In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are new in some way. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or a negative development?

Businesses
these days tend to advertise their new
products
by highlighting the novelty of those
products
. There are obvious reasons behind
this
strategy. The market nowadays is overloaded with options. Every other day, new variants of
products
are being launched. From grocery supermarkets to technology stores, the consumer comes across

variety, and additions to

existing variety are being made on

basis.
This
makes it very difficult for any new product to attract customers’ attention.
This
is where the role of
such
kinds of advertising strategies comes in. For any new product
that is
being introduced in a market already flooded with similar alternatives, it has to have some novelty to it: a certain “newness”, some discrete
features
that distinguish it from the hoard of already available substitutes and help it gain a consumer base. And
this
is the advertising “glitch” that
businesses
hold on to in order to make their newly launched
products
stand out among the rest, by advertising these as something that was not previously available, or something that caters

unmet consumer needs/demands. For the most part,
this
strategy has positive implications for both the consumers and the
businesses

Also
, in
this
era of branding and advertisement, some people blindly follow the trend of getting the newer and updated versions of every possible article, like gadgets etc.,without having any need or use for it, at all.
To conclude
, advertising the unique or novel
features
of newly introduced
products
by manufacturers is an effective marketing strategy, and is beneficial to both
businesses
and consumers, at large.
