So I’m really hard to convince into buy something through an advertisement and it’s very rare that I buy something thanks to an advertisement. But for the cover of my iPhone I saw an ad on TikTok that was showing perfectly how the cover made the phone look more squared, more beautiful, more clean and for that reason I decided to purchase it even though the cost was not too high and it was fair. But yeah I think that is the only time that an advertisement truly persuaded me into buy something. I have to admit that many times I am tempted by advertisements into buy things but I’m a very rational guy, I reflect a lot before buying anything especially because since I’m a university student I don’t have my salary, I tend to conserve my money very much because I don’t have many and I use them wisely and it’s very rare that I buy stupid things thanks to advertisements. Most of the time I buy few things that truly are useful for me and the cover it wasn’t that useful like you’re not it’s not mandatory to have a cover for your phone but it’s helpful and I needed a new one so that advertisement really caught my attention and made me buy the phone cover but as I said before it’s really hard to convince me.

So I'm really hard to convince to buy something through an advertisement, and it's very rare that I buy something thanks to an advertisement. But for the cover of my iPhone, I saw an ad on TikTok that was showing perfectly how the cover made the phone look more squared, more beautiful, and more clean. For that reason, I decided to purchase it, even though the cost was not too high and it was fair. I think that is the only time an advertisement truly persuaded me to buy something. I have to admit that many times I am tempted by advertisements to buy things, but I'm a very rational guy. I reflect a lot before buying anything, especially because, as a university student, I don't have a salary. I tend to conserve my money very much because I don't have much, and I use it wisely. It's very rare that I buy unnecessary things thanks to advertisements. Most of the time, I buy a few things that truly are useful for me, and the cover wasn't that useful; it's not mandatory to have a cover for your phone, but it's helpful, and I needed a new one. So that advertisement really caught my attention and made me buy the phone cover, but as I said before, it's really hard to convince me.
