The Influence of Advertising on Pricing
Advertising makes an immense difference in the popularity of a product. Studies have shown that consumers usually
pay more for advertised products than non-advertised products. As a result, the marketing and advertising industry
is a multibillion-dollar-a-year business. Local commercials can cost as little as several hundred dollars to products,
while national companies have been known to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single commercial.
Interestingly, the source of these expensive commercials is the consumers who view the advertisements from the
comfort of their living room. Companies influence the prices that consumers pay in two ways.
When consumers purchase any products, they are obviously paying for the cost of manufacturing the product.
However, they are also paying for the advertising campaign devised to convince consumers to buy the product. The
more costly the advertising campaign, the higher the price paid by consumers. Companies are allowed to set these
high prices because consumers have shown that they will continue to pay them. For instance, a multinational chain
of coffee shops significantly raised its prices a few years ago, due in no small part to an expensive national
advertising campaign. While regular customers noticed and were not fond of the hike, one was quoted as saying, “I

Khoá học PRO S – luyện thi THPTQG 2017 – Cô Vũ Mai Phương – MOON.VN
doubt it will make an impact [on consumers]. It won’t change my habit.” Indeed, it did not, the company experienced
record sales in spite of the fact its prices were higher than its competitors’.
Another way advertising tends to affect product pricing is seen in the arena of perceived value to the consumers.
The perceived value is the worth that consumers assign to a product. Studies show that often the advertising for a
product determines its value more than the quality or necessity of the product itself. One way a company may take
advantage of this perceived value is by running commercials during prime time. These ads are usually much more
expensive than others. For example, a national commercial that ran during a popular American show cost close to
$745,000 to run for thirty seconds. If people watching the show perceive that the product is more valuable simply
because it was advertised during prime time, they are often willing to pay higher prices. So, whether it is seen in
the cost of the commercials or the advertiser-assigned value, it is obvious that advertising drives product pricing
and directly affects consumers.
Question 11: The author mentions commercials running during prime time in order to ____.
A: contrast effective advertising with unsuccessful product.
B: refute the idea that consumers pay more for products they see on television.
C: explain how consumers justify paying higher prices for products.
D: provide a function of television advertising on a national level

A: a costly advertising campaign that failed
B: the competitive nature of the advertising industry
C: a means by which large businesses deceive consumers.

Question 13: Which of the following is NOT true about the perceived value of a product?
A: It is partially determined by consumers.
B: It is influenced by advertising.
C: It can be higher than the actual value.
D: It is the same as the true value.
Question 14: Which of the following can the inferred from paragraph 3?
A: Price is not the only factor affecting buyer decisions.
B: Consumers will pay less when they see expensive advertisements.

C: The lowest-priced products are usually purchased the most.
D: Consumers become angry when prices are raised too high.

to each of the questions from 26 to 32.

The idea of life in outer space has been talked about for a long time. Some scientists say that life development on
Earth was far too unlikely for it to have happened anywhere else. Things had to be perfect for us to make it on this
planet. Other scientists say that space is too big. Stars and other planets are far too numerous for there to be no
other life in the universe.
For many years, there have been reports of visitors from other planets. People all around the world have claimed to
see alien spaceships or even aliens themselves. There have been glimpses of these so-called UFOs (unidentified
flying objects) flying through the air and they have even been captured on video. Some Americans believe that the
U.S. Army found an alien spaceship crashed in the desert and then lied to the press about it. Although these sightings
may be true, scientists have not found significant evidence that aliens exist.
If you go out into the countryside on a clear night and look up, you can see thousands of stars. These stars make up
a tiny part of our universe. There are more stars, planets, and galaxies than we can count. Even the smartest scientists
can’t even come close to defining how big space is. The number of possible stars and planets out there is bigger
than our ability to count. If we are really on the only planet that can sustain life, then we are special in a universe
full of amazing things.
