1). Where can we see this kind of promotion?
This type of promotion, we can see in supermarkets, on the street, in the shopping and entertainment center and in other public places.
2). Which of these promotions might attract you? Why?
I would be attracted to such an action as: reducing the price of potatoes. Because potatoes are necessary in every home, and if the price of potatoes is reduced, it will be very good for disadvantaged families.
3). Which ones would you ignore? Why?
I would ignore such a promotion as: free demonstration of something. Because, from a free demonstration of something, there will be almost no use. Of course, you can learn a lot with a free demo, but it will not bring any benefit to a dysfunctional family.
