Some people say that advertising is extremely succesful 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 own opinion.

It is considered that advertising is a good marketing tool in attracting
customers
to buy the goods being promoted.
However

can be effective if they are created while taking into account their

work because they promote stuff that

it makes things easier for businesses to reach out to their potential buyers.

This
method works because
people
already want to buy one and promotions give them one

push before they make the purchase.
On the other hand
, some
advertisements
do not work because they are too plain and boring to a point that
people
would not notice the
items
that the marketers are trying to promote. Some promotional
items
use the same kind of design every time. The reason being is that they do not put enough creativity to change their designs, commercials, and whatnot, to give a hook to the viewers so that they want to at least look at the
items
being promoted.
For example
, if a company keeps on promoting 100
items
using one same design template, it will not catch

waste. In my opinion,
advertisements
will only be successful if the marketers know who their
target
customers
are, study the behaviours and interests these
customers
exhibit and create promotional materials that will hit the right note with their specific audience. If none of these
