Is there such a thing as unnecessary book marketing material?

I had a discussion with someone who stated that some marketing material is unnecessary as they won't make a difference ini book sales. I 100% disagree and believe that every piece of marketing material is needed and it isn't just about having the marketing material but how you use it. Is it just me or do you agree with this individual.
