Nowadays, advertising has a huge power in marketing and I believe that goods are sold because of their presentation ways, not for real needs. People buy so many unnecessary items to keep up with trend.
To begin with, people should buy the things what they actually need. For example an jacket, if the jacket is old and consumed then it needed to be changed. They have to save money. People often buy things only because of the image of power, success and glamour associated with them. In other words, publicity is often for products and services that we do not really need.
Secondly, thesedays influencers are publishing unnatural products, giving positive feedbacks regarding that specific product. For instance, a botox, actors and actress are promoting blindly. They think it is a basic need for everyone. It is like a doing skin care. As a result, people see these type of promotions on instagram that make them feel like they really have to have it that product.
Finally, just mentioned earlier, individuals people are easily influenced by commercials that make them feel like they have to purchase that certain product. Whereas, the real needs, like people really needs that ones. To illusrate, a pair of shoes because their old ones are worn out.
To sum up, i strongly agree with the latter statement. According to me, people should save money for their future instead of wasting on these products. In contrast, there are some people, who are very convinced that particular product they need. In actual life it is not required. An example of Iphone, they do not really need it. However, when they see ads of new iphone, people become mad to buy it.
