Advertising

Businesses need to advertise. If they do not advertise no one will even learn of the existence (существование) of their products (товары). In part, advertising is aimed at conveying information to potential customers and clients, but it is also used to persuade the public to buy the product or service. This is the area in which advertising is often criticized. Advertisements are sometimes misleading. Although it is illegal for advertisers to make untrue statements about their goods, services or prices, they still make their wares seem unduly (незаконно) attractive. They create a demand which would not otherwise exist.

It is easy to say, «I'm not influenced by the adverts!». Everyone is influenced to a certain extent.

Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. An alternative to advertising would be (было бы) to lower prices when sales fall. This will suit the consumer but introduce many problems for the producer.

Some people say that advertising actually enriches our lives.

American retailers (розничный торговец) have targeted (отнести/выделить) children as a new consumer group spending annually (ежегодно) about $82 billion. These statistics have encouraged companies to give products new life by marketing them to kid audience. Some advertising companies even hired child psychologists to understand their market better. Nowadays marketing for children is thriving.
