Hello friends..... what do you think about advertisement is it necessary for the success of the business or a waste of resources?
As per my views advertisement is quite necessary for promoting the business or product. It helps in gaining more and more customer and it is the best way of attracting the more customers towards the products that a businessman is going to introduces in the market.

Yes, running an Ad campaign surely helps in branding your product.The Ad exposed to the targeted customers can help to gain genuine visitors and hence could be converted.

I think if your product is good enough then you don't need any advertisement for the promotion your business.

I am amazed at how often I hear economic development professionals claim that advertising simply doesn’t work. When I ask them what measure they are using to determine failure, the typical response is that nobody ever picked their location based on an advertisement. They love to say “Ed, it’s not like selling soap”. The last comment is a reference to my Procter & Gamble experience where I actually worked on prescription pharmaceutical brands and never really sold soap.
But, in my opinion the capital investment decision made by CEOs is actually a lot like the prescription pharmaceutical decision made by doctors. The risk for both is high if you make the wrong choice, and the evaluation process is complicated
