We selected the ad of Bank of Ceylon because of their different way of advertising. Someone can see this as a notice which shows the company progress, as it say “Bank of Ceylon among top 1000 Global Banks”, but we see it is a technique they have used to promote their company. Through this ad they try to build up the confidence and trust among the people, because they said that there bank is among the top 1000 Global Banks. In order to become a world ranking from the bank sector it must have a quality service and hospitality to the consumers, effective work force, resources, etc
They use a picture to the ad, but it is a symbol, this shows some of the very famous land markets in the other countries, BoC says they are the land mark of our country, which everybody knows and pride to the country. And they have the strength to stand with the other jaunts in the world.
When an ad comprised with so much of details will be harm to the ad, but this have only very essential details include, address simple manner and with big letters. So the viewer like to read the notice, and it can give the once with a clear reading. It is a quality of an effective advertisement.
