It also serves a number of other allied objectives which include creation of image and goodwill of the firm, explaining the various uses of goods and services to the customers; enabling the producer to face competition, removal of doubts and reminding the users to buy the products/services and maintenance of scale demand.The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework regarding socio, cultural, and psychographic dimensions of advertising.
