However

as well as

the reason why I believe that advertising is still effective.
To begin
Linking Words
with, many consider that advertising is one of the most viable means to encourage potential customers to buy their products. To explain it simply, it is believed that adverts can effectively raise brand awareness to anyone who might need them.
For example

due to

the fact that their advertising shows that their benefits meet the housemaids’ demand.
On the other hand

idea argue that since there are overwhelming advertisements these days, people are getting used to them and gradually ignoring them. To clarify, there are advertisements everywhere,
such

Therefore

due to

For instance

, studies have revealed that product placement in movies or TV programmes is more likely to turn customers down rather than attract them
due to

the fact that the products have appeared too often. Personally, I am convinced that advertising remains one of the most effective methods to capture individuals’ attention. The main reason is that when watching advertisements over and over again, people will subconsciously think about the products.
For example

, many experienced having ads’ jingles stuck in their head for a few days after listening to them. In conclusion,
