1. Advertising is important for most companies, es- pecially companies such as P&G that sells mostly to end customers. But, most people already know about P&G products such as Charmin bathroom tissue and moist towelettes, Crest toothpaste, and so on. Does P&G really need to constantly put money into advertising when its products already have a strong hold in the global marketplace? 2.
