Marketing Don'ts- Bad Advertising

Advertising is very important for creating awareness for the product. However the purpose of advertising is not restricted only in creating awareness but its to impress the consumer, get his attention and convince him to buy the product. Good advertising does all three. However bad or misguided Ads will have the opposite effect. Not only will it discourage sales but will also damage the companys' reputations putting them in a lot of hot water

Here is another list compiled by Time Magazine showing the worst ads. these ads are considered terrible because they involve racial stereotyping, inappropriate sexual innuendos and others simply did not make sense or get the message across. Most of these ads left consumers either disturbed or offended. View at your own risk.
