A "special" cuddle

My cuddles rock

I know some of you will be like "But seriously, it makes no difference!" buuuuuuuut advertising campaigns that get people to talk and what not *are* affective at drawing in higher sales!

You may be strong willed people or just plain don't like chocolate, but other people won't be so and will nom it more, knowingly or not! To be honest, saying that you're not swayed is probably a wee bit crazy because, unfortunately, I think all of us are sometimes made curious about a product by an ad and buy it

I would like to think I have the ability to steer away from this persuasion but I know I don't!

Another way to look at it too is that it makes it a homely product. A known product on the shelf. Like... if you were to buy some... I dunno... bathroom cleaner, you're more likely to go for Mr Muscle than a product you've never seen advertised

When I was at Uni all I was interested in was either making adverts or film trailers. I've forgotten all the mumbo jumbo details that I once could reel off on ads, but statistically speaking, when good advertising campaigns were released (good/bad - the ones people seemed to remember), there would be a significant rise in sales on the product

If they had no affect at all on whether we will buy a product or not, we wouldn't have these barrage of adverts between our favourite films/proggys on toovd would we ?!

So IMO... brilliant ad

Adverts do work though I've never denied it. Good adverts though

I suppose it's all subjective but to me it's a bad advert. I must admit I have been swayed by adverts, but in all honesty it's always been because it's drawn my attention to something that I didn't know about.

Mind you I have stopped buying quite a lot of products due to advertising, so maybe I'm just not normal (yeah you already knew that

).
