Marketers can control the perception of potential buyers.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Starting in late 2010, shoppers at a number of Bloom supermarkets will be able to watch commercials on small notebook-sized monitors as they stroll through the aisles. The devices, or 3GTV's as creator Automated Media Services calls them, will advertise products nearby ranging from macaroni noodles to peanut butter. The mini-televisions are part of a pilot program in nine of the grocer's locations in Maryland and Virginia to test the effectiveness of commercials at the point-of-purchase. Advertisers, which are growing increasingly frustrated by TiVo and DirectTV's fast-forwarding capabilities, will be able to pitch consumers at what Automated believes is the most crucial point in the sale process. The new technology could help grocery stores such as Bloom save money on circulars, but the transition will likely not come without conflict. Before the first 3GTV was even activated, one coalition group argued that the system would undercut parental authority by causing children to lobby for the product being advertised. Advertisements on the 3GTV's will likely be rotating on a very frequent basis. In fact, no one ad will be shown for any longer than one or two months at a time. These ads are known as
a. short-term promotional displays.
b. rotating displays.
c. permanent long-term displays.
d. attention-grabbing displays.
