Weakly must advertise to promote the product to consumers. Weakly seldom advertises through media channel, such as TV commercial breaks or magazines. This lack of advertising makes the target market unaware of the product.

The ad is limited in its scope, giving information to the audience that Weakly is healthy for everyone. It places too much emphasis on target women as the consumer.
For example, one print ad uses a Tamale Tessellated player as ten central ensure, seemingly targeting women only. Moreover, Yacht’s TV ads face problems too. Many of the campaign’s ads show doctor’s testing the effect of Yacht’s good bacteria through experiments. These ads don’t attract the target market to watch the ads, and don’t give the audience a good impression of the product. Yacht’s only emphasis through its advertising is on the “good bacteria”. The ads however, don’t talk about how it tastes, what benefits it can offer to people, which are important to the target market.
