Whatever you guys put an money (to add) some related your add, or product add, etc. You finally going to meet huge profit on which you have been given in add.

I don't agree that Advertisement is a waste of resources. As to promote any product in the market it is very necessary to make people aware about it. Until and unless people do not know about the product/service it is a waste for a manufacturer to bring the product in the market. So from my point of view the best way to promote your product or service can be only done through advertisement.

If there are no advertisements huge number of people won't get to know about some companies One need to remember that Advertisements are not only new about some actor/actress (as someone said above) but also opportunities for jobless, creative minds etc.,

I do agree that advertisements is kind of wastage of resources. Though its essential for launch and success of any product, but the money spent on it is enormous and waste. Because these days, companies try to promote their products using celebs in ads. Not only that people are misguided and lured into using the products which their favorite stars or celebs use. Also there are certain ads which are not to seen by children. They tend to affect their tiny minds. Children are future pillars of a nation, and they are affected by violence in the media. Children, these days are obstinate and ask their parents to provide things what they see in ads. Advertisements must show the quality and originality of the products, should be done in a way that does not affect the social harmony and peace.

Advertising is communication process to reach the people of every locality and it is helpful for the company but the advertisement should not be done with the celebrity because the product price increase and effect the people of middle as well as lower classes. The common man advertise the product if the quality is good ultimately it demand increase.

Advertising always shows a positive result for a company/organization. It creates an awareness of the existence of the company/organization and consequently more and more people tries to join them which results in a better future of both!

What has been change at a particular period of time can be known only through advertisement. For example if any of the disease is being spread in particular locality will be known by the people only through advertisement. Ambhitabh Bacchan has make the aware about the importance about the polio for 0-3 years baby only through advertisement. So it is not a wastage of money.

Advertising is a back bone of launching any product in this generation but much more matters in which mode advertising is going with. Last not least want to add one more points that advertisement can't hide the quality, yes for a time being but not permanently so the product should always be of good quality.

Advertisement is not where the company should spend. Instead if the company spend in improving quality of products, then it doesn't require any advertisement.(for example, "Monaco" biscuits)

Hi friends, To reach the potential consumers, advertisement is very necessary Advertisement is only wastage when it is done in an excessive manner and the package becomes more important than the 'thing'. But this type of advertisement is only a show of foolishness on behalf of the company, because consumers could only be fooled only once. They will soon be getting to know the quality of product and the product may lose its market if known to be exaggerating.

Advertising for sure is the cream to the company if impleamented at right stage and time but now the question araises. Whats the right stage? this depends on how much the company is into the market atmosphere in regards of its awareness. Nobody cares for quality, quantity and price of the product if demands have exceeded the targets. Because the human psychology works supreme to logics of sales and trials. As needs wants and demands are neverending.

So main thing is that advertising alone won't help to sell products in large, Quality is also an important thing behind advertisement. Quality speaks about the product, where us advertising helps to speak about the Quality Product. I conclude that quality as well as advertising both are important to get success in the present Situation.

As every coin has two faces I too have two different views for the given topic with a strong conclusion. Yes ofcourse advertising is a waste of resources in case where the products are really dull and bad in that case if too much investment is done on the advertisement then obviously it would be a wastage of resources because public and ordinary people have sense they are not blind if the product would be good then they automatically advertise it among themselves. According to me, the money which has to be given to the advertisement should be expanded over the product to enrich its quality.

Hello everyone, According to me, advertisement is not necessary at all times. If a product is launched, but people are unaware about it, then the company must advertise it so that the people may come to know about the benefits of using the product. But once the product has gained a lot from the customers, it need not to be advertised as, if people really like the product, they will continue using it, else, they won't even if you continue advertising. If a product is extremely beneficial, people will automatically

advertise among themselves. Thus, publicity of a product will happen by its own.

Hi Friends, Advertisement genuinely help to bridging the gap between the end consumer and the company efforts. But it would go waste when company endorse with the celebrity, which has so far no use of that like Preity Zinta with Liril Soap in her pick period, Shahrukh Khan with Lux. In these cases, ultimately customer has to loose the pocket. Rather than this company should focus on PR or Viral Marketing Strategy or Brand Activation like Colgate Yearly Dental Check-up Camp, through which they will get genuine customer with pinch of loyalty. So according to me an advertisement is not wastage of resources if you done it in a proper manner.

I feel advertisements are one way of informing people about their product. This can be done through television, radio, newspaper, etc into which people regularly involved as they get time. Through advertisements companies introduce specialty about there product to public. This makes the way easy for public to purchase the product for which they were longing for, which makes customers as well as company happy.

Hai friends !. In my point of view advertisement a product is worthy for the customers. Customers may know the different products if the advertisement is good enough. It creates some knowledge of using the products by the customer. It attracts the customers to buy the products. Thus by advertising a product customer become more familiar with the product. It increases the business line.

But when the customers buy that product, they will come to know that the advertisement which was shown was bogus. Because the product fails to perform that function to that extent as shown in the advertisement.
