Good advertising/selling isn’t necessarily about why the product is actually better than others it’s finding out what the customer perceives as making a product superior and persuading them your product has those qualities however you have to manipulate descriptions to do that.
Prime example on TV at the moment is an ad for a cruise liner company. Huge ship drinking thousand of litres of fossil fuels an hour carrying thousands of people throwing endless food away daily spewing raw sewage into the sea. A major part of the ad states how can we cruise carbon neutral? Answer in reality it’s completely impossible, they say we’re working hard on that for you. What does that mean? Nothing, they state no results for any progress made, but 75% of viewers come away thinking they are a ‘green’ company and 30% who were only half listening because the kettle was on now think they actually are carbon neutral. That’s advertising

If only there was a board/organisation that could automatically deduct a grotesque and eye watering amount off of each of every finished beast lamb and pig we sold without our consent to promote our products it would be such a wonderful thing to be contributing towards…
