The Power of Advertising

     Advertisements, we see them everyday and everywhere. We even see them when we don't think were paying attention to them. They are powerful. By having a clever but possibly misleading advertisement people are still drawn to the product and buy them anyways. The thing with advertisements is that it can mean one thing to you but actually mean something else. And then there are advertisements that are just trying to advertise, trying to get the product out there so people know it's there. One thing I don't think people realize is how persuasive advertisements are and that you sometimes go out and look for something and you buy it and get home and it's something completely different than what it has appeared to be in the advertisement. There are many advertisements that have a lot of money poured into them to sell different products such as Victioria Secret always shows models in a new bra that they are trying to sell and get the word out there other corporations do this such as Levi jeans, mcdonalds ads always shows their newest sandwich, ipod always has an advertisement for their new ipod that comes out every few months, verizon with their new cell phones and more. Verizon is a huge one because a lot of people especially the younger crowd is always looking for the newest technology and next thing you know it's on their list for the next holiday. New shoes such as the newest Jordan shoe that comes out. And these days advertisers have become even smarter because majority of people spend their time on the internet so advertisements pop everywhere and even though pop ups can be blocked somehow somewhere advertisers get their point across. Advertising is powerful but I also am glad it was created because it wasn't for advertisements tthere are some things we would never know about.
