 History
of Advertising
Product Description:
This 2-DVD set with 17 clips, is an invaluable resource for
researchers, librarians, students and historians on the evolution
of TV Commercials.
A collector’s item, this
2-DVD set is a must have for all those interested in the birth
of Television advertising in the 20th Century Advertising
on the radio was well established when television made its
debut in the 1940s.
That’s when TV commercials
gradually took over from radio commercials. Since then, television
commercials have become the most effective, pervasive, and
popular method of selling products. The first TV commercial
in the United States was broadcast on 1st July, 1941, and
aired just before a baseball game. It cost the company just
ten dollars to run. Before the advent of the videotape, most
television commercials were broadcasted live. However, with
advancing technology, commercials would be produced either
on film or on tape.
The programming was intended
to capture the attention of the audience, keeping viewers
glued to the television set After World War II, the pace of
life quickened and this was reflected in the TV commercials.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s, the average length of a television
commercial was one minute. As the years passed, they became
30 seconds long, and today a majority of commercials run in
15-second increments (often known as "hooks"). Most
of these clips have been produced by The Jam Handy Company.
The brilliant black & white
industrial films for America's giant corporations, such as
General Motors, preserve the finest classic image of America
available anywhere. The Handy Collection is a testament to
the industries & dreams that made America great and the
image of the American dream, as interpreted by the Handy films,
are truly the dream of products that everyone in America could
own, or want to own, at that time.
 This set runs around three bucks a disc, for ten hours worth of programming. That sounds to me like a pretty decent bargain. So what if they're 'downloadable' from another website? I actually have a job, so I don't have time to sit and burn blank DVDs that would cost more than this set did to begin with.
The 'wow' factor, or the "I had one of those" phrase comes to mind quite often, especially in the disc involving toy commercials. In addition to the toy disc, you get a disc of cigarette commercials, celebrity commercials, a 'miscellaneous' disc, a disc of car commercials, and a disc of food and beverage commercials.

Description:
It is difficult to imagine life without a TV and even more
difficult to have a TV program without a "commercial
break."
Every program, every channel spices up viewing time with TV
ads as never before. It is a ‘win-win" situation
for the TV channel, for the company sponsoring the ad and
the ad agency and often for the viewer as well.
When
TV commercials were first introduced, there was a novel quality
about them. They introduced you directly to the products and
explained their use and functioning.
The
audience was captivated by the information provided, which
was cleverly designed to whet one’s appetite, and those
"hooked" went out to buy.
Presented
in this 2-DVD set are 40 TV commercials, which make this a
veritable bounty for the adman, student or professional dealing
with advertising, for it takes one through the pages of advertising
history. By knowing the past one builds a solid foundation
for the future and I am convinced that anybody who owns and
examines the rare clips on this DVD will be suitably rewarded.
