General Motors may owe over $160 million to its ad agencies but that's not stopping the company from starting a new ad campaign. After filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this week, the company is now reorganizing and reassuring.

If a flyer won't work for you, there are other types of low-cost methods you can use to advertise your business.

The study also found that DVRs aren't cutting companies' profits from advertising but TV advertising does lose money for most businesses.
The 21-paper study will be released in the June issue of the ARF's Journal of Advertising. The study's original purpose was to investigate claims that DVRs are killing TV ad sales, which the study found was not true.

Dell's launch of Della, a website marketing Dell's netbooks to women, isn't giving female consumers a reason to whip out their credit cards. From MSNBC's Let's market PCs like it's 1959 article to Advertising Age's Dell's Della Debacle an Example of Wrong Way to Target Women, Della's approach to targeting female consumers has been widely criticized.
Dell has made changes to Della since it went live May 11. An article on Seven Unexpected Ways a Netbook Can Change Your Life has been changed to 5 Ways to Use a Netbook with references to using your netbook to find recipes online being removed. The Della home page has also been given a makeover with an image of women's clothes matching their laptops being replaced with several other pictures of women lounging around with their netbooks.
Has Dell missed the mark with its Della site?
