The
Christmas holiday season is the busiest and most profitable time for every corporation. To boost their sales they need to advertise in a way that will give your company an
advantage over others.
Advertising is still a key part of getting consumers to buy these
products, even though Christmas is the biggest time of year when people spend their
hard-earned money. Since we know people usually buy more around the holidays, it
is the part of the company to put out catchy advertisements to pull in
consumers to their product. The more money and effort you put into a good
advertisement, the better chance you have of luring in consumers.
These advertisements are from the newspaper The Philippines
Free Press on Dec 22, 1923. It is the oldest newsweekly in the Philippines,
established in 1907 and was founded by Mr. Robert McCulloch Dick.
Here is a glimpse of Christmas advertisements back then.
