Question

Many of us have had the unhappy experience of initially being excited about getting something and then having that excitement disappear when we found out that it really wasn't as advertised. Discuss why it is important that advertising and packaging not be false or misleading. You may wish to include your own experiences or those of people you know in your response

Answer 1

It is important that advertising and packaging not be false or misleading because it also harms your company's reputation.

Explanation:

People who've had experienced that will undoubtedly decide not to choose that advertisement or company since they spent something that is part of them (ex. money) to get what they want and/or need then they will get absolutely different from what they want and/or need. Specially when money is used, they would really not go back to that company again as they are working hard to earn money.

Answer 2

Well on obvious reason is that it is illegal to false advertise... there is also a term used in economics called "bait and switch" which is where they advertise an amazing product, but then you go the the store and they dont have it so they show you the "next best"... this practice is also illegal.
