第四题:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In order for a business to succeed, it must put more money in advertising.
观点:不同意只投钱在广告上。
1) 让步段。广告的确很重要。但是只有广告是不够的。(后面的观点选2个写就可以了)
2) 产品质量也很关键。
3) 产品创新也是不可忽略的因素。
4) 产品的售后服务也要跟上。
本题可用短语或句子:
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关注创新
7)Some customers are price-sensitive有些顾客对价格很敏感
8)after-sales service售后服务

10)ensure products’ quality and affordability确保产品质量好价格低
