Got Milk

Got Milk? Advertisements are an efficient way to communicate with a wide variety of people to promote a certain message or product. The purpose of this is to encourage the audience of readers, viewers or listeners to take action on a certain product or idea. One of the advertisements that I have been seeing for a long time is the “got milk?” campaign. They’re a product oriented advertisement, therefore; they don’t advertise a specific brand of milk, for they’re goal is to sell milk itself.
