Question

what is a disadvantage of advertising? select one: a. ads dont reach enough people b. ads are impersonal c. ads repeat the brand d. ads dont build awareness

Explanation:

• Option a is incorrect because modern advertising (e.g., social media, TV ads) can reach large audiences, so this is not a typical disadvantage.
• Option c is incorrect because repeating a brand is an intentional, beneficial strategy to build recognition, not a disadvantage.
• Option d is incorrect because a core purpose of advertising is to build brand awareness, so this is the opposite of its function.
• Option b is correct because most mass-market advertising targets broad groups, lacking personalized, one-on-one connection with individual consumers, which is a key disadvantage.

Answer:

b. Ads are impersonal
