Does advertising sway you?

It worked on me only yesterday, I was going to buy a few cases of Beer, watching the Euros I noticed an advert, fancied it & bought a few cases of the advertised brand, so yes it worked with me. 

You also have to factor in the amount a manufacturer will pay for advertising a product ,an example being a few weeks ago Pedigree spent £6 million on a 6 week campaign advertising dog treats , if they can spend that amount then the product is overpriced, and if they dropped the price then maybe more people would by the product 

So it's not the pet shops profiteering that makes those high prices for dog treats then?

Agree fully husky , they also think they can show a half naked man and we will buy whatever they are selling , and do they really believe by showing half naked females we and the men rush out to buy .....I don't think we do find the way they advertise is sometimes insulting our intelligence, 

Yes of course it does, sometimes even if you don't realise it. An idea is planted. Then when you decide what you want to buy is it truely a rational decision. I am not talking about the big ticket items here, which we tend to research, but the small, every day, low cost items that we don't give a lot of thought to.

Not in the least, I can honestly say

Subliminal advertising has a lot to answer for. . . .I think

If an ISP offered an advert free computer service even at £20/month I would willingly get it as adverts just get on my

I wouldn't use Moneysupermarket if it was the last company on earth although we once bought a 'Nightfire Red' Rover.  

Cillit Bang, anyone....?

and the client is gone.
