Though advertisement is shown in the profit and loss a/c and not on the balance sheet, it is an investment from the business point of view because it impacts the business for a long time. We must not forget about the consumer's brand loyalty -- once a consumer becomes brand loyal, he can remain loyal for a long time. But on the other hand, expenditures cannot attract consumers.

A characteristic of investments is that they add something to the value of the product. But most expendituresare unwanted, and every firm wants to reduce them. Overall, since advertisement can help a business to increase product demand, it can be an investment, not merely an expenditure.
