Looking around at the world we are living in, it is not difficult to find out that we are surrounded by countless numbers of commercials now. As a strategy used to persuade customers to buy more products, advertisements are an exaggeration of the real quality of the products, and I do believe that they make commodities look much better.
First and foremost, many effects of the product in the commercials are actually fabricated, and it can be impossible to be verified or falsified. This is best illustrated with the example of personal care products. Typically, these products are promoted to contain certain kinds of ingredients that can have exclusive benefit for the skin. Nonetheless, the actual function of these substances can hardly be tested, unlike that of the speed of a computer. As a consequence, a customer is likely to spend a considerable amount of money, but fails to find the special effects that are described in the advertisements.
Secondly, we should always bear in mind that each product has its own advantages and weaknesses, but the manufacturers only show the shining points to people in commercials. For instance, it is not uncommon for a cell phone maker to boast the speed and graphical performance of the product, making it really tempting to customers. Once they buy the product, people may find that the battery of the product is short-lived, or the device heats a lot. All these weak points exposed in the course of using the device reveal the gap between advertisements and real products and disappoint the customers.
Last, an additional point comes to mind is that advertisements are a form of art, and just like any other art works, some elements in the advertisements are intentionally made to look good. Hence, in essence, advertisements are not necessarily the true manifestation of the product. In fact, there are many outstanding commercials that are praised and remembered because their artistic value, instead of the products they are promoting. But this unarguably makes the product better in the commercials.
Due to aforementioned ground, I agree with the idea that advertisements definitely make the product looker better than they really are.
