Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The issue of whether advertisements help or make us buy things we do not need is a matter of concern for many. Critics argue that

ads

inform the public about new products which can be essential to daily living,

however

others and I believe adverts encourage buyers to shop for unwanted products.

This

essay will discuss the latter view by using examples from Dail Mail UK magazine and TV advert, starring Rihanna.

Firstly

, according to a recent survey done by Dail Mail UK magazine, many

people

buy unnecessary items upon seeing the same

ads

again. Many marketing companies use repeat advertisement strategy to target

people

into buying unwanted purchase. The survey

also

found that one-

third

of individuals using web platforms

such

as Facebook, bought more products than any other

ads

. Based on these results, it can be said that if a company advertises their item frequently, especially on social media, it can result in more

people

buying their product.

Therefore

, undoubtedly it can be said that adverts do lure

people

into buying their merchandise.

In addition

to the repetition of

ads

, another reason why

ads

make us buy things we do not need is by making us desire stuff that we see on others. Many advertisers hire celebrities to use their product and talk about how it has improved things for them, resulting in many individuals desiring the same effect and

hence

, purchasing the same product.

This

strategy is effective as I bought an item the same way, I kept seeing TV advert, starring Rihanna, claiming a new face mask which rejuvenates skin in a month. The ad talked about how the new face mask is used by

such

a popular person and is affordable to any common person. To conclude from the aforementioned examples, I firmly believe

ads

motivate

people

to buy their unnecessary merchandise by using consistent

ads

and popular

people
