The advertising influence on the consumption of clothing and footwear brands in a youth context

Abstract

With this article we pretend to know the influence that advertising may have in the process of youth consumption of brands of clothing and footwear. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was applied to students of the 9th year of three schools in Cascais. We found that advertising is recognized as a purely informative and not persuasive source. Nonetheless, the advertising influence may not been recognized. There was also a privileged relation established by girls with advertising.
