Impacts of adverts

I think adverts impact different people in different ways, because most people are shown what they want to see. If this is the case what ever product is being advertised, will be successful because it is appealing to the audience, for example when they advertise an apple product such as the iPhone, people will look at it as a necessity and that it is something that they must have.
Another example would be the NHS smoking advert, because it will give you facts about what will happen to you, so some may watch this and learn from it, but if it is not something that they particularly want to see, they wont watch it.
Advertisements also have a massive impact on children, because if there is a new to toy that is being advertised, they will show it to be the next best thing, and a child will stop at nothing to get this toy e.g. pester their parents.
