Promotion keeps products in customers' minds and stimulates demand through ongoing advertising and publicity mentions in press. Promotion includes advertising, sales, and public relations activities. Advertising brings products to potential and current customers' attention, focusing on a specific product. Publicity is media mentions where organizations have less message control than with advertising. An example distinguishes between advertising a circus with a sign versus promoting it by walking an elephant through town, generating publicity by damaging a flower bed and public relations by getting the mayor to laugh about it.
