The spread of information through advertisement is widely used nowadays. Without emphasizing on the effect, actually consumers are largely influences and attracted to interesting advertisements. However, advertisements can lead both to good and bad. Many gigantic company such as Petronas willing to pay a lot of money just to get only the exclusive and meaningful advertisement. To what extent the advertisement is, it is deniable that advertisements bring a lot of help but at the same time, can give badness. Many news provide evidences that advertisement lead to bad effect. So, it is solemnly disagreed that advertisements are a good guide for consumers in the aspects of economy, raising awareness and spreading information.

Advertisements are use by the advertisers to promote their products easily to the people but there are many cases where people were disappointed after they found out that the products they get were not exactly as good as it shows in the advertisements. This proves that advertisements are not a good guide for consumers because it influences the consumers to buy unnecessary things, manipulates people's minds and it does not ensure the physical state of the product.

Advertisements are a good guide for consumers. Do you agree?

There are many advertisements, particularly in magazines and newspapers, which are designed to persuade people to invest in buying products. It is said that advertisements can tend to influence badness in some circumstances. But logically, advertisement can be a really good medium as guidance for consumers. Advertising is a marketing tool and may be used in combination with other marketing tools, such as sales promotions, personal selling tactics, or publicity. Therefore, advertisement is a good guide for consumers in aspects of budget, awareness and guidelines.

Unknown said...

Yes... Good that you did not wait till the last minutes to submit your introduction. If you have submitted your introduction, you are also required to leave comments on your friends' submission. An example would be;
Amina, I think your thesis statement is parallel and I cannot wait what your supporting ideas will be for awareness and guidelines. I can guess that you will be talking how consumers can save money when they use the advertisements as guidelines before going out to buy things that they want. However, I do not see how guidelines can be different from budget.

Another way of learning is by accepting others' opinions and ideas. For example, Arsalnaa, the thesis statement can be improved as you have to make it parallel. What do the others think?

The advertisement are good guide for consumer in spreading information, spending money and raising awareness.

Thank you madam for commenting my 'Intoduction'. I was thinking to eloborate on guidelines as how to buy the products and where to get it, also whom they can refer about the products. As for budget, the consumers can determine on how much they must provide money to get the products and able to know if they are affordable or not before making any decision. This are my immediate ideas as for now, and I will think of better ideas later on.

Advertisements are everywhere in our daily life. They are defined as public notice offering goods or services, and they can be in a form of tv advert or a job ad in local newspapers. However, eventhough they are said to be a good guide for consumers nowadays, they still have their disadvantages, such as manipulating people's mind, wasting their money and also, cheating the consumers.
