Abstract

Advertising levels depend on more than the nature of demand for information. Supply conditions are also important. This chapter examines four variables influencing the supply of advertising: first, economies of scale in production; second, innovation; third, market power and psychological considerations. Finally, we shall consider what is meant by oversupply of advertising.
