The Power of Marketing


Before I started taking any Marketing classes, I used to think that ads don't affect me in any way...I thought any types of marketing only influenced people who were weak-minded. Now, after learning a few things for class, and also from the Marketing 424 class that I'm taking, I've realized that I fall into that "weak-minded" stereo-type that I had created.

Now, I realized that marketing is apart of the society that we live in. And without it, we wouldn't know about the various products that are available to us...not just to consume for our satisfaction, but also for products that we need for everyday life such as food, jobs, or even clothing. Without marketing, we wouldn't know what's going on in the world of consumer buying.
