Advertising is all glitter and little truth.

Favor Stars are promoting products which most of the time they dont use, so its just like cheating with viewers. Advertisers have to depict what customers like, enjoy keeping in mind clients requirements. As products increase and so the ads, glitter is a way to ensure brand recall, a very important factor for the advertising firms. Most of the time companies over showcase their product qualities which is not fair. There are lots of examples like a person eating a chew gum and becomes so cool that girls start following him or take example of a famous perfume, if guys use that perfume girls will start running behind them. All these ads are total fake. Advertising is a business and not charity. Companies hire advertisers for promoting their products and it is not vice versa.

In order to have a healthy bottom line the ad firms cannot shun their responsibility towards the society. Ad firms have to develop ethical content to ensure fair deals. There are advertisements available which show the notice that it is medically proven or they are having proof. Conclusion Advertisements are somewhat made to attract the customers and some time they might only glitter but sometimes they are true also

GD Topic : Advertising is all glitter and little truth.

Point: advertisers go to any height to prove that their product is the best in the category and the cost of advertizing have to borne by none other than customers.The more the glitter, the more the price would be and sometimes advertizing constitutes more than 30% of the MRP. The costumers must not be fooled by these fake claims. If the product is so good then let the customers decide and they will be certainly appreciated by them.

Date: 2011-01-10 02:00:01 Added by: Asmita Mulik

Point: Advertisement is a way to promote the products to customers.If we want to attract our customers to our products in this competitive world then thier should require little bit glitter. We can not blame all the ads in this way because their are some ads which are really true & that only do the work to keep the real qualities in front of customer. Also their are some advertisement that make awareness in public such as Polio ,Jago grahak Jago,Farmer helplines. Lastly it depends on the customer which product to choose because now a days customer is also enough intelligent to make difference from real truth & glitter.

Point: advertisements in today's over competitive and marketing world is a necessity but it is a tool which we customers can use to our advantage,it tells us about the choices available to us,ensures that we clinch the best deal....so in my opinion i feel we should extract the truth from the glittery ads and help ourselves

Date: 2010-04-22 09:42:02 Added by: nimisha mahajan

Point: "All that glitters is not gold" but then it could be diamonds or easily affordable American diamonds. The choice lies in the hands of the chooser. Advertisements are making people aware of the myriad of choices available to them and sometimes also about the things which could be a necessity. Due to fierce competitions, obviously they sometimes tend to deceive people by adding little flawed details. But then consumer is also becoming more aware and has ability to choose cautiously.
