Chocolate Fountain Ad


Seen and tried the fancy chocolate fountain at hotel's buffet before ? Want to have one at home for parties too ? I saw this ad in Next Magazine and I wondered how many people would consider buying one. Few only I think. The ultimate question we need to ask ourselves is "should we advertise ?". Advertising does not do magic. Don't kid ourselves that advertising will create demands. In the very first place, we need to check and think about whether there is a consumer need. Only if yes, we do our marketing communications to let people know.

Some people may be attracted but I suspect most of us won't really bother. Try paying people to become a fan of your page ? You will need to pay more. LOL
