Abstract

Advertisements of commodity or service of companies and stores are not easily delivered to customers and readers. Even when the advertisements are delivered with difficulty, the advertisements are lost or discarded without being stored for a long period. Thus, the advertisements are hardly memorized. When conventional four types of mass communication are used, cost effectiveness is poor. When an Internet media is used, it is difficult to attract an attention. Thus, advertising technology capable of exposing individual advertising material while being connected with printing medium and Internet medium is required to cause an action. Calendar numbers are regarded as an advertising medium, advertisements and a calendar are printed integrally on both sides of pages and published. To achieve this, a layout format of combined advertisement for laying out advertisement frames having page numbers or calendar numbers is provided so that the advertisements are invited and laid out on a blank page located at a reverse side of a calendar page. A new advertisement tool is provided to create and bind a catalog calendar (registered trademark) which is an information medium for keeping good relation with customers. A frame number inserted in the advertisement frames is converted to an advertisement number or a commodity/service number. In addition, the calendar numbers and advertisement date numbers are printed on the both sides of the paper and uploaded on the Internet while being in association with each other. Thus, printing, publishing, Internet delivery and commercial transaction are secured by smooth editing technology.
