Riza, "product placement" has a specialized meaning. Here is a definition from the web:
An advertising technique used by companies to subtly promote their products through a non-traditional advertising technique, usually through appearances in film, television, or other media.
Product placements are often initiated through an agreement between a product manufacturer and the media company in which the media company receives economic benefit. A company will often pay a fee to have their product used, displayed, or significantly featured in a movie or show.
For example:
Coca-Cola could pay a given fee to have the title character drinking a Coke, instead of a Pepsi beverage, or
Toyota might pay to have one of the characters drive their newest automobile.
Through product placement, companies hope that moviegoers will take note of the products used by the characters, and therefore think more strongly about using the products themselves.
Some people consider product placement to be deceptive and unethical.
