I agree it's a very good idea. This would also promote more local ads than big commercial ads.
At the end, I know they need to get money but ads don't serve any purpose. I mean I never buy product from ad, I have only things that suite what I have search 10 minute ago. Why putting ads for that? I already know the product and this will never push me to buy something.
- developer2 10y agoTry telling this to anyone in the ad marketing business. They'll claim their tactics are extremely effective. Regarding "I never buy product from ad", they'll tell you "yes you do, we're manipulating your subconscious and you don't even know it's working!". Really, they're mostly spinning a web of lies that keeps them employed. You won't find employment doing this for a living if you don't pretend like most of what you do really impacts everyone. I'm one of those people who will actively abandon products that market too heavily or with material that manipulates its consumers. I switched away from Dove soaps/shampoos back when they started their viral "Campaign for Real Beauty" shenanigans. Pretending you care about your customers' self-image problems... to market soap... turned me off.
- madeofpalk 10y agoThere's two types of advertisements - Direct Action marketing, where they want a very specific outcome out of the ad (to buy something), and 'brand advertisement' where they just want you to be aware of the ad. It's the difference between Coke & Budweiser, and Squarespace & Geico ads.
