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 negative development?

Advertising is the easiest and most usable way for corporations to promote their products. They can rely on celebrities, or set a positive image without any details of what they are selling.
However
, the most common way is to show a certain feature which they want to emphasize. In some businesses, there is a new
trend
to make ads focusing on the new aspects of their items.
This
might be the basic method to sell things they produce.
This
essay will explore the reason for
this
trend
and the pros and cons

.
To begin
with, some
people
think that
this
trend
would be a good chance to be informed about what is new in a certain market.
For example
, one of my colleagues bought a new cell phone right after she saw the advertisement. Since that advert pronounced the improved camera performance and at that time, she was looking for a resort which can alternate a telescope whenever she went to concerts.
This
could be a pro of
this
trend
.
On the other hand
, my view on
this
issue is quite opposite. Advertising usually convinces the community to buy something constantly.
As a result
, a lot of folks purchase something which

This
is the first and the worst cons.
This
atmosphere often leads to consumerism and it naturally gives rise to concerns about overused resources. I can take my experience as an example. I bought a new food container a few weeks ago through a SNS promotion. The advert showed the new function that could store vegetables for a longer time than the previous ones.
People
including me who purchased
this
commodity would think that it was a good way not to waste food.
However
, I started to purchase more foods because I had a belief that the containers would keep these foods well.
In other words
, I rather spent more compared to the past.
This
is the
last
cons of
this
trend
. It could produce a tremendous trash problem.
To sum up
,
this
trend
would be useful for some
people
.
However
, it generally tends to cause consumerism, resource overuse, and pollution. For these reasons, emphasizing too much on new aspects would be a bad idea.
