The Confusion Behind Computer Advertisements Advertising is the key ingredient to a companys success, so its pretty common for a company to go to extreme levels to sell their products. There are six basic consumer behavior decisions when it comes to creating a desire for a brand name or product.1. Problem Recognition The consumer decides that he or she necessitys something.2.

In realty, human beings are resourceful enough to find what they need without ads (Kaufman, 2004). However, ads do as much damage as it does good. Pushing more than and more ads down consumers throat is not going to necessarily make them postul ate to buy that product Internet pop-up ads are a prime example. The abundance of ads is not the only problem. Many ads can be misleading in what they are really trying to sell you dingle is a good example of misleading ads. Travis a dell computer customer writes in an Internet complaint, we legitimate a dimension 8200 series but we were late in receiving the camera kit. When we did receive the camera kit it wasnt the right one for that computer, but Dell still wouldnt take it back because it was already past the 30-day warranty (Travis of Kalispell, MT, 2004). Best Buy is also guilty of using misleading advertisement, which leads to even more serious accusations. Katherine of Hartsdale (2004), NY writes, for Christmas my mom bought me a Playstation 2 and several games. One of the games wouldnt work so I tried taking it back to Best Buy.
