| Advertisement and marketing |
But do you know a large percentage of people get very easily and falsely influenced by advertisement and marketing so much that they buy out the things they don't even need.
Understand how to buy stuff with smart buyer ethics as wanting something is different and needing something is different and you should always go for the things you need first.
3 simple rules for understanding what are you buying why are you buying and how should you be buying.
RULE 1 : STAY AWAY FROM “GREAT DEALS”THAT REALLY AREN’T

How many times have you heard someone say, “I had to buy it because it was a bargain”? There really is a sucker born every minute.
Unfortunately, that sucker is often the individual who is just starting out and learning how to manage his or her money.
▪Telemarketers of every kind—I’ll make this easy. Do not purchase anything from a phone solicitor.
▪Mails that promise you free trips or other prizes—ultimately, there is always a“hook” here, and it almost always results in your loss of both time and money.
These kinds of mailings will often ask you to pay high handling fees and bad taxes in advance. Rest assured that once you send in your taxes/handling fees, you will never see the advertised prize you won (or it won’t be as described).
▪Internet e-mail offers—We have all received one telling us we’ve been selected by a foreign individual to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars.
▪Paying fees in advance for receiving loans or credit cards—No matter how bad your credit is, don’t ever do this.
▪Advertised job opportunities that ask for a fee—If you’re asked for an up-front fee to get the job, walk away from the opportunity. Many “work at home” opportunities are not real as these take away both your money and your identity.
▪Miracle products—Magic Stuff that guarantee you will lose fifteen pounds in two weeks, sprays that make your bald head full of hair, knives that will cut through a hard tough rough surface.
OK, you get the point. Even though we've tried our best and warned you about some basic potential pitfalls, we are almost certain you will still fall very badly for one of these.
To save yourself from the advertisement and marketing use the following criteria to evaluate whether a “bargain” is something that will save or cost money:
1.Do you know what is the best fair price is for the product?
2.Would you be interested in it if it were at the full price?
3.Is it something that you will use on a regular basis?
4.Besides food, is it something you will use more than a couple of times?
5.Is the quality very good or is it something that need replacement soon?
6.Is the cost of getting the “bargain” too much?
7.Are they asking to buy too much of the advertised product?
We know it’s difficult to resist that deal on clothes or games as you walk though stores in the mall, but think twice about the “bargain.”
Here are a few quick tips for negotiation:
Ask lots of questions, and let “them” do lot of talking. You will be amazed at what you learn and how easily you can get the best price.
▪Do your research and have all the facts ready with you.
▪Never show the need to “absolutely have to have” something; be willing to compromise on what you purchase.
▪Delay your purchase until the price and terms are better and acceptable.
▪Pay cash for a better deal.The best example of this is when you purchase your dream car.
▪The salesperson will ask you hell lots of questions to confuse you. Do the reverse to him or her. And dont let yourself be trapped in advertisement and marketing bluff.
▪Use the Internet to find out the real pricing and available profit discounts.
▪Don’t fall in love with one specific item. Make sure the salesperson knows you have plenty of good alternatives.
▪Don’t buy until you’ve left the showroom at least a couple of times. It’s rare when a sales person won’t come after you with “one final, better deal.”
▪At the end, pay cash (don’t lease). Buy only what you can afford the item easily. If you use these quick tips, you will save yourself thousands and hundred of dollars on just one your item purchase.
If you keep in the back of your mind the thought that prices and terms are always very easily negotiable and if you’re not afraid to negotiate, you will get better prices and terms on that item more often very easily.
These three basic rules will always help you with advertisement and marketing bluffs and will help you buy the things you want with great profit.
So, let’s talk about the very show off fake big deals you should avoid. Most of this is common sense, but people fall for these advertisement and marketing stuff every day:
▪Telemarketers of every kind—I’ll make this easy. Do not purchase anything from a phone solicitor.
▪Mails that promise you free trips or other prizes—ultimately, there is always a“hook” here, and it almost always results in your loss of both time and money.
These kinds of mailings will often ask you to pay high handling fees and bad taxes in advance. Rest assured that once you send in your taxes/handling fees, you will never see the advertised prize you won (or it won’t be as described).
▪Internet e-mail offers—We have all received one telling us we’ve been selected by a foreign individual to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To receive it, all you need to do is send this person a few dollars and/or your bank account information. If you ever did it, you wouldn’t find anything left in your bank account a few days later.
▪Paying fees in advance for receiving loans or credit cards—No matter how bad your credit is, don’t ever do this.
▪Advertised job opportunities that ask for a fee—If you’re asked for an up-front fee to get the job, walk away from the opportunity. Many “work at home” opportunities are not real as these take away both your money and your identity.
▪Miracle products—Magic Stuff that guarantee you will lose fifteen pounds in two weeks, sprays that make your bald head full of hair, knives that will cut through a hard tough rough surface.
These are all very basic advertisement and marketing stuff that you must be very much aware of guys.
OK, you get the point. Even though we've tried our best and warned you about some basic potential pitfalls, we are almost certain you will still fall very badly for one of these.
Stay away from it. Strangers aren’t just going to give you something for nothing. We can guarantee that.
This is a bit different from the last principle explained by us to you. Every day, you see “deals” and “bargains” on everything from food to television sets advertised and marketed by companies.
RULE 2: STAY AWAY FROM “CHEAP BARGAINS”

| Great Deals |
The most basic advertisement and marketing bluff that every one plays around is trying to show that the the product you buy is a very cheap bargain.
This is a bit different from the last principle explained by us to you. Every day, you see “deals” and “bargains” on everything from food to television sets advertised and marketed by companies.
The deal is usually good only for a specified period of time, so you’re forced to think fast and act very quickly.
Remember one thing: Just because someone says something is a very good bargain doesn’t mean it is one to you.What do we mean by this?
We ask you this question, and it should bring everything to light: How many times have you bought something that was supposed to be a very great “bargain” and later realized you had absolutely no need for it and its a waste?
Or, that you purchased much more than you actually needed? Or, that the price really wasn’t a bargain?
A simple case in the advertisement and marketing point: the kiosk salespeople in malls; they come at you with very high-fi special lotions, great cellphone deals, remote control helicopters, and numerous other bargains.
Avoid them like you avoid a harmful plague. Just about all of their “bargains” are overpriced. Worse yet, many of them are products you will never use.
To save yourself from the advertisement and marketing use the following criteria to evaluate whether a “bargain” is something that will save or cost money:
1.Do you know what is the best fair price is for the product?
2.Would you be interested in it if it were at the full price?
3.Is it something that you will use on a regular basis?
4.Besides food, is it something you will use more than a couple of times?
5.Is the quality very good or is it something that need replacement soon?
6.Is the cost of getting the “bargain” too much?
7.Are they asking to buy too much of the advertised product?
We know it’s difficult to resist that deal on clothes or games as you walk though stores in the mall, but think twice about the “bargain.”
Is it something you absolutely have to have? If it’s something you don’t need, then use your willpower.
Never accept easily the price of any high cost product or service (particularly big-ticket items).
RULE 3 : NEGOTIATE EVERYTHING

| Negotiate everything |
The most important and must do thing is to negotiate everything for saving yourself from advertisement and marketing bluff.
Never accept easily the price of any high cost product or service (particularly big-ticket items).
Most people accept the high price as a given when it’s really not that high. Negotiation is very much uncomfortable. It causes high stress and tension. It makes you look very cheap.
It makes you feel basically very rude. Sometimes it even makes you feel very dumb. All of these are true (at times), but negotiation also easily saves you hundreds of thousands of dollars in a lifetime and helps you improve your purchase power.
So never fall into the trap of advertisement and marketing bluff and always negotiate to get the best price.
Here are a few quick tips for negotiation:
Ask lots of questions, and let “them” do lot of talking. You will be amazed at what you learn and how easily you can get the best price.
▪Do your research and have all the facts ready with you.
▪Never show the need to “absolutely have to have” something; be willing to compromise on what you purchase.
▪Delay your purchase until the price and terms are better and acceptable.
▪Pay cash for a better deal.The best example of this is when you purchase your dream car.
▪The salesperson will ask you hell lots of questions to confuse you. Do the reverse to him or her. And dont let yourself be trapped in advertisement and marketing bluff.
▪Use the Internet to find out the real pricing and available profit discounts.
▪Don’t fall in love with one specific item. Make sure the salesperson knows you have plenty of good alternatives.
▪Don’t buy until you’ve left the showroom at least a couple of times. It’s rare when a sales person won’t come after you with “one final, better deal.”
▪At the end, pay cash (don’t lease). Buy only what you can afford the item easily. If you use these quick tips, you will save yourself thousands and hundred of dollars on just one your item purchase.
If you keep in the back of your mind the thought that prices and terms are always very easily negotiable and if you’re not afraid to negotiate, you will get better prices and terms on that item more often very easily.
Remember, if you never ask for something that you really want, it is impossible to receive anything. Use negotiation technique to get what you want at the price you want to pay.
These three basic rules will always help you with advertisement and marketing bluffs and will help you buy the things you want with great profit.
