Which of the following is NOT a useful strategy when making an informed purchase

Based on the options you have mentioned under the "comments" section, I'd choose option A. Its not useful to let social media influence you and do the deciding for you!

Explanation:

Looking at the price, comparing the cost and quality of various similar products, reading and analyzing the product reviews are all great ways to be informed and educated before spending your hard earned cash on something.

However, getting influenced through social media or through any media and letting the fancy words, graphics and quotes in marketing campaigns cloud your rational judgement is not very wise (its actually Stupid!) of course they influence you in some way, yet you must always decide rationally through logical reasoning.

Do I really need this? Are there any other products with the same quality at a lower price? Why is this so expensive? How long will it last? are some of the other basic questions you should answer before making a purchase. In the process of fining answers to such questions, you'll eventually make an informed purchase!
