a career Commodity and advertising appeared at the same time and have existed together since that time. Demand for the goods depends on the seller’s ability for advertising. It is very important to tell about the product with competence, find a customer and convince him to buy it.
In Ancient Rome people wrote advertisements on the walls. In Ancient Greece the role of advertising managers belonged to the public criers. In Latin the word “Reclamare” means “to cry out”. In Russia drummers and public criers notified people on the streets and squares about appearance of a new product. Invention of the printing-press and, therefore, newspapers’ appearance were appreciated both by producers and sellers. That time the first offices of advertisements appeared. In such institutions people could write their advertisements correctly after choosing a right form and publication. In Russia such opportunities were also appreciated, but it happened later. In 1878 Ludovik Mettsel’ opened “Central Office of Advertisements”. With its help Russian and foreign merchants got an opportunity to advertise their products in different capital and provincial newspapers. In such way Mettsel’ increased not only his own profits, but the profits of the newspapers’ owners and people, who gave advertisements. Mettsel’ is an author of this well-known motto: “An advertisement is a trade mover.” Soon “Central Office of Advertisements L. and E. Mettsel’ & Co” became famous in foreign countries. When Mettsel’ got exclusive rights of giving Russian advertisements abroad, he opened his offices in Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, Boston, New-York and other cities. Gradually, 80% of the Russian newspapers’ owners gave him the right of advertisements’ receiving for their newspapers.Nowadays, advertising business is popular among young people.
