Advertising Makes You Aware, But Are You Aware Of It?

We see it everyday, we either be convinced or not, but it is impossible to say and do that no form of advertising has not affected us. It's purpose is to invite people to buy a service or product in which of course will cost something.

Imagine if no one advertised anything, nothing at all. Getting informed about these products and services would be so much harder. Let's say you are in front of a bank establishment that you've never heard of, will you try your luck in it? Or go to a bank that you already heard of?



Advertising affects the decision making of people. It leads them to what they know is good. It's what drives the economy, if advertisements wasn't invented, the circulation of money would be slower and unproductive.

It can also be a form of entertainment depending on the cleverness of the advertisement.

So much for informing and convincing that it also persuades people to buying and spending. Which is a lost for the end of the consumers. Can result to materialism. Not all advertisements are true, sometimes misleading and sometimes just plain lying about the product.



Everything has its pros and cons.
