Advertising to children

Sinopse

"Advertising to children is a topic that stirs constant debate. The children's market offers enticing potential to advertisers, with over $200 billion in direct purchases and influenced spending. These advertisers and marketers want to know if their investment in reaching the children's market is cost-effective. On the flip side of the issue are the parents and educators, who want to know how this advertising impacts the children themselves."--BOOK JACKET. "Advertising to Children presents research designed to stimulate and inform this debate. Well-known authors contribute their perspectives, with chapters organized in sections to address what children know and think about advertising, how advertising works with children, and what issues are at the forefront of societal and public-policy thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
