How to use "Puffery" in context?
Puffery is often defined as over-the-top language and/or boasting in one's advertising or promotion. This term is often used pejoratively to describe overly promotional efforts that are not backed up by good judgement or merit. This can be a big problem in the world of advertising, where it can sap away at the credibility of a brand.
It's important to be wary of puffery when evaluating a product or service. If a company is trumpeting its product or service in an overly exaggerated manner, it may be due for a rehabilitation.
