第四題:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order for a business to succeed, it must put more money in advertising.
觀點:不同意只投錢在廣告上。
1) 讓步段。廣告的確很重要。但是只有廣告是不夠的。(后面的觀點選2個寫就可以了)
2) 產品質量也很關鍵。
3) 產品創新也是不可忽略的因素。
4) 產品的售后服務也要跟上。
本題可用短語或句子:
1)Frequent advertising builds awareness, awareness builds familiarity, and familiarity builds trust. If a brand stops advertising, prospects and current customers may think it is troubled or out of business.
2)A well-executed, targeted campaign can trigger quick sales. Unique, strategically-grounded advertising turns wants into needs.
3)Your customers expect you to deliver quality products. If you do not, they will quickly look for alternatives. Quality is critical to satisfying your customers and retaining their loyalty so they continue to buy from you in the future. Quality products make an important contribution to long-term revenue and profitability. They also enable you to charge and maintain higher prices.
4)Quality influences your company’s reputation. The growing importance of social media means that customers and prospects can easily share both favorable opinions and criticism of your product quality on forums, product review sites and social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter. A strong reputation for quality can be an important differentiator in markets that are very competitive. Poor quality or a product failure that results in a product recall campaign can create negative publicity and damage your reputation.
5)The things you sell to consumers must also be safe, and not just for legal reasons. If you are in the food industry and you sell rotten food to a customer, it can lead to health issues for that person. Similarly, if you sell an electronics device that has not passed safety inspections, it can lead to safety issues for the consumer, like an electrical fire or shock. Malfunctioning or unsafe products are a threat in almost every industry, and could lead to dangerous situations for your customers.
6)pay heed to creativity關注創新
