Huh, this company is spending a lot of money on marketing. Guess I’ll buy from a company doing less marketing so I’ll get it cheaper.
Or that is so good, they don’t need anything more than word of mouth. And I mean real word of mouth, not the fake influencer shilling that relies on parasocial relationships “word of mouth”
I exclusively buy from brands that are engrained in folk lore. Unless it’s literally the stuff of legends, you won’t see a penny from me
I have noticed every YouTube sponsor, with no exception so far, is 1. A scam. 2. Overpriced.
The 3rd option, “product of the creator,” can actually be ok sometimes. It just depends on if the creator is the type to scam people.
Nothing feels worse than seeing ads for shit you’ve already got, too. That’s when you know you’ve fucked up
yeah, the best time to advertise at me about a thing is while I’m researching thing to buy.
Advertising at me after I bought the thing is useless, I already bought it!
It does have a purpose. I found the name of it once, but it’s basically choice confirmation. When you buy something and then shortly after see lots of ads of other people who bought the same thing and are really happy with it/it appears popular, it confirms to you that you made the right choice and should make it again if given the chance. This kind of “confirmation after the fact” advertising is especially used in larger purchases like a car. It reinforces the choice you made in your mind so you feel more satisfied with the brand itself.
