Marketing is a powerful tool widely used by businesses to attract potential customers. Among the numerous methods of advertising, emphasizing that products are new or have unique features has become the most popular strategy.

In my opinion, this trend is a positive development because it fosters innovation and offers consumers a variety of choices.
