[TOZZIBLINKZ]

An advertisement is considered to be a mechanism or a strategy in which a businesses uses to reveal its products, goods, and services to members of the public in order to earn patronage from the public and in turn make expected business profit and income . Modernization and technology has totally taking business advertisement activities to a more better and conducive level in the sense that businesses can make sufficient advertisement of your products and services with the use of the internet ads, social media platforms, or through their own personally created website or platform . Whatever strategy use for advertisement, the key objective and goal of business advertisement is literally and obviously to win the trust and loyalty of customers and clients viewing them .

Nowadays advertisements shown via the internet, social medias platforms, marketing websites, or even through the radio device and television sets are literally not what we seems they are . There are so many misleading adverts that tells lie about the true reality of a particular product, and their sole aim and objective is just to make the viewers of this adverts to feel enticed and drawn to the patronage of this products or services being advertised. And possibly after a purchase of this products of services have been made by an individual he or she is left with disappointment towards the products or services being bought . It is indeed interesting when business advertise the true reality of what their business products and services thereby accurately and correctly revealing what it is meant for and not meant for .

It is very true that advertisement is one way in which you can give accurate knowledge to the consumer towards your goods and services. It is one factor that can develop and grow your business to a much greater scale. But sadly those who engage in this kind of Factor do use it to mislead the consumers give you wrong ideas and fact what a particular goods. The make the goods appeared to good so that the consumers can get attracted. But this can lead to the mistress of a consumer toward a particular organization because when the consumer expectation on the advertisement is not what is being expected in reality these will make the consumer to get disappointed and does the trust the consumer has towards a particular organisation or firm and company would be discouraged. And so it is important for companies or firm or even business owners to advertise exactly what they produce give right information on the products not sugar coating the product so that it would appear more good than what it is in real life.

That's the problem with advertisment these days, they are never honest. All in the quest of getting more customers, they tend to tell lies or in most cases, add extra or as some would call it sugar quote it. This is also the same reason why most people fail when they go into a new online business. They make everything look so simple and easy like you would start making money instantly, only to join and discover it's totally difficult.

Day after day we are always bombarded with a whole lot of advertisement from the internet and even via the radio device or even television sets and most of these advertisements are created by consumer goods producing companies and industries and nowadays the use of advertisements is no longer used for what it is actually meant for but rather it is used as a dubious means or at as technical or tactical mechanism to falsely get the attention of a particular group of people towards the patronage of a particular business product that is possibly released .

Not too long ago a friend of mine started developing a particular test and preference towards a product in which he or she Saw that was advertised online, the product in particular was made by a cream company and the product itself is a cream . The product was advertised as a skin corrector lotion that clears black spots and other skin irritations from the user, and to my friend after using this product it turns out that the product is all fake but instead of curing skin irritations as it specified it even reactivate them .

You are very right. Advertisement these days are misleading, they give false information about a product. There are only few advertisement these days that give the right information about a product. Most times, people are paid to give good reviews about a product especially on social media whereas the product is wack. This is often common among companies that deals with skincare and cosmetics.
