Document Summary
Parents often buy their kids items because the kid simply argues to have that item purchased. For businesses this is often a big factor for them since it gains them revenue. Being able to make advertisements that target these kids would make selling a lot easier since children would actively nag to their parents wanting the newest toys or even goto the theme parks they want. Survey revealed that most parents would prefer to go to burger. Nagging has made parents take kids to mcdonald"s and this dynamic has made the restaurant one of the most successful businesses in the world. Parents who are busy with jobs often respond to their kids" wishes because they want to please and indulge them. Some businesses realized that some sales were mostly because of the children nagging, and by having this, they realized they could boost up sales if they could encourage this behavior more often.
