III. READING
Task 1: Read the text
Spending on advertising is up again and is expected to grow this year by 4.7 per cent to $343 billion. How will the money be spent? There are plenty of alternatives to straightforward advertising. They range from public relations to direct mail and include consumer promotions (such as special offers), in-store displays, business-to-business promotions (like paying a retailer for shelf space), telemarketing, exhibitions, sponsoring events, product placements and more. These have become such an inseparable part of the industry that big agencies are now willing to provide most of them.
If we speak about a potential market for mobile communication, another approach in advertising is to encourage people to use their existing phones more than they do at the moment. Third-generation networks, which will offer lots of extra capacity, will lead to lower prices and, the industry hopes, more phone calls. Similarly, there is much excitement about “fixed-mobile convergence”, a technology that allows people to use their mobile handsets to make cheap calls at home over fixed-line networks – again it hoped, boosting usage. Extending mobile coverage, so that subscribers can make calls wherever they are, is another tactic of advertising. Coverage is already available in underground railway networks in many cities, and within two years it will be extended into what is many people’s last remaining phone-free environment: aeroplanes.
