1) Advertisements are used to decrease your stores selling time, to use them you have to buy them off the market and place them in your store (there is a button for it in every store)

2) Supply is the number of goods that have been sold in that market
Demand is the number of goods people want in that market

So if your market has low supply your products will sell faster, but if supply if greater than demand then your selling times will increase like a helium balloon.

3) In Kapilands Supply and Demand and advertising only effect selling times and indirectly prices

For example if you can sell diamonds rings for 10000c in 1 minutes

With full advertising you can either
sell 2 diamond rings for 10000 in 1 minute
or sell 1 diamond ring for 12500 in 1 minute

With Supply and Demand
at 0 supply you can could sell 1 a minute but with 100% supply you could only sell one every 100 minutes (Its usually worse than that).

Hope this helps

Stores can have up to 40,000 advertising points in them- you can put more in and the system doesnt stop you BUT THIS IS POINTLESS so always check you arent putting to many in as advertsing fully 1 stores costs 1-1.5mil and over a few stores that adds up.

Ads are reccommended for any stores over 100m2 and halve the time to sell a certain item.

The supply is the amount of products other people are selling in that area eg If I sell 10,000apples in Turkey and im the only seller there then the supply will be 10,000 apples. If I sell 10,000 apples in Turkey and someone else sells 5,000 apples in turkey then the supply is 15,000apples(adds up you see).

You can try to control markets by owning large portions of them( eg say I sold 100,000 apples a day out of a supply of 120,000 apples daily) This gives you an edge to change the market as you want.

Relate it to real life- you walk into a corner shop and see a twix bar for 20p... now there are many more twix bars up the street in the super market but they cost 50p each so you buy up these 20p ones and they quickly run out. now all the other people have to go to the supermarket and pay 50p.

The next day someone really wants twix bar again and they see the price is 55p in the supermarket... ok not great they think and go down to the corner shop and see a twix bar for 30p... ok they say to themselves thats a great deal and they buy it.

Repeat and repeat eventually the supermarket will sell at a fiver and the little shop can sell at 4quid and still get the same amount of sales

Okay a little OTT but i works out
