Answers
Advertisement is an impersonal way of popularising products, ideas, concepts, etc. Companies advertise their products to reach out to the consumers. By doing this they sensitise the customers especially the younger ones.
In one day, people are exposed to a huge number of advertisements. It is not possible for them to remember all these all the time. To make the consumer retain the information in the ad for a long time, companies use celebrities from various fields like films, sports, etc.
The big companies target the younger generation because they follow the latest trends and influence the buying behaviour of their family. They imitate the celebrities. They dress themselves like them. They like to use those products, which the stars promote. By doing this they try to satisfy their social ego. But sometimes, it becomes detrimental for them.
Majority of ads put disclaimer to make the viewer/consumer aware that the ad shown is just a pictorial representation and the stunt should not be tried at home. However, such messages are so small that they often go unseen.
