This is interesting. Alcohol companies a well known to bypass this prohibition by all possible means (product placement, influencers,...) and yet I find real benefits in it. It would possibly be similar if advertising was forbidden for everything
- vjk800 2y agoThey probably do some sort of promotion targeted to the retailers. I don't know and don't really even care. All I know is that I don't see any beer ads on TV, outside, or anywhere else really, and I wouldn't mind if the same was true for everything.
- sdeframond 2y agoYep. Same goes for drugs in France. Advertising to the general pumicbis forbidden but you still find ads in press targeted to GPs. Still, I believe we are better off like this than if those ads were allowed everywhere.
