to use papyrus which was actually another Egyptian ivention,to record many things on like events and activities. The Egyptians then caught on to advertisement and started to use this papyrus to make sales messages and posters to go onto walls. Advertising then grew on from this and now (thanks to the Egyptians) we see it in its current form.
It is also known that Pompeii, the city destroyed by the terrible forces of nature, actually had used adverts to show off commercial messages.The middle ages also used advertising but because many of the people couldn’t read they invented the image form of advertising so people would know which shop was which.It was also around this time that Town Criers were used to advertise many things such as fruit and vegetables.
Leap forward many years and you get to the stage in which door to door salesmen started doing the rounds and then came the invention of the radio in which companies were able to do short advertisements on between music and talk. The next revolution in advertising was of course the television, which in turn heralded the Advertising agency started to come about.
If you look ahead once more you can start to see the shocking way advertising has grown, it has now gone into almost every sector from public transport to schools. It has also comes in many different forms ranging from direct mail marketing to twist banner stand so things are really starting to come along.
What is the future of advertising? It seems that with every new invention, advertising is not far behind, sneaking its way into everything and everyone.
