When it is public relation you cannot have any control over it the media presents the truth and you have to accept both positive and negative factors.
• Validity: When you go for an advertisement they can be repeated accordingly as you pay. This may be extended to years, in case of a public relation once when you submit a press release it will be circulated only once and no journalist will keep posting the same press release again and again.
• The perspective of the customers: When a person watches an ad he can clearly know that it is something displayed in the intention to sell them and if he needs he may also take a step to buy them. When it is a public relation the customer may or may not know that the product is for sale and this reduces the percentage of conversion.

• Targeted audience: In an advertisement, you can focus on the audience that you target on. For example, you can choose the time of telecasting, a page of printing and several other factors. In public relation, it reaches the wider group and they may or may not need your product.
• Special events: Sometimes you create your own special event and it may not look to advise them on yourself at those instances public relation may help you. They publish them and thus it reaches to a number of people and people draws interest in your event. This is applicable to both positive and negative factors.
