A. Sales promotion accounts for greater expenditures than does advertising. Consumer-oriented sales promotions like coupons, games, rebates, samples, premiums, contests, sweepstakes, and promotional products offer an extra incentive to buy a product.

Advertising, the most visible form of non personal promotion, is designed to inform, persuade, or remind. Product advertising promotes a good or service, while institutional advertising promotes a concept, idea, organization, or philosophy.

Travel Agent License No: 22009 To: Geo Friends From: Kit-ken Lim Re: itinerary To Whom It May Concern, Below you will find my travel itinerary. Again, I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to book my trip for the weekend of the 3rd as you requested. That weekend would have been perfect for me as well. I leave Tokyo at 4 P.M. on the 10th. Unless I hear from you before I leave, I will assume that one of you will meet me at the airport with a sign. I have never been to Tokyo before, so I would prefer not to have to hire a taxi or find my own way to the hotel. I look forward to discussing franchise opportunities and to meeting all of you. I will have my checkbook with me in case we work out a deal right away. Thank you, Kit-ken Lim P.S. I’ll be wearing a green hat and a long black coat.
