My take would be yes it does influence to some extent.
Advertisements has both pros and cons but i think it has more benefits.
Benefits
1) Specially now a days they are showing educational ads like save girl child, polio dose on time, heart patients preventive measure on private channels which were previously shown only on DD and most of customers are now more inclined towards private channels.
2) Ads like insurance, raise in interest rates help customer to know what new is happening
3) There is great amount of revenue collection in the ads which if used properly can be a great benefit
4) Plus right now ads are so much in demand it increase the employment both on screen and behind screen.
Disadvantage
I can see one disadvantage right now is there can be unnecessary wastage of money in buying things which we already have or which we do not need that too just for the temptation of buying something new in the market.

I too agree with my friend..yes advetisement influence people,sometimes in a god way,and it influence the other way too.
Mainly company advertise to apprise the public of thier products,what company actualy do is,they show their products in a boasting manner,which may influence people.Now the question is, dohe product advertised by the company hold truth? and if yes than to what extent??
We as a consumer want to buy a product which meets our requirements and too in our budget.So i will say that the companies show the factual side of the products but not completely trythfull,and it also depends on the consumer to get influenced.

Thanks

" Do Advertisements influence???"

Nice one...
continuing the discussion.
Let's first have a look on what Chuck Blore said about the concept of advertising. According to him - it is the art of arresting the human intelligence just long enough to get money from it.
From word of mouth advertising to internet advertising, advertisements have came a long way. True as many of us rightly pointed out, it's the only medium to keep the consumer informed of new products and launches.
However advertisement is not a stand alone. If the quality of product is comprosmised then no matter how effective the ad is the consumer won't bother to buy the product again.
Again ads are of 2 types
1. Commercial - intended to establish a customer base of a particular company or product.
2. Non-commercial - intended to promote awareness towards issues of social concern

No doubt both influence the consumers either directly or indirectly.

Also the emergence of media and sports icons in advertisements highlights the importance and impact of advertisements in our lives. The ad culture is also responsible for giving rise to Ad agencies and hence creating means of employment. Ads are also a means of entertainment for many of us. Consistent advertising strategy helps to build a relationship with the consumer.
However in my view ads have the following negative influences:
1. Creates a kind of monopoly of some firms, which makes new firms hard to enter the market.
2. Encourages luxury
3. Leads to wastage of natural resources
4. Increases the cost of goods
5. Involves a lot of money.

Hence ads are a necessary evil.

Good going guys..keep it up...:new_scatter:

@study_hard
Good points... I agree with you in all of your points except one.
i.e Increases the cost of goods
My take would be as now a days all the products are first launch with ads and they know how the other product under same category are performing, so here comes competition and where there is competition everyone try to win the situation and price are bound to go down and credit goes to ads being displayed on the big scale.
Lets take example of coaching institute e.g if coaching institute X conduct one free mock test for scholarship and in same league another say Y was conducting a scholarship mock test for some minimal price after coaching X announce its free mock Y is tempted to make mock free and by this students get benefited. Similarly it apply to lot many products also.
Regarding monopoly I feel if Some A product is good and if B want to enter the market it has to be as good as A or better which in turn mean good product to consumers.
