Would anyone on here say they were influenced by the adverts on the tele?
I guess they must make a difference otherwise companies wouldn't continue to plough millions into making them....but I only ever seem to be affected in a negative way. Have just seen that TripAdvisor ad with the 'booking' dog and it always makes me want to throw things at the tele!
Would anyone say they were affected in a more positive way? |

I guess I'm probably aware of certain companies from adverts and I suppose there's a chance I go to them when I'm looking for something.
I research things I want before I buy them and I don't recall ever buying anything because I've seen it on an advert.
I've bought music I've heard on adverts though. The latest example was Wings by Total Fusion, which is the track on the current Lloyds ad, (for a massive 79 pence!).
I'm not aware of advertising influencing me but that is part of the point of it, I think. I'm not generally easily suggestible which may protect me a bit. I don't know for sure though.
I'd like to think not but, as you say, if it didn't work, companies wouldn't do it. |

For many products it can be subliminal, making you feel comformatable with the product so its easy to make the decision to buy, in some cases not noticing the link, Supermarkets are a mind field of product placement based on advertising
I do try to avoid them but I do appreciate a good ad and actively verbally hate the ones I dont
Mr Wolf in direct line was cool but it went on too long, but then they did 'get the fudge out of rodge" and redeemed themselves
Agree with book and booking.com
My current pet hate is EE and there WiFi calls, it's a lighthouse where is he getting his WiFi from, if he has WiFi he has Skype and other means he isn't cut off,
But then you remember the ones you don't too,

"I've bought music I've heard on adverts though"
Agree with this, loved 'little boxes' off the O2 ads but after some digging discovered it was written by a man and the only released version I found he sang it, Wasn't the same |

Odd that Zingy orange poop ad, companies spend millions trying to develop a brand icon like that,
EDF hit the nail on the head but completely failed to follow it up with supporting merchandise, people where taking to knitting them and selling them on eBay, but EDF just never capitalised on it at all, odd behavour the brand icon could have been everywhere |
