) p# x$ a$ F1 Q" U! I6 q# U　　Do you believe/agree/support that advertisement is the best way in promoting sales?
, O  K3 `0 _) k) p　　回答问题时简明扼要
! ~" q* I8 t/ @$ O/ x1 P　　Answer to question 1
1 v0 f7 G8 P1 D3 @　　There are two main aspects we must take into consideration when judging the objectives of a specific advertising program. Firstly, we must decide what major category the product belongs to. Secondly, the current sales situation of the product on the market should be considered.
3 J) Z9 s0 L/ s- ~2 H　　Answer to question 2
　　I think the advertisement costs can be controlled by two ways. The first way is to choose the most economically-efficient media, such as newspaper or radio rather than TV slots, for the former two will reach the general public at a relatively low cost. The second way is to ensure that the quantity of advertisement is appropriate, with no space for waste.
( d6 X* a& i: s. _+ J/ O5 B　　Answer to question 3
4 @) Y/ b9 N" B) a  U　　Since my company’s manufacturing mainly focuses on food products, I believe TV may be the best media for advertisement.

6 ~# P' }+ u1 ]# T% S　　Answer to question 4
　　Yes, I quite agree with you. Because the market situation keeps changing almost without stop, timely adjusting is of key importance leading to a successful launch of an advertising program. But it never reduces the significance of preparation.
( a/ f# `$ d* j0 B　　Answer to question 5
　　Thank you for your interest in our company. Actually, our company adopted this evaluating system last year. It has worked very well up till now, providing us with a set of quantified standards in evaluation, which are much more objective in comparison with previously man-made criteria.
+ E& I3 |' s* U: _, U* X8 \　　Answer to question 6
9 f2 R6 Y" I3 L; ]$ o# o+ C! k4 b　　It cannot be denied that advertisement is a very effective way of sales promotion, but I don’t think it is the only way to do this. Cutting prices, for example, sometimes generates the same result as advertisement does. And that’s a more direct way, and is money-saving.
