If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.在產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)和研發(fā)階段，廠家可以有足夠的時(shí)間來考慮而不必?fù)?dān)心是否每個(gè)人都會(huì)買它。設(shè)計(jì)人員在忙于考慮諸如勞動(dòng)力時(shí)間、機(jī)器強(qiáng)度以及壓力因素時(shí)可以不考慮消費(fèi)者喜好的因素。所以他們可以只管生產(chǎn)出產(chǎn)品然后讓廣告商通過聲稱此商品象征身份、地位，能夠吸引愛情或是彰顯男人魅力等，去尋找足夠的理由來吸引消費(fèi)者購買。倘若廣告代理果真能做到足夠令人信服，廠家則可高枕無憂了。因此選B。
