The power of advertising


Advertising is everywhere; consequently it’s impossible to escape its influence. Whenever we turn the TV on we are bombarded by powerful advertising messages, and the same happens whenever we turn on the radio, leaf through the pages of a magazine, surf in the net or walk on the street. In fact, advertising makes part of our lives whether we like it or not.
In order to persuade us to buy and buy, marketers use incredible strategies that most people are not aware of. When we go shopping and we are not sure of what product we want, we will remember that advert we saw before. It works ….
However, I must admit that there ads that are true works of art and excellent examples of creativity and genius. Others are really entertaining and make us have a good time. Nevertheless, there should be limits to advertising campaigns.
And you? Do you share the same idea?

I agree with your opinion. I believe ads have some good points, and it can be art, in some cases, but you're right when you say we sould limit it! the couns are larger, and the influence of it is very bad because we can be a sopaholic, and that is indeed a desease...
Be okay :)
