Some people say advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Others think advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss these views and give your opinion.

It is argued by a set of individuals that broadcasting is useful in convincing the public to purchase items while others believe it is so pedestrian to the point where people find it irrelevant. In my opinion, advertising can never be saturated because people’s constant demand of items. On one hand, people think brand influencing has no effect on people anymore
as a result
of the outdated template being used. The style and manner which advertising agencies use currently has been in existence for quite some time now and is not suitable for the current age and

to see. A good example can be seen in a logistic business called DHL as there was a time when items were sent and delivered via post offices until the owner decided to deliver items to people by himself and started handing out flyers to convincing people to patronize him as he could deliver their letters and items in a shorter timeframe than the post office. With increasing patronage and adverts from people’s referrals, the business grew and other people after seeing how successful it was joined. In conclusion,
although
a few people might think advertising has no influence on purchases, I believe it is pertinent for demands to be met.
