the only product choice i made solely on the basis of advertising was my cell phone provider (cause the telus ads are just so gooood) and even then, i was already wanting to get a cell phone - the ad just pointed me towards one provider over the others.
I really doubt it. Every decision you make is influenced by everything that has happened in your life. It would be remarkable if anyone only made one choice based on the influence of ads. Think of when you reach for a bottle of shampoo, or a box of noodles-- why grab one brand and not the other? No one has cost benefit plans for all of these things.
I find I'm more drawn to the one I've seen ads for. It seems more solid, more high quality-- some of the time it is... some of the time it isn't ...
