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?

Companies

nowadays have a tendency to focus on the innovativeness of their

products

in advertisements. Personally, I contend that pressure from the market is among the major drivers

trend. Despite being a shrewd marketing approach,it is not a particularly positive one from my perspective. There could be an exhaustive list of reasons why

companies

present their

products

as somewhat original, but fierce competition is among the key drivers. When production becomes much more efficient, the market in many industries, particularly in consumer goods, is saturated with a plethora of different

.

This

saturation implies that if manufacturers wish to stay afloat, it is their job to differentiate their

. Many argue that these features are little more than aesthetical novelty, yet they helped Apple attract new buyers and created an upsurge in demand for smartphones with high-quality cameras. Judging from a balanced standpoint, the aforementioned marketing methods arguably come with both benefits and drawbacks, depending on the position we assume. On the one hand, it helps consumers to be better aware of the point of difference in a product, thereby assisting them in selecting the product that best serves their needs.
