• advertise 本词

  Specifically means using paid public media - ads, flyers, commercials, social posts - to tell people about a product; more concrete and formal than promote, focused on the channel of communication.

  专指通过广告、传单、电视广告、社交媒体帖子等公开付费媒介告知大众某产品；比promote更具体、更正式，侧重于传播渠道本身。

Push, promote, and advertise all mean getting people to buy a product, but the tone differs. Push is informal and forceful. Promote is general marketing. Advertise means using paid media like ads. Push can also mean a physical push; that meaning is not compared here.

这三个词都表示宣传或推广产品以促进销售，但语气和方式不同：push语气强硬、偏口语，promote泛指各种提升知名度的营销手段，advertise专指通过广告等公开媒介传播信息。这里不比较push的“推（物理动作）”义，也不比较promote的“晋升、提拔”义。
