Some people says that adverting is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Other people thinks that advertising is so common that we no longer to pay attention to it. Discuss both sides of view and give your own opinion.

Advertisement has always been a crucial part in the world of marketing. Throughout the decade, we have seen a significant increase in the amount of advertisements, whether it is in the media like television or widespread through social network platforms. The goal of advertisements is to get consumers to buy a targeted production, and while

this

method has been proven considerably successful generally, some people view it as too prevalent to catch the consumers' attention any more. Advertisements can act as a strong persuasive device to seemingly hypnotize people into buying goods and services.

This

is so because of the tactics placed in the messages,

such

as showing people having a good time together when using a particular output, using bandwagon, showing only the upsides of usage, and applying compare and contrast strategies to show the effects of using the device and make it stand out. Even if people do not know it, these messages are repeated several times and soon it may brainwash people to

Finally

go out and get the merchandise.

For instance

, if a person is watching television and sees a certain advertisement of a snack many times, the repeated sight of the scrumptious food may result in that person feeling hungry and succumbing to the advertisement at

last

.

Nevertheless

, there is another point of view in which the widespread of advertisements makes it a normal thing. After watching a dozen of advertisements people will see it as a mere every day routine and cease to pay attention to the message of the advertisement. Some people may even choose to turn off a television channel,

for instance

, only just to avoid seeing and hearing repetitive advertisements. After a certain frequency, they start to get bored and stop paying attention to ads.

Hence

, in the end, the main goal of advertisements is not complete since the people whom the messages are sent out to do not receive that message. A real life example can be seen from advertisements in a particular social media platform, YouTube. In the YouTube marketing mechanism, advertisements are placed before and in between videos, hoping that the viewers would

also

be forced to watch the advertisements, too.

However

,

this

is not usually the case, since many people would just click “Skip Ad“ and continue on. In conclusion, advertisements can be successful in persuading people to purchase goods and services, or they can be unsuccessful in many ways. They are very commonly seen nowadays, but not all of them fulfil their purpose.

Thus

, advertisements must be designed and presented in the correct way to result in the highest effectiveness.
