What is the fun to show off the image of a woman on the cover of a product/commodity?

You have stated the point nicely but the thing is that such things work and so they are using it more and more.

Media, media and media is playing havoc with our daily life. Do not watch the "IDIOT BOX" or any newspaper for example Times of India. I will tell you why, ' TOI Bangalore Edition, eight people were killed by suspected National Democratic Front of Bodoland in Assam but, the headline is Chiranjeevi's daughter was harassed by her in laws for dowry. this is a newspaper we read and absorb it in our everyday life...:D yellow journalism...to be precise....

I dont know why us the viewers promote this kind of publicity.Once i have seen a cement advertisement having a lady on beach in bikini!!!What a pity that a brand need a lady rather than product..

It is not about the degrading the status of woman...but it is how the Markting is done....The woman are only capable of attracting the viewers...Man 2 Man or woman 2 woman is not seen here...yes jealousy plays a vital role......But yes some times there is no need of woman in advertisements but thinking of marketing people is quite different and they will involve woman in that and little of bit expression makes that advertisement to be glitter...and the purpose is solved...As Mr. sudershan said the woman in the advertising is also liking that...and some body say for money they are forced to do it no...then what about heroins ....

i think its starts from getting away from certain things or stake to loose all eforts

whats wrong in a women, child or kid modelling for a product. It is only to attract the attention of the consumer. For a moment forget your gender and look at the other side wherein, "would you buy a product which is just plainly designed with colours and without images" ? No ! As long as the woman or any other person is not depicted in a wrong or immoral way, there is nothing wrong in doing the same.

To increase their demand to get that product whether really useful to lifestyle.

You are targeting a particular audience or a class of audiences. So the major attraction of the "image" on the product is for the targetees to identify themselves with the "image"

simple... beauty attracts always...

Well idea behind showing women on front page depends upon few things first of all the nature of product and for whom (men or women) it is, theme of advertisement, and finally if product can be used by both men and women. Then women will attract the women consumer group as well as it will also make product look glamourus to male user group. Ex- bike advertisement, wheel advertisement( male- salman khan) male deodrants, etc all have girls so it is clear that opposite gender attract consumers

@ K.S- Do you mean women are themselves responsible for their fate or they dehumanization. Are they selling their modesty in the hands of a company for their livelihood. I do not want to argue but discuss and come some fruitful conclusion. Even I do not want to hurt anybody.

Those communication methods are just to exploit the sexuality without any relevance. For example selling a mobile handset with a sexy women image what's the necessity. Do we use handsets to enhance our sexual association?

I am sorry but the situation is very worse and it is time to say no to Nuclear and we should join hands for Nuclear disarmament.We have other source of renewable energy totally available for the whole world.

Just supplying what market demands.
