More and more people want to buy famous brands of clothes, cars and other items. What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
It is irrefutable that branded
products
and services have become increasingly popular nowadays. This
essay intends to discuss the reasons for this
increasing brand
consciousness. While
there are some drawbacks of

to
this
trend, I consider it to be far more beneficial.
There are many reasons why people
are going after brands
. The first reason is that these are considered a status symbol. Brands
speak about the person who is buying them. Secondly
, advertising and the media have spread awareness about these brands
like wildfire. Branded items are also
shown to have better quality and thus
people
prefer them over other products
. Moreover
, these brands
have come within the pocket of the ordinary person. With the growing economy, the purchasing power of people
has gone up, which also
makes them go for brands
.
The increasing brand
focus and consciousness has
many advantages. The main advantage is that companies now emphasize Correct subject-verb agreement

reputation, and hence
people
are offered better services. To cite an example, if a person buys a branded cell phone, but unfortunately
it stops working for some reason, he gets a full replacement, provided it is within the warranty period. Companies are Add a comma

image. Another positive effect is that these brands
have led to the emergence of
another big industry, which is of imitations or copies. This
secondary industry is catering to a far bigger population and is adding a lot to the economy.
On the downside, brands
provide a feeling of inadequacy among those people
who cannot afford them. Sometimes, people
end up overspending on such
items and this
upsets the family budget. Some people
may even resort to petty crime

crimes
such
as shoplifting, pickpocketing and chain snatching. Finally
, people
are becoming workaholics to buy such
products
, and are failing to draw a line between work and leisure and also
between work and family, which is adding to their stress and strain.
To sum up
, brand
heedfulness can be attributed to many reasons. Despite the few drawbacks, I believe this
rising lure of branded products
to be a positive development overall
