    Abstract: A business method that includes an RFID tag embedded into (1) a display advertisement (printed or illuminated) or (2) into a product with or without an RFID logo indicating the RFID presence. The display advertisement or product is communicated with by a user of a mobile communications unit (MCU) such as a cell phone. The RFID tag allows the user of the mobile communications unit to quickly obtain additional information regarding the advertised product or service (or unadvertised product or service) using an MCU. Additional information may include product specifications, dealer locations, and real time purchase or contract for services using the MCU (e.g. ordering ink for a printer or batteries for an electronic device). The RFID tag provides the necessary identification information to the user's MCU and retrieves the desired information from a remote server or database using the MCU, service provider, telephone system and/or the Internet.
