INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Advertisement is the collective term for public announcement designed to promote the scales of specific commodities or services that are meant to educate, inform and persuade the entire public by means of difference methods such as Radio, Television, Newspaper, Journal and Magazines etc.

Sometime, we often get infuriated when listening or watching a programme and all of a sudden an advertisement is intro0duce into it, (programme) telling us about business in which individual advertise their products in an attempt to make for awareness and persuade consumers to buy them. Various mineral drinks advertisement is mostly carried out in advertising media.  Notably, among which are radio, television, magazines, bill-boards, newspapers etc. the advertisement tries to persuade and convince their target audience of the differential benefit derivable from consumption of the brand of seven-up.

Advertisement went their perspective consumers to be convinced by impressing upon them that their own brand of seven-up drink is the best in town in terms of its quality contents and satisfaction. Some slogans is been written on calendars given to customer by their producers. Such slogan is intended to assure the perspective hungers and consumers of the benefits of satisfaction derivable. This enable the consumer buys expectation of the product and not the product itself. Furthermore, a theory holds that a consumer satisfaction is a function of the consumer product expectation and product performance. This is say that if the products match expectations, the consumer is highly satisfied if it falls short, the consumer is dissatisfied.

In essence therefore, producers generally make or produce satisfaction and not the physical product alone.        Against this background, we can presume that seven-up consumers buy the product hoping it will satisfy the desired intention consumer buy whatever other satisfaction derived from its consumption or usage and not the physical product.
