In a way. There are a number of strategies that target "needs" and there are even products that we literally need to live, maybe not that specific product, but we need water for instance and purchasing water in a bottle, or a water filter, is an option.

As for "artificial needs," take home security. Commercials quite consistently choose the tactic of "if you are a woman with a daughter you will die if you don't buy this" and so an artificial need. You may or may not die with or without that product, but when that tactic works it is because it has created an artificial need.

If you are talking about a strong want though, you are exaggerating the the intentional impact of a commercial or ad, and conflating the product's ad with the reaction it creates.

If a commercial for a specific purse for instance, creates a buzz and a bunch of people are like "I need that purse" it is not the same as the home security example because though the reaction of some may be akin to that of fulfilling a "need," those who want the product do know they don't actually need the product, and that's not even the intent of the ad. Usually those types of ads are purposely appealing to things like status and fitting in--which in the human animal can be just as powerful a strategy.

Yes, as I see, lots of things in our world are already made for artificial purposes. TV is one of them. People dont use TV as their past time before, and yet, someone invented the TV. The shampoo and beauty products, yeah, it also promotes artificial needs. Back then, people dont use that because they know that using plant and natural supplies are helpful. Mostly, things in our world now are created and advertised for artificial purposes.

Yes it(advertising) does plays an important role, since in our day-to-day life we were so busy that we hardly aware of those thing which are happening around us. So reading headlines get to aware of those thing in which advertisement of products also comes.

Thats the whole point of marketing. They want the message to get through your head and sit there until you buy their product. I don't see ads that say "Buy you basic needs first". Most businesses could care less. Doritos wouldn't mind if you ate their food every single day. Thats just more money in their pocket and their strategy apperently worked.

Yes I agree the advertising create artificial needs, advertisement has become a vital instrument in attracting consumers. Very often consumers get carried away with the advertisements and buy products which they might have otherwise not required.

Yes, it certainly does. 50 years ago, computers did not exist in the mainstream public.

Now, you are expected to own one, and also a cellphone. If you don't own one, you are seen as unusual.

It's expected to own and watch TV and other things like that too. You are just expected to buy and own these advanced machines.

Yes. There is a chemistry to life. Chemistry is predictable. Like stimuli and reaction. Humans like shiny things and symmetrical things. Studies are done to find out what humans react to. This information is used to stimulate the "impulse buy." Entire sciences are based on stimulating people's impulse buy. For example: Coupons are designed stimuli the "gambler" in us to think that we "winning money." People develop addictions to coupon shopping and buy stuff they don't need because it's a good deal.

.

There many subconscious stimuli's used to. For example, the sexy model on the shampoo, water images cause a subconscious sexual attraction. Stores are set up so when you walk it, symbols that cause hunger are seen. Red stimulates hunger, so you see the apples and tomatoes when you go into the Giant. Studies have shown that people buy up to 40% more then what they intended to get if the store is setup right.

if we see the originality of the items, it will make us spit at it

basically i saw this vacuum cleaner and i got so engrossed because the lady was cleaning the bathroom with it and it was a reasonable price. then i called the number to buy it. I called it and here is the dialogue

"Hello? ---- Vacuum Cleaner Products speaking,"

"Yes. I'd like to buy an vacuum cleaner."

"Oh, ok. For 30 days, you pay 46.59 dollars and then you give the full price of 159.99"

"What? Are you kidding me? Can you please repeat that? There must have been a mistake."

"No maam. After you pay 46.59 dollar you will give us 159.99. Is that clear. Now lets go on with the pricing. Paypal or Mastercard?"

"Um, sorry, but I think there must have been a mistake. I don't want to pay 159.99 dollars. "

Advertising will cause impulse buying. Children will see toys advertised and pester their parents to buy those toys for them.
