Yes, advertisements definitely influence our shopping decisions. They are everywhere, constantly showing us the latest products and deals. Advertisements are designed to catch our eye and make us think we need something even if we don't. They use catchy phrases and attractive images to draw us in, and often, we end up buying things just because we saw them advertised.

I don't think advertisements really influence everyone's shopping decisions. Many people are quite skeptical and don't easily believe what ads claim. Instead, they prefer to rely on product reviews or recommendations from friends and family. Experienced shoppers, in particular, tend to focus more on the quality and usefulness of a product rather than the advertisement.

It really depends on the person and the situation. For some, advertisements can be quite influential, especially if they aren't very familiar with the product. However, for others who are more informed or skeptical, ads might not make much of a difference. Also, the effectiveness of ads can vary greatly depending on how well they are targeted to the specific needs and interests of their audience.
