Having known about a make, buyers would pay more attention to its products and consider them as superior to those from other brand names on display. For instance, Oppo, a make of smartphones from China sets a good example of advertising achievement in market. By choosing celebrities as their representatives, smartphones of them become popular in Vietnam and attract a lot of Vietnamese customers.

On the other hand, there are various excuses for people to make decisions for buying a thing or not. Firstly, if people are not in need of something, they won't waste money for this instead of shopping for other things. For example, my family haves a washing machine which is still running well now so it's obvious that we won't bother replacing it. Secondly, price is one of the most important consideration of customers before spending money for a product. High-income people would likely to find a superior product with lastest features wheres other classes of people may only need a product responding adequately their basic needs with a reasonable price.
