Why Marketing Has Become So Evil (& Six Tips on How Consumers Can Overcome the Spell)
The two key reasons marketing has degenerated into consumer trickery, and six tips consumers can use to protect themselves, according to consumer advocate Brian Vaszily.
(PRWEB) September 11, 2006 -- According to Brian Vaszily, consumer advocate and columnist, "The number one reason that marketing has degenerated into a range of sinister tricks played on consumers is because most merchandise, services, brands, people, ideas and beliefs being marketed these days are crap, and there is more of this crap than ever."
The close number two reason, according to Brian Vaszily?
"Because our trust in one another is almost extinct." And therefore, even when marketers DO promote one of the relative few worthwhile products or services directly -- without the use of "tricks" -- no one believes a word of it. Therefore, according to Vaszily, even the well-intentioned marketers have to resort to "tricks" to get their products recognized.
