The issue of whether popular consumer goods' high sales are a result of advertising influence or genuine societal needs has been a subject of much discussion. In my opinion, I disagree with the statement that advertising is solely responsible for the high sales of consumer goods.
These days, with a hoard of consumer products available in the market, some people have difficulty deciding which products they really need and what they just want to have. Cut-throat competition among brands to win consumers has become widespread, and advertisements play a key role in today’s marketing.
