- Kids have very strong influence on decision making Pester power: or known as the nag factor , learn to assiocate material items as their needs and wants, and many parents buy into these things I have to emphasize again children’s buying power of $25-30 billion, not million, billion! directly influence clothes, snacks, soft drinks, toys entertainment Indirectly influence: how can that be? That is too so much money? Yes its true. From family vacations are the biggest influencer, then 2 nd most cell phones. Also cars when parents thinking about safety issues and car pooling, They need it roomy and don’t forget road trips., Also recreation, food, accessories, school suppils, computers, different kids of technology, TVs, beauty aid and even home appliances Another influencing factor that kids feed off of is peer pressure from their friends and classmates. What they are wearing, doing, going and seeing from movies to Jamba Juice or dunken donuts. And so the want factors is an never ending cycle

By time go to preschool recognize 100 brands/logos American Psychological Association (APA) has recommended restrictions on advertising that targets children under the age of eight, based on research showing that children under this age are unable to critically comprehend televised advertising messages and are prone to accept advertiser messages as truthful, accurate and unbiased. 5 They don’t understand it disorts views of the world. For EX: sound effects amplified They are easily influenced, not skceptical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hdm69hpO-E ))

Everyone wants to blame advertising. Pointing the finger is always easier.
