EnglishEdit

NounEdit

advertising (usually uncountable, plural advertisings)

1. Communication whose purpose is to influence potential customers about products and services.
   • Sir Walter Besant

     Advertisings do not by themselves cause a book to 'go'. The circulating libraries are far more useful than any advertising columns.

   • 2013 June 21, Oliver Burkeman, “The tao of tech”, in The Guardian Weekly, volume 189, number 2, page 48:

     But the real way to build a successful online business is to be better than your rivals at undermining people's control of their own attention. Partly, this is a result of how online advertising has traditionally worked: advertisers pay for clicks, and a click is a click, however it's obtained.

2. The industry or profession made up of such communications.
