Publicity - A big influence on our consumer life.


Advertising has a big influence upon consumers, because the majority of those people pay atenttion to what comes up on TV or in printed ads.
Ads make people wish to possess a certain product or look which makes the investment of brands on advertisement pay of.
Soo, we may conclude that in most cases TV ads or printed ads are a good way to make people desire some stuff just to became as good looking as the models who do the ads.
But to overcome that look is required some harder work than just spending money on the product that the comercial sells.

Reflection on ads (in general)

Generally speaking, the controversy in publicity insists on sexual content or on really sensitive problems (like AIDS...).
Publicity has to be appealing to people, specially because it has to convince the consumers to consume.
Printed ads, or commercials have the function to make people desire what they are trying to sell, but in some cases that need of convincing the public leads to an outrageous abuse of seduction.
This excessive use leads to the banishment of many ads, what can create controversy among consumers and companies who make the ads.
