Paid advertising is the process of telling people about a product or service through
announcements in the media
- newspapers, magazines, radio, television and so on.
The advertiser pays for space or airtime. People are absolutely clear that the
information they are exposed to in this way, is an advertisement. They may or
may not believe it.

Public Relations on the other hand, may cost money but is not
obtained through the overt exchange of funds for a message by
a medium.
PR costs nothing except the fees paid to
the agency or consultancy to come up with
and execute ideas or a publicity
programme.
PR is about reputation the result of what
you say, what you do and what others say
about you.
PR aims to earn understanding and
support, influence opinion and behaviour.

No matter how good you are, if you dont communicate with your target audiences, you will
lose out to competitors who are using public relations more aggressively and effectively to
ensure communication.
Every organisation can benefit from PR. If you dont manage the information by which
people form their opinions, their views of your company will be based solely on what they
hear from other sources.
You cannot quantify what you lose if you dont use PR, but companies which use it can
see the benefits.
