How Much Money Is Spent On Advertising Per Year?
By admin in Propaganda | 0 comments
That’s an important question to ask, because if you think about what advertising is: it’s about influencing. Businesses, big and small, influencing consumer behaviour so they make more money.
Outsell Inc. recently published a report putting out some numbers. Estimated budget for advertising and marketing in the USA 2008: $412,400,000,000 (yep, about 412 billion dollar).
To put things in perspective: The Iraq war so far costs the USA: $558 billion according to zfacts.com.
The USA spends about $2 billion a year for international food aid (but only one third of that is actually being spend on food, the rest is paid for shipping services and other stuff).
