Today, i'm going to expose the plot behind advertisements. Ever read an ad, then thought : Wow! Sounds great...! ... So... what the hell does this funny looking thing does? The idea behind advertisements, is to attract people so they view it... Whether they actually use the product is another matter.
Look at the online ads for ebony. If your a pervert you probably clicked the ad already and signed up, just to disappoint yourself. ''Shit. Fake advertising.'' That isn't me, though. I find those a nuisance.
The problem:
Advertising is supposed to inform people of the product. It attracts people? Good. It says nothing? Bad. When i was searching ebay for a used ps2 the last time, i realised that the most important factor is missing in a lot of stuff that people sell.
Take a look at this sentence. '' Beautiful ps2 for sell. Modded can play many games.''
Dood. Anybody with a bird-brain and know what a ps2 is can tell you that it can play many games. The description fails to say what kind of games can be played, and what kind of package is included, whether the stuff are still functional, how to deal, and does not even leave any contacts. And actually, who cares whether your ps2 looks beautiful to you or not? Show a picture!
My advise :
Consumers - Ignore any advertisements that looks damn amazing, but really says nothing. Don't even buy the product. Their not telling you something for a reason. -> Scam.
Marketing agencies - The new age for advertisement is to critisize their own product. The new age is reverse psychology. People will think '' if its so bad why do people advertise it?'' and buy it. If you ever decide to use the conventional way of saying '' This is amazing! buy it!'' style, then include all and every single details that does not = your opinion. Even including the condition of every screw in the ps2 helps.
