Classified Ads are very convenient and informative.

Some try to exaggerate the quality of their products in advertisement to gain the instant profit,but it turns out to be a big failure in the end.
To make full use of the advertisement,we should build a creditable atmosphere in business circles.
What do you think of the idea of advertising?
Shall we put our advertisement in the newspaper or on television?
Could you repeat the ad in the next issue of the newspaper?
Different forms of advertisement have different targets.
If necessary,we’ll launch our new advertising campaign.
If necessary,we’ll withdraw the ad.

根据我们专家组的预测,即使现在还没有做到,但是品牌会很快主宰一切,包括市场、销售、运行、管理各个方面。
In this conditional clause if it hasn’t already,be everything is omitted to avoid repetition.
Example,The impact of the Internet on society might be significant,if it hasn’t already.
(Para,3) The only way a small retailer stays alive is by delivering an ultimate personal experience to the consumer.
小店能生存的唯一方式就是靠给顾客送来最直接感受到的人际关系的体验。
In this sentence,the subject compliment if this sentence is a prepositional phrase (is) by delivering…,and since by is a proposition,the verb deliver takes its V-ing form.
Example,The reason for the rapid increase in the output is by introducing the modern assembly line from Japan.
(Para,6) On the other hand,if consumers are smart and are buying what the brand is rather than what the brand image is,that,Will make the brand less important.
另一方面,如果消费者聪明理智,确实只购买货真价实的品牌产品,而不是追逐徒有虚名的品牌形象,品牌就不会那末重要。
The verb are buying in the if-clause takes two objects,both being what-clause connected by rather than,means,so that it can perform its function.”
Example,It is what you can do rather than what you can say what matters in the job-hunting market..
(Para,10) And the people who wanted to work at the company were the people who wanted those clothes.
想成为公司一员的人都是想买这些服装的人。
