Cell Phone Advertisements


Now that cell phone companies have 3G and 4G network, internet is accessible without having to use a WiFi connection. In the picture to the left I have a screen shot of Words With Friends (the free version) and on the bottom of the page is an advertisement for a free trial. Nowadays advertising isn’t just for things you can buy instantly, they usually try to give you an incentive. Meaning that most applications available on the iPhone that are up for purchase usually have a free version as well. Although the free version is somewhat comparable to the actual one there is always advertisements that interrupt the free ones and there is levels missing or something that makes the one you have to purchase better.


In this picture there is dollar amounts of how much companies spend on cell phone advertisements. Advertisement companies today spend more money on cell phone ads than before because of how much people use the web on their phones. Smart phones are said to be the most bought product in 2011. Since this assumption has been made of course advertisements on those phones will increase.

  1. Good info in this post but you can be more specific. For example, what you do mean that free apps are "somewhat comparable" to actual apps? Who says that smart phone are the most purchased product of 2011. You can still cite sources without parentheses.
