Once started elimination of advertising has deteriorating effects on sales. Advertising redistributes income rather than increasing income. In some industries advertising is such a large part of costs that it constitutes an important financial barrier. Advertising helps to create demand and adds to sales, consumption, investment, jobs, mass production, and profits. Although the majority of advertisers are honest, some are unscrupulous.
Advertising is unnecessary and wasteful.
The cost of advertising increases consumer prices. An economic benefit of advertising is that it creates many jobs for many people. Advertising adds little or nothing to the well being of society. Advertising is misleading. Some is helpful and informative, and some is meaningless.
