Advertising – How did this happen?
I noticed when shopping this weekend at Kohl’s that it is not very easy to find clothes without some kind of advertising. TShirts all have company’s names on them: jackets, sweat suits, even some pants have names or logos on them. So what’s the big deal?
Well, usually companies pay to advertise – magazine, billboards, movie and TV placement, etc. Big money exchanges hands. Yet somehow it became acceptable for us to pay for the privilege to wear someone’s logo as free advertising; often times actually paying more for that privilege.
It just seems strange to me. How did we let this happen?
