In business you have to spend money to make money. Some companies spend huge amounts on advertising. A company can not __1__ its customers to buy a particular product
if they do not even know it exists. Effective commercials and advertisements can __2__ big profits. An important part of advertising is having a good company logo. Logos are not __3__
to be creative, just unique. Most of all they need to be easy to recognize, like Nike's "swoosh," for example. Perhaps one of the advertising industry's most __4__ logos is McDonald's
yellow "M." The McDonald's "Golden Arches" logo was created in 1962 and __5__ all over the world. One study showed that the average American child becomes familiar with the
McDonald's logo before the age of two. Does this really make a difference though? __6__ It creates brand loyalty at a very young age which results in enormous profits for McDonald's.
Almost half of all children in North America have been to McDonald's at least once __7__ the time they are six years old. __8__, such loyalty to the Golden Arches can be a problem for
parents who want to reduce their children's intake of junk food. Never underestimate the power of young children to persuade their parents to take them to McDonald's! Of course,
McDonald's does __9__ rely on its logo to sell its food products. Every year it spends hundreds of millions of dollars on commercials, ads and charity events. When you consider that
McDonald's has over 30,000 restaurants worldwide, you realize just __10__ important advertising must be for the company.
