A public notice; especially : one published in the press or broadcast over the airAn ad is not textual information. It is a communication. But it has to be a very fast communication because people won’t look at it very long. An ad or flier must have something for them to do. It must give them somewhere to go, or someone to write to, or someone to call or contact. You first direct them. Then make it easy for them to respond.
EXAMPLE:
We posted an ad in Architectural Digest.
