Generic advertising promotes a general product category rather than a specific brand, aiming to increase overall demand for the product type. This form of advertising is commonly used by industry groups, trade associations, or government agencies to promote commodities such as milk, beef, or tourism. Generic advertising focuses on the benefits of the product category as a whole, enhancing consumer awareness and influencing purchasing behavior without favoring a particular brand.
