    Solution

    Advertising is more expensive on a cost-per-contact basis than publicity. Advertising is a paid form of non-personal communication about an organization, good, service, or idea by an identified sponsor. A non-personal, indirectly paid presentation of an organization, good, or service is termed publicity. Bad publicity often has a much greater reach than advertising.
