Communication between a business and its customers where images are placed in the media to encourage the purchase of products is known as?

• A. Design Mix
• B. Waste Minimisation
• C. Advertising
• D. Ethical Sourcing

Answer: (C)

Advertising is the paid, non-personal way a business communicates with customers through media to inform and persuade them to buy a product. It uses images and visuals in channels like TV, magazines, online ads, and social media to grab attention, convey benefits, and build desire, aiming to drive purchases. The other options relate to different aspects of business activity (design mix about product design and branding, waste minimisation about reducing waste, and ethical sourcing about responsible procurement) and don’t describe the act of using media images to encourage purchases.
