Is Marketing Important?

What have you noticed in our world today?
Have you tried asking yourself why this kind of things exists in our lives?
Are they important or not?

Throughout our lives, marketing became the part of it. Every day we woke-up with Seiko's alarm clock. We enter in the bathroom where we brush our teeth with happy toothpaste using Oral-B toothbrush, shave with Gillette, gargle with Astring -o-sol, and take a bath using Finesse Shampoo or Clairol Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner. Spray our hair with Citre Shine products or put some Penshoppe Hairstyling wax, brush our hair and put clips and ponytail it to look neat and clean. Uses ponds cream that promised to make us beautiful to night lotion Olive Oil Dry Mist from Body shop that swear to erase years of your face and body. Put make-up on the face from Avon products.

It's no wonder that millions of pesos are put into fierce marketing and packaging that will make you desire to buy every single chance you have and use toiletries like Joy's tissues, use different kinds of appliances produced by manufacturers around the world. We wear on our Levis or Jag jeans and Prada shoes that we but from the malls. We enter the kitchen and drink Minute Maid mango orange juice and pour Magnolia's milk into a bowl of Kellogg's Rice Krispies. Later we drink a cup of Nescafe coffee with two teaspoons of sugar while munching on a slice of chocolate mousse cake. We consume imported coffee that came from different places. If we're already bored in our house, we step out of our homes and drive immediately to the SM Department stores or in Ayala Center Cebu to shop and roam around with its Dolce and Gabbana, Penshoppe, Bench, Mark and Spencer clothes and hundreds of other stores filled with clothes and goods from the floor to ceiling. If we feel that we're getting fatter because of the food that we eat, we directly go to Fitness Center to have an exercise, to burn our calories and fats. Have our haircut at David Salon to have a beauty makeover. Inquire at a Wow Travel Agency and plan a trip to Hong Kong.

Cell phones also spurted here and there for one main purpose. Yup! You guessed it! For communicating people. Boy! I wonder how long this fad will last. It makes me ponder on the thought if our future children and our future grandchildren will also be text addicts just like most of us! Different units of cell phones were made every month with many advantages and contents inside. It was in the year 2000 when drop calls were discovered. When this 6 seconds calls mania spread like wildfire, it greatly helped us in our postpaid and prepaid budget. Due to the over flooding of cell phones,, different of anti-radiation stickers came out in the market. There are also lots of rubber cover, plastic cover, cellphones straps, and small pouch to keep the cellphone safe and protect them from damage. It has different kinds and styles to choose from.

Sony PS2 was introduced also this year with expensive price tags. Then later came out the portable DVD from the market. The marketing system has made all this possible with the little help on our part. It has given us a standard of living even our ancestors are using it in their time. Marketers do this to satisfy the needs and wants of the consumer. Consumer buy goods for personal use and of course, the consumer wants not only has a good quality but also has the durability, reliable product, inexpensive and other attributes desired in the items they want to buy.
