Advertising is simply informing people and consumers about a certain product. Buyers will eventually buy something that they know exists based on what they saw on newspapers, television or on billboards. With the use of advertising, there is a creation of an ideal image of gorgeous woman and handsome men that shows the factors of successful person that leads to an unconscious way of telling that if they don't become like them they would not be good looking or pretty.
“It is time to buy what makes you look good, and soon you will look like one of your favorite star celebrities.”
Today's era is a world of advertisement, the loudest you are in the media industry the most noticeable you will. There are all kinds of ads, but in general, all of them aim to make your buying choices based on emotional response. Talking about the repetition of different advertisements, it makes it easy for viewers to accept them as the truth, even when they "know" the messages are false; and because it works, companies behind the ads are willing to pay for the repetition of their ads. Another is the use of experts, it is difficult for the viewers to disagree because they don;t have the knowledge and information available to those experts. People assumed that if these people are doing such work then it must be valid information.
These are just a few of the ways in which advertising influence our decisions and perception. We should have an awareness of ourselves that gives us the satisfaction of knowing that we're making our own decisions.
