Author : Dr. Vinod Patil and Dr. Shubham Gupta

Abstract :

Through enticing offerings that would fulfil their goals and desires, persuasive advertising attempts to persuade a consumer to acquire a product or service. Advertising, which is a component of the marketing mix, is frequently utilised to draw in new potential clients and keep hold of current ones. The main goal of advertising is to inform consumers about the goods. Consumers are persuaded to buy a product or service by persuasive advertising based on their feelings, not on the facts. As a result, it has grown to be crucial for marketing and sales. Advertising behaviour can be divided into two categories: ethical behaviour and unethical behaviour. The purpose of the study is to clarify the moral and immoral facets of advertising and ascertain how they affect college students' purchasing decisions. This study looks at the strategies employed in ads to influence and persuade consumers to purchase a product. The study also lists the numerous marketing channels that are employed for student-targeted advertising. This essay shows the findings from a quantitative study that was done among PG-level college students who were chosen using simple random sampling.
