Question

Discuss how surface area and volume play a role in marketing products, such as advantages and disadvantages. Give specific examples and include related information when appropriate, such as surface area, lateral area, cross section, etc.

Answer 1

Big packages drives you to the illusion that the contents are bigger or better which is actually not possible.Even garbage can fill up a huge truck. 
Selling something with more volume means you get more for the money. 
Advantage of marketing something as bigger helps you to get them to buy more than the usual.Its a technique to sell more items. 
Disadvantage is they don't need to come back as often to buy again.
