Consumer behavior is influenced by advertising/news, with both of these influences persuading consumers to buy a product or making the product appear to be more than it actually is, even leaving the consumer to feel they missed out if they don't go out and buy this new awesome product.
Two examples: a Wendy's( or any fast food advertisement) ad advertises the new 4 for 4, the consumer can get a burger, fries, chicken nuggets, and drink for only $4. Who wouldn't purchase this cheap, mouth watering deal?
