Being aware of advertising is essential in the battle against debt. We live in a
world were commercialism reigns. “Look at how beautiful you will be in this” and
“You will not be happy unless you have that”. It is really a poison that many
people fall sick to. (It being a poison if you truly can’t afford it) It is funny
how so many people don’t like being told what to do, teenagers especially,
yet in reality its what advertising really does and all fall victim to it to some
degree. To be a good advertiser, you have to make people think they need something
but not that your telling them they need it. However the point of this article
is not on how to become a good advertiser but rather to be aware of what
advertising’s affect on your wallet. I find the people who find themselves in a debt trap have often gotten themselves into it by obviously spending more than they can afford. But why would someone cognitively go and do this? True could be it was a careless misunderstanding of what your bank account was looking like, or that you forgot there were other payments out there for the month. But for many, it was that they figured they could not live without a product or that it just tempted them to such a degree that they just “Needed to have it” or they “Owed themselves it” Yet what tempted them in the first place, advertising perhaps? Good advertising has a multiple effect, let me explain. If a company makes a product and it sells well from their initial advertising campaign, well suddenly everyone who has that product now is indirectly advertising for that product. A company loves this because their ROI (Return on Investment) just increased without further help on their part. So if your neighbors have the fancy new garden accessory, or newly finished driveway, tile roof and you like it, then your neighbors are indirectly advertising the product to you. So it is just good to be aware of the messages that the world can through at you. It is important to interpret each financial pull and put them in order of importance in your head. Sometimes just understanding why you might be desiring something can help you see it in a different light. Debt Settlement |
