Advertising gets the consumers close to the products.

People are aware of the pros and cons of a product. They can make their own decisions of what's good for them.

Creates job opportunities for many people.

Advertising is a mean of promoting goods. Since more people become aware, there is more revenue.

Advertising on TV is a big relief from the daily tele shops that have nothing but drama.

Advertising plays an important role in passing information such as AIDS, contraception etc. People are aware of health disorders and how to overcome them.

Advertising gives knowledge regarding any product to the people and giving knowledge to someone is not a bad thing. So, I must say that "advertising is the best source to use resources efficiently and effectively and that too for the people's welfare".

The advertisement is and isn't a waste of resources.

A huge waste of resources is the traditional methods of promotion such as leafleting and other hand-outs that use paper. As a student, my house receives menus and other leaflets daily, and never once have I used one.

If you really understand your consumer, you would understand what channels they engage with and what influences them. i.e. - Social media, using digital methods of advertisement saves a lot of paper, and can also be low cost when using Brand ambassadors to promote products such as clothing.

There isn't really much more I need to explain, save paper by not printing thousands of useless and ignored advertisements. Be smart and research how you can influence your consumer! if they are gen z/x or millenials - social media / online is 100% the best method you can utilise.

Hello everyone according to me advertisement is not bad but it provide awareness among the people for example sensodyne is latest toothpaste which proved better than other product of teeth.

For illiterates also it is good because they can see advertisement on television and can understand.

But advertisement of quality less product give bad impact and leads to opposite discussion.

Hi, Advertisement means bringing something in the eyes of the public by the use of media and I believe that advertisements are not a waste of resources if they are limited to the true meaning of advertisement. With the vast competition in the market advertisement has become a necessity. Spending crores on endorsements and the involvement of celebrities in advertisements does not really help in increasing the value of a product.

The people are literate enough to realise that. It is the quality of the product which matters the most and thats where this money should be invested. Social networking is a very efficient and cheap platform for advertisement these days. Thus advertisements should involve choosing the right platform than the right people.

Thank you.

Advertising is a waste of resources as many companies waste loads of money in the advertisement as it costs very high rather some share of this money could be saved for the helping of the poor. Somehow, it can also be said as wastage of money.

Hi friends, I think advertising is not a waste money because they provide a very good way to know about the upcoming products. But now a days the ads were really disgusting. The ads should be meaningful. The present ads were taking a long time even to understand what the product was being advertised.

Hi friends!

My opinion that for a company to promote its new product, there is no better way than advertising it. Yes I do agree that if the product is good there is no need of an advertisement, but on the very first hand how would one know that such a product exists? Most of us love Apple and we know that it's one of the best products in its domain, but the company doesn't stop advertising, in their way of course! Hence I would put weight to the point that advertisement is not only good but also important for a company through appropriate channels.

Hi friends,

Advertisement is not completely good or bad. It is the best way to launch the new product in the market with believe because consumers should have know about the product then only producer can attain profit. It helps to him.
