advertise

Broadcast for sales

To advertise is to make something publicly known, typically to promote a product, service, or event: They advertised the sale in the local paper.

Companies advertise to attract customers; individuals advertise to sell belongings or find jobs.

The word extends to unintentional disclosure—you advertise your intentions when your behavior reveals them, or advertise your ignorance by speaking carelessly.
