Introdução

Fifty years ago, advertisers would have been comfortable in knowing that their television ads would reach a very large number of potential consumers. After all there were only a couple of channels to choose from! But today, advertisers and marketers are forced to find new and innovative ways to get their message to consumers. In this lesson we're going to explore the future of advertising and the new marketing technologies we'll be seeing in the near future.

Metas

At the end of this lesson you'll be able to:

  • Use vocabulary related to advertising and marketing
  • Understand the uses of to be able to and to manage to
  • Understand different expressions with "reach"

First it was word-of-mouth. Then they invented radio spots. After the TV was born we got TV commercials. Then along came the internet and spam! For your task for this lesson, we'd like to know your opinion on the future of advertising.

As you enter a store you'll swipe a card and there will be computers with avatars who will know everything about you and will tell you want, what's on sale, etc.

I believe that the ads will be more online than ever. For example, there will be more interactive online TVs or advertisements on podcasts.

I think that advertising will be more personal, intelligent and emotional. People wants to be impacted by another feelings and experiences. Internet will be only a way to integrate all this with interactivity.

I think the companies have to be careful about how they do the advertising because some can be boring like popup in Internet.

AbacaFrehley, you're right! Popup's is an old tool, and it will be dead soon.

So the famous boca-a-boca is called word-of-mouth. How interesting! I didn't know that. I think this kind of advertising is still very used and useful, and despite the technological advances it will never end.

That's an interesting point, PGregory! People want to be impacted by someone else's feelings and experiences, é isso você quis dizer? I agree, AbacaFrehley, popups on the Internet can be annoying! And I agree with you too, Cibélle, I think word-of-mouth will always be one of the best ways of advertising.

Hi there. I have to confess like Ash did, I don't know anything about ads, in fact I don't even like very much this subject. In my times at college that discipline was the worst that I had, I don't know whether it was the teacher that was a little bit crazy or me that really not gets along with it.lol.. But as some mates already said, I also think that Internet will be the main vehicle to do that and word-of-mouth is and will continue being the most effectiveness ads ever. For example I met Meuingles through a friend, I really appreciate him. Just curiosity, I’ve heard by a friend that some bathrooms especially at malls are putting digital ads behind the doors, or rather, in front of and above the toilets. That sounds really weird at first but I think it's something that everyone sees, once there aren't much things to see when you're on the toilet. lol..
Have a pleasant day.

LOL! Yeah, that doesn't surprise me that some day in the near future there will be digital ads behind the bathroom stall doors, as there aren't many things to see while you're in there! There's one thing I didn't understand in your paragraph. Was it your advertising professor that you didn't get along with? You used it after get along with which doesn't make sense because we only get or not get along with another person, and not a thing. Have a great day!

Hey Ash, Actually I got along with the teacher. I meant "Não me dava bem com a disciplina". I didn't know it wasn't possible to use it with a thing, so how could I say that ?
Foto
Por: Ash em 17/09/2009 às 12:36h
Hmmm, Fernando, I tried to think of an expression we use to say, não me dava bem com a disciplina, but I couldn't. So, I asked a couple of other native English speakers and they all said that they would just say "I didn't like it", which is what I would say as well. Pretty simple, nothing fancy! LOL!

Por: FernandoCortez em 17/09/2009 às 14:02h
Okay Ash, better this way. If English were always like that, or rather, pretty simple, that would be great. lol..
Thanks and have a great day at work.

I agree with you all. I think advertising will be more personal, emotional and interactive. Word-of-mouth will ever be a great advertising way. And now, there are blogs, twitter and social networks that take word-of-mouth to a higher level.

Por: Ash em 02/10/2009 às 13:08h
Yep, I also think that word-of-mouth will always be a great advertising tool.

Hey guys! There's something wrong with the exercises in this lesson. I've scored 145%. Oh, am I a genius? Sometimes, my great intelligence surprises me.

Por: Ash em 02/10/2009 às 13:06h
LOL! Hey there, Genilton, thanks for pointing that out! We're still fixing bugs on the new version of the site, so things like this might happen. Valeu!

I think that the future of advertising will be not just one kind of media, or just internet tactics but a convergence of all this mix.

Hello everyone,

I agree, to some extent, that word-of-mouth may be one of the most effective ways of promoting something. However,I just don't think it's the best one for today's standards. Nowadays everything changes so fast making it really hard for a regular consumer to keep track of all the latest trends available on the market. What I believe marketing leaders have done lately was to focus on particular groups' behavior patterns. And online communities seem to be the perfect environment for their marketing research.
What do you guys think?
Best,
BC

What do I think? I think you English is superb! And I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. There is a small grammar issue that I want to point out to you: "What I believe marketing leaders have done lately was to focus on particular..." You use the present perfect perfectly here "have done", but then you switch to the past simple "was". You're going to want to maintain the same tense in this situation because you're talking about what they have done in a non-specific time in the past - lately - then use a tense that marks the action as completed in a single instance, when what you really want to say is that marketing leaders began this in the recent past and continue to use it from time to time - it is not a single, completed, non-repeated action, but rather something that has been repeated a number of times over an unspecific time period. To put it simply - "What marketing leaders have done has been to focus on ..." in the present perfect as well. Great job, Bcrock! Your English is polished enough for you to make comments or corrections for other users. In terms of improving your knowledge of grammar, and common mistakes, correcting and commenting on other users' comments is great practice!

Hi, Josh! :-)
Thanks for pointing out that grammar mistake to me. I'll pay more attention to verb tenses next time. I really appreciate your encouraging me to make comments on and correcting other fellow learners' postings. Thanks again.
