Abstract: In general, the method of advertising utilizes a program which brings information generally found in newspaper or other types of weekly advertising supplements to a persons home via the television or pre-recorded media such as videotape and compact discs, and other broadband or satellite delivery systems. The method of advertising utilizes digital electronic procedures and components to create, store, edit, and organize, a variety of photographic or design images. When an advertisement is fully assembled a catalog index bar which represents the sequence in which the retailer(s) and their product images or merchandise categories will appear is created and placed to appear over a portion of the images visible on the screen. This locator index bar dynamically functions to apprise viewers of their present viewing position in the context of the total program.
