Advertising is a Waste of Resources

In my view, advertising is not a waste of money. Because in most of the cases, the product reaches the people through advertisement. We should consider the money that we are using in the advertisement as an investment. For example, if Apple Company wants to release a new version of iPhone, how the people knows the news? Through advertisement only. On the other hand, the advertisement should be in a conscious way. The companies should not try to blame the customers with their false advertisements.

I don't think advertising is waste of Resources. As advertising is done to make people aware of the product that has recently been launched or the benefits of the product. But sometimes we see that in a particular advertisement lot of resources is being wasted. At one side, you are giving idea of not to waste resources and at other you are wasting too many resources to just presenting a new product. It is similar to a coin as it has to sides one benefits and another wasting of resources.

Advertisements, even though a bit annoying, are beneficial to everyone from the poor low wage earners to large multinational companies. Advertisements are now the base of large organizations who derive a major part of their income through advertisements. Also, the poor benefit through this as they get to know about the cheapest product available with the best quality, since in a competition consumer is the king.

In my point of view, advertisement is "not waste of money", because when a product launch the market, how the people to know about the product. By the advertisement the quality and quantity of the product will reach the people. Advertisement is the best way to communicate the people.

So, the advertisement is not waste of resources.

The 5 ways advertising hurts us:

Advertising funded media censors content: Media owners, writers and editors self censor so as not to offend the advertisers who fund their work. That is not fair. Citizens deserve to be informed of news events even when the content may be damaging to advertisers.

Advertising funded media is not democratic: A basic principle of democracy is that citizens should have equal access to power. Most of our mass media is Advertising Funded Media. This means that any individual or organization that is wealthy can have a super access to power. If you have the money you can make your voice heard in the mass media simply by buying advertising time or space. That is undemocratic.

Advertising funded media is a rip off: Citizens as consumers pay for the advertising every time they purchase a product or service. The cost of advertising is built into the price. That is only half of the rip off. Citizens pay again by having their time wasted while they wait for advertisements that are interrupting. For 2013 in Canada we are as a nation wasting $420 billion of our time in exchange for $40 billion worth of media. For 2013 as individuals on average we are each wasting $12, 000 of our time in exchange for $1, 140 worth of media. For more on the rip off: Big Rip Off.

Advertising funded media creates unfairness in the market place: A good thing about a market system is that it is supposed to promote progress. When new products or services are developed that are superior they should rise to the top and replace the inferior. Not though when we have Advertising funded media. Established products and services with masses of capital behind them live on long past the time they should. Competition in the market has become a competition for quality of marketing hype instead of a competition for quality.

Advertising funded media drowns out citizen's free expression: How can an individual that has very limited capital voice an opinion to the greater society when that society is polluted with messages that are being repeated by machines that are exclusively controlled by the wealthy? Nice that we can say what ever we want almost and not have to worry about being imprisoned or tortured and executed but still not quite fair that there is nowhere near an equality of voice between the rich and the poor.

Hi, friends.

In my point of view, advertising is not wasting of resources because by advertising we can introduce our product into the market and we can give a brief details about our product quality and price so we can reduce the middle persons to introduce it.

Advertisement can reach to each and every person so it is easy to increase our product sales by advertising.

According to me, advertisements are not a waste of time, it is just a tool through which you can make the customers aware about your product and after seeing the ad again n again the brand gets fit into your mind. Let me explain this to you with an eg like even these days many people in rural ask for Colgate rather than asking for toothpaste, this is the power of advertisements. N in terms of fair n lovely as a consumer we can file a case against it because they are portraying a wrong image but still consumers consumer it assuming that dey will turn fairer.

So there are both prons yet corns of advertising its upto the consumer, to trust the brand or they shouldn't.

In my view, advertising is the best way to reach out to the people so it is not the waste of money. As by famous Hindi proverb "Jo dikhta hai wo bikta hai" so people will buy the product if we show it differently.

Advertising plays a very important role because it provides all info related to attribute, benefits pros or cons so that customer can know easily about the product and its makes customer decision making fast at the time of purchase if they had seen the ADV.

I don't think advertisement is a waste of resources, in my opinion, advertisement is very helpful for knowing about the product and aware of the product. And is helpful to people they can know how to use, why to use, and where to use this product. Some times advertisement is negative impact. Many people buy the product blindly to advertisement no rules and morals.
