It is true that different kinds of

commercials

and promotions appear everywhere in our life. There are voices against advertising simply because it leads people to make a purchase of unnecessities, while others think

consumers

would have access to know new

products

that may be helpful to them. In my opinion, both views make their own sense.

To begin

with, incorrect and misleading

commercials

are certainly not favourable in guiding

consumers

to buy items they need. we were immersed by different kinds of

products

recommendation on TVs, on the internet, so it is hard for the majority of people to distinguish what purchase should be made.

For example

, some recommendations of

products

in newspapers

such

as nutrition

commercials

may be attractive for elderly readers, they may easily trust that advertisement, even though the functions or features of a certain product mentioned in the

ads

are not true. They may still make decisions to buy, which could be a waste of money.

Although

some

commercials

are annoying and may contain untrue information, which seems to be useless, there are still plenty of

ads

that made their purpose in recommending the right product to target

consumers

. In many social media platforms,

for instance

, Instagram and Facebook, which heavily relies on big data and information technology, could provide accurate product recommendations to the viewers based on their interests. In

this

case,

consumers

may willing to watch these

ads

and may decide to make a purchase.

Therefore

,It is a double-win for both

consumers

and businesses. In conclusion, it is no doubt there are

commercials

with misleading content and are not favourable for

consumers

, they could still find useful

products

from the right

ads

.
