Writing exercise

The fact that advertisement of commodities has been continuously playing an indispensable role in the market of modern world. Those advertisements aim to raise the buying desire of consumers, thus stimulating the demand and boosting up the business. Consequently, it seems quiet common that the large selling quantities of certain good are more likely to set a base on the influence of their advertisements rather than the real needs of the society in which they are sold.
What I’d like to point out first is those massive “festive” which refers to the particular date when an e-commerce, such as Taobao, Tianmao launches a sales promotion, usually on a relatively large discount. As we all know, there are “Double 11”, “618” , ”Black Friday” and days like these. It’s reported that the sales on days like “Double 11 always set a new record. However, after being received for a few days. numerous products ordered on these days eventually proved to be useless, at least not being able to cater to the desire of the person who buy it at the moment, which is regarded as a waste. These goods are sold not that they are in demand but that they are remarkably advertised.
Alternatively, are high sales of popular merchandise sure to depend on the power of advertising but not needs? The answer is definitely not. Though abnormal phenomenon that the needs are not a decisive element in purchasing truly exist, rational consumers still make up a large proportion of the population. They are less prone to the effect of sales promotion and have their own judgement by comparing diverse commodities from different stores. Most importantly, they are the people who really know about their needs instead of following the trend.
To sum up, it can be easily drawn the conclusion that the power of advertising contribute a lot to the high sales of popular consumer goods, but the real needs of the society are still the main reason why a majority of people buy them.
