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 views and give your own opinion.

These days advertising is to be found everywhere. We see it in from of huge posters on walls, moving images on screens in city centres or through speeches on the radio all over the world. They have proven themself successful but ,

This
essay will discuss both views and provide a personal conclusion. Starting by looking at the fact, that advertising has proven itself successful, it is surely a great way to gain customers. A good and new advert is not only an interesting eye-catcher for viewers but
also
an absolute necessity for new companies. Take a startup
for example
. If they wouldn't invest in
adverts
, and
therefore
spread their product and visibility, to wouldn't gain any customers as nobody would know them. As a matter of fact, for
such
businesses advertisement is the only way for us to get to know them.
On the other hand
is it true that

we costumers are already so used to all these
adverts
on the street that we do not pay
attention
to them anymore.
This
especially goes for our routine outgoings
such
as the daily way to work or school. Hardly anyone will stop and stare at an advert and say ‚oh yes,
this
is exactly what I was looking for.
This
is due to the fact, that most
adverts
are very repetitive in idea and message and from the same or similar companies. To sum up, advertising is indeed a very important tool for our economy and it is especially useful for small companies and start-ups.
However
, is our society these days so used to these
adverts
that many do not pay
attention
anymore due to their repetitive and similar content. I believe if an advertising campaign would demonstrate new or provocative Ideas more often people would pay more
attention
.
