The hapless customer is daily bombarded with so many messages that he/she really does not know what to listen and what to switch off. This being so, the product marketing companies have to daily contend with this phenomenon. This research paper deals with this subject and will review how companies are dealing with this situation currently and their future challenges with the anticipated proliferation of electronic gadgets and the corresponding increase in noise levels! The idea of this research paper owes its origin and conceptualization to a few youngsters who were disturbed by electronic media bombardment.
