When it comes to advertising, what we see tends to always be different than reality in most cases. Most of these advertisers in the name of trying to market their products they add things that might not be present in reality. For example a battery company might market their products that it would last for days but in reality it might last for just 24 hours.

That's the gimmicks that are employed by markerters to lure people to buy their products. That's why we should be careful with the gimmicks and avoid using our hard earned money to buy thrash

Agree, I am a victim of this. I purchased a solar lamp online and offline and the ad said that the items will last for 3 to 4 years, but they never last to 4 months. It was a very frustrating experience.

I always know this that is why I take all these ads they churn out with them saying half truth. You need to know that they are just trying to sell their market

In all things it is always good to only work with the reality. you don't need to always expect because things can change and might not work the way you wanted

What we expect might not turn right, in fact, many became victims of a wrong expectation the reality is far behind expectation. It's good not to expect but check what is expected first before finalising the buying thing.

It is not good to expect for when you expect high and failed you will fall high. It is good to expect if your work is perfect and in business, it is good to expect of a high profit if always see customers coming and buying.

That's so true! Advertisers often exaggerate to make their products seem more appealing. It’s all about grabbing attention, but the reality can sometimes be disappointing. Like you said, a battery might claim to last for days, but in practice, it barely makes it through a day. It's always good to take ads with a grain of salt and look at reviews before making a decision.

Some business owners may resort to dishonesty for their own advantage. They deceive people to make money, but they fail to realize that their profits may only be short-term. Customers who have been deceived are unlikely to return, and they may even leave negative feedback that could ruin your reputation.

It is not a good thing. Once their customers know the real truth, they will be gone too soon and not to continue being loyal to them.

A company cannot make fake claims to market products.If it does it can be penalized by the government. But sadly, exaggeration is a common marketing tactics.
