What are the most advertised products in your country?

In my country, I’d say the most heavily advertised products are smartphones, beauty products, food delivery apps, online shopping platforms, and financial services like credit cards or e-wallets. These products appear everywhere, from billboards and TV commercials to short videos on social media. Companies advertise them so aggressively because they are linked to everyday habits, so people can be influenced quite quickly if the message is repeated often enough. Between newspaper advertising and online advertising, online advertising is definitely more effective nowadays. It can reach people instantly, target specific groups, and even track whether people click, watch, or buy something. Newspapers may still work for older readers or local businesses, but their influence is much more limited. Advertising can be useful because it informs consumers about new products, creates competition, and sometimes helps people compare prices or features before making a decision. That said, advertising also has a manipulative side. Celebrity endorsements can be powerful because people trust familiar faces, but sometimes the celebrity has no real connection with the product, so it feels less genuine. I do think advertising often encourages people to buy things they don’t really need, especially when it creates a sense of urgency or makes people feel they are missing out. Social media has made this even stronger because ads are mixed with entertainment, influencer content, and personal recommendations, so people may not always notice they are being persuaded.
