Anything has advantages and disadvantages, just like every coin has two sides.
Advertising is no exception.
On the one hand, advertising is generally delicately designed, visually and
acoustically enjoyable. It promotes new products and new concepts, provides people
with wider choices and enriches people's material life. It gives more exposure to the
products and gets more people acquainted with the products. It betters the connection
between the manufacturers and the customers and encourages enterprises' competition
to improve their products. For a long known brand, advertising strengthens customers'
impression and consolidates its value in customers' mind.
On the other hand, advertising usually paints the devil blacker than he is. In such
cases, customers are apt to get cheated. Advertising costs a lot and virtually it is
customers who pay for it. Some celebrities are paid high to speak for a product and
the extra cost is transferred to customers. Things will worsen when the celebrities e
advocate what is unworthy of the name. For those who don't want it, advertising is a
waste of time and even a nuisance. Due to advertising, many people buy what they
don't need and it's a waste of money. Socially speaking,it's a waste of resources.
