#topic #people #advertisements #products #lives
Advertising is to let you know about the
things
 that are available in the market. The
things
 that are usually trending are seen in
advertisements
. A TV channel profits by advertising its sponsors. It is their need to run an Ad on TV as if they don't do so they will lose their sponsors. Whether you should buy a thing only by looking at it in the
advertisements
 is not a wise answer. They don't emphasize you to buy anything. They just tell you the good points of everything. The decision of buying those
things
 depends on you and your needs. Whenever you go to the market you see a variety of
things
 but you do not buy everything, you buy only
things
 that are needed. So blaming the
advertisements
 for your extra expenses solely may be wrong. I personally never pay attention to those
advertisements
 that show
things
 which are of no use to me like electronics because my home is well equipped with those. I
also
 do not buy
things
 like cereals, chocolates, icecreams and juices by just seeing them on advertising boards because I am not fond of that, but I like to try the variety in
things
 like shampoo, soaps and beauty products so I take interest in their
advertisements
. The help me to decide beforehand at home what I need to survey in the market. These advertisement boards sometimes help us to know about new offers regarding many
things
,
such
 as summer camps, the need for loans for the needy, zakat donation information to any NGO or donation offers. So everything is there in the world around us we need to select what to choose.
