Abstract

Critics of current marketing practices complain that consumers do not have adequate information on which to base decisions. These information deficiencies, it is argued, result in higher prices, “artificial" brand differences and a stress on product attributes that represent no real value to consumers. Further, there appears to be widespread controversy between marketers and critics as to the usefulness of information communicated through advertising, especially television advertising.
