Services marketing relates to the marketing of services, as opposed to tangible products. A service (as opposed to a good) is typically defined as follows:
The use of it is inseparable from its purchase (i.e., a service is used and consumed simultaneously)
It does not possess material form, and thus cannot be touched, seen, heard, tasted, or smelled.
The use of a service is inherently subjective, meaning that several persons experiencing a service would each experience it uniquely.
For example, a train ride can be deemed a service. If one buys a train ticket, the use of the train is typically experienced concurrently with the purchase of the ticket. Although the train is a physical object, one is not paying for the permanent ownership of the tangible components of the train.
Services (compared with goods) can also be viewed as a spectrum. Not all products are pure goods, nor are all pure services. An example would be a restaurant, where a waiter's service is intangible, but the food is tangible.

Advertising and Society
Life without advertising would be dull
with out the advertisement the life color will dull and unisexual because if u don't see a charming face on the try or any their media u will not able to please itself and can not enjoy the beauty of life.

Consumers feel that advertising is everywhere and that this ubiquity has evolved over time. As such advertising is as much part of the environment as the traffic and the trees. For some, mainly the older respondents, there is perhaps too much advertising, too much pressure to buy but the majority embrace it as part of life. When asked to think about life without advertising the response was that life would be very, very dull. There would be a lack of essential and desirable information. There would be less entertainment. There would be less street colour.
Advertising Role in Shaping or Mirroring Society
Does advertising reveal our society as it is, as it wants it to be, or does life mirror he images brought to life by advertising? The answer to this question is controversial, but, I believe that advertising and society observe and simultaneously reflect each other depending upon who is looking into the mirror.
"We see life not as it is, but as we are."
Advertising mirrors values
Advertising professionals tend to believe that the best they can do is spot trends and develop advertising messages that connect with them. Advertisers believe advertising mirrors values rather than sets them.
Competition in the Marketplace
Advertising serves to drive competition in the marketplace by stimulating consumer spending and ultimately increasing the amount of money that businesses make. Advertising does not necessitate that business improve its products or service due to competition, but I do believe that competition requires that the advertising produced must match the product benefit
Dynamic Marketplace
Advertising stabilizes an otherwise dynamic marketplace. As consumers remain cognizant of products through various types of advertising, companies are not as susceptible to changes or shifts in the ebb and flow of business. Each business is also forced to maintain its prices within a reasonable range compared to its competitors. Consumers are not unwilling participants in this system, they consciously and freely participate, and are fully aware, and can also distinguish between facts and false claims from the marketplace.
Creates a Want
Advertising creates a want where there was no need. It stimulates purchase
