In this modern world, advertising might be considered as an utterly effective way in boosting the turnover of every enterprise. Nevertheless, other people suppose that it is irrational to take notice of advertising due to its lack of particularity. While I fully endorse that advertising plays an essential role in contributing to a thriving economy, some types of advertisement can irritate people at times.

For one thing, advertising will definitely do wonders when a company wishes to push up the revenue. As advertisements come in all shapes and sizes in both online and offline platforms that make more people know about a product. Subsequently, they may bit by bit get into purchasing that item. For instance, a person who does not have any intention to buy anything may change his mind to suddenly order an item after watching an appealing advertisement on the Facebook watch section. There are numerous brands which provide well-qualified products but still have not been accessible to many consumers. Therefore, their business needs to involve more advertising activities. Furthermore, if the producers and marketers can take advantage of new trends in the world to produce creative advertisements, the results will beyond dispute be amazing.

On the other hand, people sometimes distaste advertisement because of its monotonous appearance. It is shown on almost every website and app, which leads to the dissatisfaction of people who just want to skip it in no time. Advertisements can be misleading as well. When people want to opt for a product, they may easily get lost since there are so many brands selling similar products. And the producers always exaggerate the benefits of their products to grab people's attention. However, after purchasing that item, people may feel regret because its function is not as stunning as it is in the advertisement.

In conclusion, although some people may think that advertising activities are useless, it is truly beneficial to society that we should not dismiss all as irrelevant. However, consumers should consider carefully before making any decision of buying things.
