What about "to buy" and "to choose" is it necessary to put "to" before them? |
You can say: 'by encouraging customers to buy a particular brand or choose the services of a particular company'.
In the second case (choose) the 'to' is understood and not absolutely necessary. Normally, as you know, you encourage someone 'to' do something. Again, it is a question of style. I believe I chose 'to' twice, to aid the reader put emphasis in the right place. It was a long sentence, after all.
