Location-based marketing is a new type of advertising that combines with GPS services on mobile devices in order to provide local advertising to potential consumers. This basically means that if a person is passing a shop an advertiser can know about it and actually send relevant ads, coupons etc. to that person. Although this might be something off of the Minority Report, however, it’s an extremely useful marketing strategy.

As pharmaceutical products directly affect people's lives and health, many industrialized countries ban DTC advertisements; the United States and New Zealand are the only industrialized countries that allow DTC advertising of prescription medicines. However, there is a controversy over whether DTC advertising, as one of the most effective forms of mass communication, should be more regulated than it is now. This debate is ongoing. This research argument, however, contends that people need stronger regulations against many DTC advertisements in the pharmaceutical industry because they are usually manipulative and misleading to people.
