Chapter 10 Question 3


Something that I found interesting in this section was the part about Fallacies in Marketing. Especially the part about the fallacy of popular appeal, which basically is the idea that everyone is doing it so you should do it too. Many people tend to follow what “in” Fashion does a great shop at making trends happen and make people want to buy it.  For example, Hollister gives off the vibe, if you buy our clothes you will be more of a beachy type of person and many people buy into that idea and buy all their clothes from there. A lot of companies like to use celebrities as a form of wanting people to buy things. If “Kim Kardishian” has an iphone, then everyone is going to want to buy one only because she has one. Many people only want to fit in so they spend whatever it takes to do so and many companies know this.
