The following was used as part of an internet advertising company's appeal to businesses: Furniture Depot employed our internet advertising company to help. Since then its sales increased by 10% over last year's totals. Furniture Depot's success demonstrates how using our internet services can increase your profitability.
The author of this appeal argues that a company called Furniture Depot has increased its sales
due to employing an internet advertising company to help. Using advertising internet services
can indeed increase the profitability of a company, but in this case the author has based his
conclusion on assumptions that clearly cannot be stated as warranted.
To begin with, the author states that Furniture Depot had an increase in annual sales by 10
percent. While this may be true, it is wrong to conclude that using the services of an internet
company is the only reason for progress. Maybe Furniture Depot has improved the quality of its
products or added several new locations to the franchise, which then led to an increase in
sales. If these assumptions would prove to be true, the argument could easily fall apart.
Furthermore, the author is talking about this years totals. What is valid for t year does not have
to be applicable for the next one. The conclusion about Furniture Depos success is based on
the assumption that what was true in the past must also be true in the present or future. But it is
very likely that the company will suffer a loss next year or have the same sale total as this year.
We just do not know what is going to happen. Thus, it is wrong to conclude that Furniture Depot
will continue to flourish thanks to advertising.
Finally, the author of this appeal to businesses is using vague langue in an attempt to sound
more convincing. We only know that Furniture Depot has increased the annual sale total by 10
percent, but we do not know the exact numbers. For example, if the company has sold 10
pieces of furniture one year and 11 pieces in the following year, that would represent an
increase of 10 percent, but in reality that is just one more piece of furniture. Also, the term
increased profitability does not have much sence without listing the numbers that would show
the profit change.
This argument is rife with holes and assumptions. The line of thought should be strengthened
by using exact numbers and providing more details about Furniture Depots sales. Also, it would
be helpful to mention another example of a client that has increased annual sales since using
the services of the internet advertising company.
