Advertising plays a pivotal role in attracting consumers and making a strong base for any product.
Advertisements help in reaching out to prospective customers and making them aware of the usage and availability of the product.
However, a major drawback of this industry is that TV commercials sometimes become a little ignorant about the harmful effects of the products, they promote.
One such ad is 'Pan Masalas'. I was watching television with my family and having dinner and we came across the Pan Masala ad.
The ad was performed by a famous movie star Ajay Devgan and it was displaying that the actor himself was consuming the product.
As we all know Pan Masala has harmful effects on human health.
These Pan Masalas lead to mouth cancers and stomach ulcers but still, these advertising companies are demonstrating this kind of advertisements on commercial TV.
Tv is being watched by people of all ages and even kids and they get to know about the product.
Even more, as the ad was shown by famous stars and people follow the habits of those movie stars and it creates a bad impact on the younger generation who imitates their favorite movie stars.
So this is the advertisement which I don't like.
second sample--
I've seen a lot of advertisements over the years, some of which have been great and some of which have been terrible. Today, I'd like to describe an advertisement that I don't like, and explain why I find it distasteful.
The advertisement I have in mind is for a certain brand of fast food. In this ad, a group of young, attractive people are shown hanging out and having fun, all while happily eating the fast food in question. The message is clear: eating this food is cool and trendy, and if you're not doing it, you're missing out.
The first thing that bothers me about this ad is the message it sends about health. Fast food is notoriously unhealthy, and promoting it as a desirable lifestyle choice is not only irresponsible, but downright dangerous. We all know the risks associated with eating too much fast food, from obesity to heart disease, and yet this ad seems to suggest that those risks are worth taking in order to be part of the "cool" crowd
Another issue I have with this ad is the way it portrays young people. By showing only young, attractive people in the ad, the brand is essentially saying that only a certain type of person is worthy of their product. This is not only exclusionary, but it reinforces harmful stereotypes about who is "cool" or "desirable". It also ignores the fact that people of all ages and backgrounds enjoy fast food, and that marketing it solely to young people is both short-sighted and cynical.
Overall, I find this advertisement distasteful and offensive. It promotes an unhealthy lifestyle and reinforces harmful stereotypes about who is worthy of their product. I believe that advertisements have a responsibility to be honest, ethical, and inclusive, and this ad falls short on all counts.
1. Why do some people hate advertisements?
People do not like advertisements while they are watching a program because ads break the
continuity. Another annoying factor is that most of the ads are very repetitive and there is nothing
new. But the fact remains that if there are no advertising agencies to sponsor the programs we will
not be able to watch good programs .
2. Do people usually buy stuff after watching advertisements?
Yes definitely many people buy the products after they watch an ad. Many of the advertisements
are very innovative as well as informative these these days. An advert can lure a wide range of
people, from small children to the senior citizens.
3. Is music useful in advertising?
Yes, music adds life to the ad. Music can add meaning to anything and so music is useful in ads. For
example, some jingles keep ringing in your ears even after the ad is over. So, the purpose of ad is
fulfilled.
4. What are advantages of TV advertisements? How about internet advertisements?
TV ads have both audio and video component. So these give visual reminders of the products and
that is what sells the products.Internet adds can be skipped and it is optional and upto the user
whether to view them or not.
5. Where usually do we see adverts?
We see ads all around us – on TV, on radio, on roadsides, in newspapers, in magazines, on the
internet, on phones and as flyers.
6. Are there any advertisements at school?
Sometimes, supermarkets and fast food outlets give money to schools and open their outlets in
schools. This is a way of advertising their products.
7. Are there some inappropriate adverts, like that of a condom?
There are some inappropriate ads, like the ad of some perfumes, which imply that if a boy wears
that perfume, girls will flock around him, and the ads of some drinks like coke and pepsi. The ad of
condoms is not inappropriate in my opinion. It is an important step in sex education.
