In recent years, advertising has been heavily employed to increase market share when competition among companies is more intense than ever.
However

, while some feel that advertisements are now so commonplace that

are not affected by them anymore, I agree with those who believe that advertising today is even more powerful than in the past. On the one hand, it could be argued that advertisements tend to be powerless It is because of a common belief among many
customers

that commercials seldom convey the truth about the
products

.
For example
Linking Words
, there is an online shop named "Xiaozclothes", which is received a lot of negative feedbacks and ratings one out of five stars, because the
products

do not have the same colour or quality as it is presented in the advertising images.
As a result
Linking Words
, there is a large number of individuals have developed negative attitudes towards advertising.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, I side with those people who still believe that advertisements are still effective. It is because some large companies have hired celebrities to endorse their

who are fans of those famous people.
For instance
Linking Words
, Gentle Monster, a luxury brand that sells fashion glasses, invited Jennie Kim, a famous Korean idol to collab and promote their
products

.
As a result

, a glasses collection promoted by Jennie was sold out after a few hours.
In addition
Linking Words
, celebrities always check the quality of the
products

before making a decision to co-operation, so
customers

may believe in the advertising of those famous people. To conclude,
although
Linking Words
ordinary citizens are likely to have a more unfavourable perspective towards advertising, advertisers still manage to find potential buyers thanks to the massive data they have.
Therefore
Linking Words
, on balance, I believe that the power of advertising is even stronger than in the past.
