The purpose of marketing are numerous. It helps consumers to identify products choose between products, but also notifies consumers in terms of new additions / products / promotions, and helps sell your company or organization product, service or idea to the public. In the last century, marketing has soared from an industry worth millions to billions and billions fast approaching. Marketing has gone from mouth to mouth on the radio, television, and advertising team. It is estimated that the average American today, you receive over 3000 ads every days! I guess 99.9% of the ads have gone through within the last 100 years. It may sound all wonderful, but the truth is, eventually you'll be exposed to hundreds of thousands or millions of ads in a newspaper, in this century. In my view, this is the perfect time to be alive. With the talks going to have video games with ads so many that the advertiser pays for game systems that play. I like to live in a world, but what can we do? Seriously.
