REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Conceptual Framework
Advertising is the non-personal communication of information, usually paid for and persuasive in nature about products ( goods, services and ideas) by an identified sponsor through various media (Aliede in Benson, 2005). According to Kotler (2003), advertising is any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor. Chelmsford (2003) defined advertising as any written, electronic or printed telephone messages or transmitted medium, including film strips, motion pictures and ideas, published, disseminated, or placed before the public, 12 directly or indirectly, for the purpose of creating an interest or inducing a person to sell a life insurance pursuant to a settlement contract. Watson (1990), defined advertising as paid, non-personal communication through various mass media by business firms, non profit organization and individuals who are in some way identified in the message, and who are to inform or persuade members of a particular audience. Gillian (1997) also defined advertising in its simplest way, as a means of drawing attention to something or non-formal method of informing somebody of something. Arens (1996) viewed advertising as a non personal communication of information usually paid for and identified with sponsor through various media. Dyer (1998) stated that advertising is the structured and composed nonpersonal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products (goods, services and ideas) by identified sponsor through various media. The advertising practitioners council of Nigeria (APCON) (1998) defined advertising as a form of communication through mass media about product, services or idea paid for by an identified sponsor. Furthermore, Stanton (1983), defined advertising as consisting of all the activities involved in presenting to a group a non personal, oral or visual, openly sponsored message regarding a product, service or idea. This message called advertising is disseminated through one or more media. Some important consideration should be noted in connection with this definition. First there is a 13 significant difference between advertising and advertisement. The advertisement is the message itself, while advertising is a process. It is a programme or a series of activities necessary to prepare the message and get it to the intended consumers. Advertisement on the other hand is directed to groups of people not individuals. This is the more reason why it is not personal.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, we described the research procedure for this study. A research methodology is a research process adopted or employed to systematically and scientifically present the results of a study to the research audience viz. a vis, the study beneficiaries.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research designs are perceived to be an overall strategy adopted by the researcher whereby different components of the study are integrated in a logical manner to effectively address a research problem. In this study, the researcher employed the survey research design. This is due to the nature of the study whereby the opinion and views of people are sampled. According to Singleton & Straits, (2009), Survey research can use quantitative research strategies (e.g., using questionnaires with numerically rated items), qualitative research strategies (e.g., using open-ended questions), or both strategies (i.e., mixed methods). As it is often used to describe and explore human behaviour, surveys are therefore frequently used in social and psychological research.
