III Read and choose the best answer:
Nowadays many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and
price If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we may not like to adm it it, commercials on television and advertisements in newspapers and manaziges probably influence
us much more than we think they do
Advertising informs consumers about new products availalble on the market
It gives us information about everything However; there is one problem with this The "information" is actually very often misinformation It tells us the products benefits but hide their disadvantages Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we do not need or cannot afford butalso confuses our sense of
reality
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy theirproducts One of their
most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and
our imperfect lives They get psychologists to study the way consumers think
and their reasons for choosing one brand instead ofanother Psychologists
have found that certain colors on the package of anattractive product will
cause people to reach out and take that package instead of buying an identical
product with different colors Also, certain words attract our attention For
example, the words "new", "improved", "natural", and "giant size" are very
popular and seem to draw our eyes and hands toward the package
Many consumers believe that advertising does not affect them They feel that
they have freedom of choice, and they like to thinkthey make wise choices
Unfortunately, they probably do not realize the powerful effect of
advertising Every year, advertisers spend billionsof dollars inaggressive
competition for consumers money and they are very successful
