People buy a product if it fulfills their needs; there is no need for advertisement. To what extent do you agree or disagree with it?

#people #product #advertisement
It is thought that
consumers
 only buy
products
 that they need and
therefore
advertisements
 are not necessary. I can’t entirely agree with
this
 opinion because ads can help
consumers
 make informed
decisions
 and help businesses grow their revenues.
Advertisements
 provide persuasive messages to help
consumers
 make informed
decisions
 before buying the
products
.
This
 can benefit
consumers
 as ads offer information about
companies
’
products
 to meet
consumers
’ needs and solve their problems. Without ads, it would be difficult for
companies
 to increase their revenues, and
consumers
 would
also
 be uninformed about
products
 that may be useful for them.
For instance
, all multinational
companies
 in Indonesia have reported that their incomes increased after raising budgets to promote their
products
 in various media of
advertisements
such
 as in printed media and on TV commercial breaks. Commercials can
also
 influence
consumers
 to make wiser purchasing
decisions
. Many
products
 are designed to solve pressing problems society has. With suitable campaigns using
advertisements
,
consumers
 can be aware of the issues and support the cause by purchasing the advertised
products
. To give an example, a study conducted by Harvard University’s Business School researched how Impossible Meat, a company producing artificial meat from plants, marketed their product while raising awareness about the danger of consuming meat for Earth and found that the majority of
consumers
 are interested in not only buying the
products
 but
also
 considering Veganism as a lifestyle. Despite some
advertisements
 manipulating
consumers
’ psychology and tricking them into buying
products
 that they do not necessarily need,
advertisements
 are still an effective tool that benefits both
companies
 and
consumers
. In conclusion,
advertisements
 help
companies
 boost revenues and
consumers
 make informed and wiser purchasing
decisions
.
Besides
 that, promotions can
also
 raise awareness about some of the world’s most pressing issues.
