I can honestly say I’ve never ever in my life bought something because I saw it on a TV commercial. NBA loves to shove Hyundai/Kia/Genesis down our throat, I truly wonder if there is even one person in the world who bought a Kia or Hyundai at least in part because how NBA games always mention it for advertising.
Idk, maybe just me but I’m always surprised that these big companies pay so much $$ for advertising to these TV networks and sports leagues as if the average American is going to buy their product because of it.
I feel like you are making the assumption that everyone behaves like you which is not the case.
Another thing I always find interesting is how the layman always feels like they know more than a company. As if these multi billion dollar companies don’t conduct research or have the smartest people in the world helping them make decisions. I am not saying companies are perfect or business ideas don’t fail but companies are typically not spending billions in something if it’s not working or not showing any benefit.
Do you realize that MANY “multi billion dollar companies” have made terrible decisions that have led to their bankruptcy? Even those “smartest people in the world” make horrific decisions sometimes.
You talk about spending billions on something that doesn’t work, I can show you TRILLIONS spent on stuff that hasn’t worked.
Don’t assume anything just because people who you think may be the “smartest people in the world” told you something or because some billion or trillion dollar company told you it. And no, I’m not saying you should listen to some random poster on a message board either. Do your own research.
