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.

Hi friends. According to me advertising is not a waste of resource. Through advertising.

People get the knowledge as well as information about the new product and new brand which comes in a market. At home we get all information about the product, we no need to go in a market and search it out their.

Advertising is a way through which company advertise their new product and the innovation which company has done in their old one.

Advertising is a medium through which a company either its is large one or small or medium convey their message about the product and other thing which is related to the product. Advertising is a best-est way of introducing the product.

Even most of the company through advertising tell us their social services to the public.

In my view, I am completely disagree with this.

Why because with out advertisement we can't launch any products. Advertisement is helps to give some information about products through on. Tv, newspaper, radio or any media's. It helps to increase sales activities.

And.

It is also helps it customers how means.

Advantages:.

1. Products features.
Advertisements help to know the futures about products without any costs.

2. Place of availability.
We can find out products availability place with the help of advertisement.

3. Price structure.
Advertisements help to know the price of the products.

4. We can make final decision about the products with the help of advertisement.

The real purpose of advertising is to inform the consumers and customers about the new products. I feel that they are necessary because it helps to educate the public and create awareness regarding the new products. Though it is a source of revenue for publishers, advertising is needed. It employs an openly sponsored non-personal message to promote or sell a product, service or an idea. Advertisements are indirectly connected to the public because of these advertisements we can know about some particular things like new gadgets, new products etc. Advertising also helps the government to about the problems of the country and It can indirectly be called as the backbone of the country. Finally, I think that they are not a waste of resources and time.

The advertisement is not a waste of resources by advertising for any purpose we make the market more competitive, awareness among all.

And more important for example if any company go for advertising their products to make a good impression of their product in market they give lot of schemes on their product to increase the demand for that particular product of a company so by seeing this other company which deal with similar products also go for lot of good schemes hence it increase the market of product and also give lot of benefits to customer by this both company and customer get profit by giving advertisement.

And if we advertising for awareness among people it also educates people and helps them a lot in a new way of goog survival.

Advertising is one of the pillars of marketing. Its job is to make people aware of the existing and new products that launched in the market every now and then. But the question is, does advertising really fulfilling its responsibility?

Just in order 2, mint money by luring them to by the products isn't the right way. Many advertisements that we see today are misleading. The false claims made by such advertisements breaks the customer's faith in the company and the business ends up loosing its customer instead of making. Unfortunately, there are many companies who fail to understand that their long-term interest lies in serving the customers right and not by coaxing them to buy things, where they only end up wasting their precious money.

In my point of view, Ad draws our attention towards that particular product, most of us are not ready to think whether it is necessary for us.

Most of the ad make us fool.

I won't say it's merely waste but nowadays disadvantage of Ad is more.

It is more business oriented. Advertising to bring awareness is really good but in the case of introduction a product most of the ad make us fool.

Issuing pamphlet increased the waste papers in the roadside. Not only that by saving papers we can also save more trees. Also keeping banners has to be avoided. Since it causes more accident.

I conclude that advertising has to be there to guide people only in a correct way. We also have the responsibility to think and buy.

I totally disagree with the statement. Advertising is not a waste of resource, it is the most important ingredient in the process of promotion of a product in a market to attract the attention of the customers. Nowadays, the advertisement is done on a digital platform which is very cost effective as compared to an offline advertisement. Digital Marketing has made the branding very easy, flexible and instant response from customers. 50% of the businesses are now dependent on it for their brand promotion, the reason behind it is that audience is more active on the internet. Without advertising, the brands will not be known to the customers and it's the technique to spread awareness to the targeted audiences.

I don't think advertising is a waste of resources. Advertising helps public know about the product, about products benefits, use, how to use, why to use, where to use. It helps in comparing different brands. Until public will know about the product how they are going to purchase it, so advertisement is needed. But for advertisement resources is needed like paper for pamphlet or giving ad in newspaper, magazines or displaying ads on hoardings but I don't think it is wastage of paper, as here paper is used for advertising nd awareness of public, so it is for welfare of public So here resources are not getting waste, they are helping public. So we can conclude Advertising is not a waste of resources.

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.
