Advertisements: My Opinion

          There are tons of different advertisements nowadays. Whether it's an advertisement about a great nursing program or about Coca-Cola, you can expect to find one anywhere. Advertisements of course, are meant to catch the consumer's eye to either purchase their products or invest in their programs, but some company's just take it a little too far. As if billboard ads aren't enough, company's have pushed the limit to placing ads on sides of buses, in classrooms, social networking sites, game applications on your smart phone, etc.

          I never paid too much attention to advertisements before, but once I did, they got to be very annoying. There are advertisements that aren't so beneficial for me, yet I must admit that it does catch my attention/eye when the ad is very colorful or has a catchy phrase. Some of the advertisements that do appeal to me most of the time are the company's products that I've already consumed products from before or products that I've thought about trying/purchasing. There are also some commercial ads that I find really funny and those appeal to me as well. For example, I like iPhone commercial ads, Coca-Cola, Jack-in-the-Box, Olive Garden, Foot Locker, T-Mobile, Bounty, Tide, Movie Previews and many more. Like I said, most of these are advertisements for products I've used or am using now.

          I admit, I get distracted very easily so honestly anything can grab my attention. It's not always a good thing though because I don't like wasting my time on something that I'm not interested in. I am usually

interested in anything that is well known like Nike shoes or a well-known restaurant, which means that I probably won't be interested in any new product. Even if it does catch my attention for a second, I try not to take interest in it. I'm not sure if reviews on a product is a form of advertisement, but I definitely check reviews before I try something new.           
          Some advertisements are beneficial and some aren't, some are very creative and eye-catching and some are just plain boring. Although I don't prefer annoying or pointless advertisements, it is the company's way of getting their products out to the consumers.
