In my Venn diagram, "advertize" is a smaller circle wholly surrounded by "promote." "Advertize" suggests to me there is a marketing effort with paid ads or something like that behind it. It's simultaneously promoting whatever but promotion can be much broader. Preference doesn't really come into it.
Why do you write it with z? advertise ~~advertize~~
I agree advertise is an element of the promote-set.
Because I swipe typed it and didn't give it another thought. I'm gonna leave it as is so your comment continues to make sense here and thank you for the correction.
