What is the dictionary definition of Flighting?

Dictionary Definition


Flighting is an advertising timing strategy where advertisements or commercials are run during a period (called a flight) followed by a period of no advertising (called a hiatus) followed by a flight and so on. This practice is contrary to the recency theory which argues that any gap in promoting a product will hurt its sales and, therefore, advertising should be continuous.
