It is difficult not to fall for marketing strategies, you have to be very intelligent, because they generally make you create an illusion that you truly have a need for some product that they are marketing, many times these strategies transcend and camouflage themselves very well, a clear example of all the We who watch football know that Coca-Cola is the main image of the World Cup just as Heineken is the official drink of the Champions League, drinks that are not at all healthy outside of any dietary context that promotes good nutrition, but we know that through this sport they have a greater field of vision and thus attract countless consumers
Marketers are very clever and employ some rather underhanded techniques to get people to buy.. I don't think a person has to be intelligent to avoid them though, they just have to know how to say no, or turn off the sources of marketing like social media and TV.
Well you are right and I totally agree with you on that friend.
