Dear Mamia Tetvadze, The psychological impact of Internet advertising can be relatively large. Especially online advertisements posted on social media portals, including banners and advertising videos created and published in the Real-Time Marketing formula and duplicated by users of these portals in the viral marketing formula, are one of the most effective marketing instruments in recent years.
I am a teacher and besides that I am also an entrepreneur. I have an education business. Education as a commodity is considered very sophisticated. So it has to be advertised in a very sophisticated manner in a sophisticated medium.

The decision is also easy to take and so less energy sucking. Even if the product does not suit the customer, the customer considers it her/ his fault and tries to adjust with the product. The customer complains less and pretends to enjoy the product, when she/ he is not enjoying.
