argument 9/11/10

today we had a discussion on why advertisement is needed and does it really work or is it a waste of time

our discussion title was: what is the point of advertising.

this discussion caused a lot of controversy and eventually the whole class was really deep into the argument, and we came up with a lot of argument for and against.

here they are;

for:

• it makes you aware of the product
• it makes the product stand out from all the other products
• It will make the product look more appealing and the product will be remembered by the audience/consumers

Against:

• there’s no point of advertising because the product will still sell
• Most of the time the advert doesn’t have anything to do with the product
• The advert might put people off the product as the advert may be unappealing.
• the product will still be known by word of mouth so adverts arent neccessary
