Hello Namrata, It depends on the product, the Celebrities promoting the brand. For your reference, the celebrities are not selling the product directely. They have been used for promoting and establishing the brand. some may use some may not...
Rohen Raveshia  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
no celebrities do not really believe in the values of the brand..... i have certain evidences to support my point firstly a leading television actress was asked if she would allow her children to consume soft drinks everyday her answer was of...
Namrata Pathak  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
I don't agree at all. It is not necessary to use celebrities for your ads. Companies are trying to sell products that are dangerous to the society by using the faces of the celebrities.... I'm against it..

Ayan Biswas  |  Argues in support of  "yes"  |  1 year ago
Agree that there are ads which make absolutely no sense however most of the ads created these days are very specific and are very focussed in communicating with the target segment. For e.g. if you see the Tata Ace ad..will definately not appeal...

I hope ASCI becomes more strict before releasing the ads... close to 70% of our population is rural that is often mislead by such TALL claims
Amritash Agrawalla  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  1 year ago
Advertising in a whole needs a serious looka t.The claims made by washng powders has already been highlighted BUT ONLY WHEN THEY LAMBASTED ANOTHER BRAND!! How come lemon uice is made form concentrate but washing up liquid and soap from REAL LEMONS!!
Disha Roy  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  1 year ago
I don' think it is the right way to market a product by claiming like grow 2 inches more than others, and become fairer than others in just 2 weeks, I mean I don't think that it is scientifically possible where they are claiming that one will...

So many people all around the world have great ideas, products and services. And yet some businesses do well, and some fail. What separates the businesses that starve from the businesses who feast? For the answer, we turn to another way people have been setting their feast table for hundreds of years: fishing Landing a fish, just like landing a customer, requires strategy and know-how if you’re going to come home successful. Here are some ways to land the catch of the day.   1. Know what you’re after In fishing, you always use the best bait possible for the particular type of fish you’re after. So many times clients come to me and say, “I don’t have a target market”. They’re always wrong. A...

Good One Namrata . Also the marketer has to keep in mind that every day is not Diwali & hence & many a times weather turns unfavourable for fishing . Its advisable to turn to different fishing ground or come another day with more resolve.
Arindom Borah  |  Commented  |  1 year ago
Hi Namrata, Sorry for the belated appreciation-that was a fantastic post, Here are a couple of other points, written in the same manner 11. Try to get exclusive fishing rights in that area. When you win over a new customer, you hold an advantage...
Rathin Deb  |  Commented  |  1 year ago
Excellent Namrata I think by this way others will close down since all the customer will visit you only. A very good write up. Thanks.

I believe that a habit is inculcated only by one's perception and the will to undertake the same depends on the individual. Of course influence plays a prime factor, however, the individual and of course the environment and all the other factors...

These days as I switch on the tv or radio or look at a hoarding I do feel that power of ads I see. There are few innovative ads but rest all are stale. I do not understand many of these ads, their purpose looks so unclear that I feel that......

Many advertisements come and go.. Few make an impression on our mind.. Impression might be good , bad and at times ugly!!! The government has cracked down on "obscene" deodorant advertisements directing advertisers to modify them or take them off air. The I B ministry has asked the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) to take action and submit a report within five days. On one side are the good ads like one of our Toostep user posted "wRite to change" ( Hath Uthao ) and on other hand are these ads.. It becomes more important because even the kids watch tv and ads will be viewed by all.. Many parents have hard time explaining to their kids that what it actually is and why should they change the channel. While the other group of people says why is this county with world's second largest population offended by sexuality? What is your point of view here?

I reckon the lines said by a sensible person in the past that a person cannot be deceived unless the he himself consents to be decieved. To be a bit more clearer, I quote the mordant tongue of my dear friend Chuck Doherty, “If a man is ready to blow, an aspirant will come even from the banks of Lake Titicaca hiring a cab, to make him blow.” “This country is full of people who are dangerously disciplined”, Doherty once lamented and it was about the people of India. He had always maintained that majority of the people of this country were poor sceptics and if there was a minority who looked like that, they were simply cynics. Although, I never understood initially what he meant, today I see something identical to Doherty's theory. This is all about a part of the media of Tamil Nadu revealing video clippings of alleged sexual escapades of a Godman in company of a second string South Indian female film artist. More interesting than the news itself has been the response put forth by the...
