Advertisements are not the waste of resources. To survive in a market company has to do marketing so that consumers should not forget their products. Like we can see in rural areas people will ask for Colgate instead of toothpaste, lifebuoy instead of bathing soap, Maggie instead of noodles so just because they have very strong marketing strategies that's why they are performing so well in the market. So the company has to do advertisements of their so that people will have a variety of products from same domain from which they can easily choose one product as per their requirements by analysing their product quality, quantity and very important their price value.

Hi, friends, advertising medium is a way by which any person can decide what is the best product or service and they can later switch to that one for which they have decided.
Advertisements help the one who has interest but do not come forward to buy a product or receive any services. It is the best way to make the world modern, advance, fast technology.
I say it has a lot of advantages, of course, disadvantages are also there but it depends on individual thinking.
And the best example is our "IndiaBix" which allows every individual to open up their mindes and allows to publicly exhibit their own ideas thoughts is the best way I say.

In my humble opinion I will advise commercial companies to spend more money on improving product quality, making their prices affordable, improve on customer service while carrying out many P. Are activities. This strategy will increase sales incredibly instead of spending resources on advertising which in most case's end up being misleading when consumers try the product and find no quality. Spend money to improve on this above strategies and I can a sure you that, your customers will be advertisers and brand ambassadors for your company. Just try and see. Conclusively advertising is a wast of time and resources.

I strongly believe, Advertising is not a waste of resources because advertising is a very easy and convenient way of communication. Even if a person is illiterate while seeing an advertisement he/she can easily come to know about the product. Its cost per unit is very cheaper as through one advertising on T. V almost every region can be covered. The best way one can tell about his product. And even helps to increase sales. Consumers feel reputation while purchasing advertised products.
Advertisement can help through following ways:
1. Consumer loyalty.
2. Coverage.
3. Retention.
4. Mass communication etc.

What I believe is that from the company side view it is always profitable but from the customer side view it depends what types of advertisement it is whether it is informative one or the object to lure the customers, forcing them to buy the things make them think that they need them even not they actually any requirement of such thing.
For example,
Consider a person went to the market for vacuum cleaner he bought it after few days he again went to market he found the same product with a huge discount even he don't need it he bought it again in a taught that in future there may be need of it.

What I believe advertisement is not a wasteful resource. See excess of everything is always not up to the mark. But on the contrary, nowadays advertisement is very important not only for gaining goodwill or making the product popular but also advertising help or educate the customers regarding the information of products and also tell the reasons that why they are choosing a product instead of another product of the same line.
So, the advertisement is not a wasteful resource. In fact it is a very creative activity which enhances excitement for both buyers and sellers in the market world.

Advertising is not a waste of resource as being an MBA marketing person, I do not think so if you have enough resources and you do not know how to use it then it is worthless of carrying it too. My word is you should know how to use the advertisement to target your potential customers and target audiences, for example: if you are showing an ad of condom on cartoon network it is obviously a waste of resource if you are showing the same ad during cricket matches as most of the men watches the matches, it may have some impact of advertisement, so the main concern is how you use the resource.

Hi, Friends.
According to me, Advertising is not a waste of money, In today's market scenario where one product is available for different brand, it is necessary for the company to convey the message that how the particular product is different from others and it is possible only through the advertisement. And also we all know the perspective product, should be presented at different platform through a various medium like T.V, Newspaper, Hoardings etc. By knowing the quality of the product through advertisement people generally used to attracted towards the product.

Hello Friends,
As per my knowledge, Advertisement is the best medium to expose the product in the market.
It will gives the Knowledge about the product and it makes a great impact to the people. Not only through the Telecommunication, Advertisements are given through the Internet also. You may consider the GOOGLE AD-SENSE. It makes the product to advertise whole along the world. It gives the brand.
Advertisements about the Automobiles are awesome. It will update the knowledge about technologies in automobiles. In daily life, unconsciously we were updated by this.

Yes, I do partially agree with the statement that advertisement is a waste of resources as an advertisement instead of being the mode of spreading information has just become a commercial propaganda. Whenever you come out of an educational institute people starts to distribute lots of pamphlets, you feel like a rain of pamphlet even if you don't want to take it. So this is somehow wastage to paper media which is also an environmental concern. This is just one example, there are much more. So we are in need to be judicial about the mode of advertisement.
