I cannot tell you how many times I purchased, or bought services by word of mouth of friend or family than a internet/tv/roadside advertisement. Were so inundated by ads, if I see an ad on TV or the internet at this point, and I know I'm not alone. Most of us assume whatever is being sold is shit/ a lie.
Absolutely. I kinda feel if they're spending money on advertising, that's money they're not spending on the product/customer. If I see a product that's being marketed everywhere, the customer is paying for that.
