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

It is sometimes believed that

people

are more likely to purchase a

product

because they saw an

advertisement

concerning that in the media. To others,

product

marketing is becoming rampant and

this

has made it lose value.

This

essay intends to discuss both views and my opinion will be spelt out.

To begin

, unrecognition of already existing and newer products in the market has been the order of the day. Good marketing strategies will not only reveal items that have been in hiding for donkey years but will as well promote the awareness of new merchandise by the consumers.

This

is because the majority of the population got to know about the already existing and new products when they are listening to the radio; watching television; surfing the net or even on social media platforms.

Thus

, before an item is been introduced into the market, it should be publicized so that one will know it's available.

However

, when

advertisement

becomes excessive, it devalues those products in the eyes of the buyers.

This

is because

people

's perceptions will begin to change as they may sense that the

product

's quality has reduced.

This

is usually the case with commodities that a lot of

people

have been buying over the years and that are well known.

Thus

, sudden and frequent adverts about them will only result in stirring up dust about the decline in its effectiveness.

For example

, a bread popularly known as Ofoma bread cake has been preferred by many in the past because of its rich milky taste and thickness. But since 2018 the

advertisement

on it heightened which prompted me to buy it only for me to notice a drastic change in the quality of the

product

. In my opinion, I think that the rate at which an item is publicized should be reduced to the barest minimum so that the public won't start seeing it as disturbing. In conclusion, even though some

people

are motivated to acquire goods because of mere

advertisement

. To others, too much of anything is bad and will only make them lose interest entirely.
