According to me, advertising is not a waste of resources. As advertising provides various option to select which product is good among the market. It's a 50/50 concept 50% true and 50% lie though without advertisement a manufacturing company cannot convey its products to the market.

From my opinion, Advertisement is not a waste one because if there is no more advertisement then the product can't be reached, and if there is no more Advertisement then the product can't be reached in every nook and corner of our world. If there is no more advertisement then the conversation and interaction between producers and buyers.

You know Sony or apple or Microsoft or LG or Samsung or Cree are relatively big companies. If they hire a brand ambassador and giving them money it means they are wasting money.

I think Sony and apple are the big names rather then any brand ambassador. These both companies making the reputation of brand ambassador not the reputation of their company.

I think companies should focus on providing the solutions for person's problem. They should come up with innovative ideas to make their product reliable and cheaper.

Let me give you guys an example. Last night I just try to decide to buy led lights. While searching on Google I find so many companies. I am going to invest almost $10000 and may be I will spend this amount of money only one time in my life on lighting. So I have decided to search on Google to buy cheap and reliable lighting. I checked so many things.

The Lumens.
The price.
The Wattage.
The warranty.

There is a brand giving 10 years warranty and price is reliable. I searched more and find another brand which is relatively cheap and giving 5 years warranty. I choose the one which will give 5 years warranty and cheap. But if a brand who is giving 10 years warranty will give cheap product I will surely buy it.

I do not check who is the brand ambassador of this company. Lol. Why china is spreading all over the world. Who is the brand ambassador of China. Lol. Or are there any brand ambassador of Chinese products. No! they are focusing on one factor which is price. There are only few ppl in this world who are not price conscious. They may care about brand ambassador but most of them are price conscious.

You know what the strategy of these brands is to generate the demand of their product. But they fail to realize that there is always a demand of their product now focus on quality and price.

There are two type of ppl in this world. Those who showoff and those who do not showoff. Those who showoff buy only those product which are doing showoff and those who do not believe in showoff buy cheap and reliable product.

I can explain every thing in detail. Now days Microsoft windows is good company but when someone come up with a new product which will be relatively cheap and better then the Microsoft the ppl will surely switch towards it.

I know there are few software are there in the market and ppl are not switching towards them. Because they are not publicizing them self. If they publicize them self that our software is better then the Microsoft and the you will not face the same problems in our software which you face in Microsoft then ppl will surely move towards them. I know these relatively new operating software do not understand marketing tricks because they do not understand human nature.

Human being always search for perfection. The one who try to make his product perfect will be the best. There is always room for new ppl but if they have talent.

According to me, Advertising is not a waste of resources. If a new product enters the market, we can easily aware of it through an advertisement. Every time we cannot go the market or store and we cannot know about each and every product or brand.

Through an advertisement, we will come to know the features of a particular product sitting at home. In today's world advertisement becomes an essential part of the business.

The outcome with an advertisement is spending huge money on advertisements is insane from a consumer point of view because the firms will charge the ad expenditure from the consumer itself. Also spending a lot of amount on brand ambassadors to promote the product makes the consumer to pay a higher price.

In this way, advertising has both pros and cons.

In my point of view, advertisement is not a bad resource because it help people to know about the product about their quality about their price it helps them to know about new product come int he market its a better way to tell people about products eg in our country any college is open if they don't give advertisement how people will know about that college so if they give advertisements then they will know about that.

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 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.

Hi, advertising is one of the best way to launch a product in a public. Within few minutes the concept is explained with the best attributes of the product and their quality benefits.

In advertisement brand value also plays a important role to catch the attention.

Advertisement increases number of consumers in a short time of period.

In my opinion, advertising is not a complete waste of money and time because if you have released a commodity how will people come to know about your commodity if you are not advertising it? There are also many methods which are cost effective.

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.
