    If the manufacturer/retailer were to reduce the frequency of the advertisements then perhaps more people would take more notice rather than ignore or turn off, current examples include the same mind numbing, appealing to the the lowest common denominator crowd after every 6 balls at the cricket.

    Whatever became of the clever humorous advertising eg the old AAMI commercials?

    Surely some advertising “guru” (I use the term loosely) would have twigged by now that mind numbing, moronic advertisements on high rotation do more harm than good when trying to flog an idea/product or service and, in many cases making what they are flogging the least desirable and encouraging people to look elsewhere for similar/same.

    Just a thought.
    coke is like the biggest selling drink on the planet... it also spends the most on advertising. Most people don't see a whole bunch of coke billboards and go hmmm i'm sick of seeing that same red bottle I'm going to get a pepsi.




    do you have AAMI insurance?

    Have you looked at the title on the shellac page?
