Advertising - Does it really work?We are deluged with advertisments everywhere we go, especially this time of the year. I'm curious to know if these ads really work?

Sure - I can think of much that I have bought solely because of a commercial, or infomercial. One I can think of are the Sonic toothbrushes.
Incidentally, at work, I am involved in a committee to evaluate our spending on advertising. We are discussing the effectiveness of our company's advertising strategies, for while we cannot directly account for much direct sales from our expenses in advertising, yet we all feel that our advertising has indirectly affected sales (sales grew 50% over the year). Yet, we feel we can still improve our advertising strategies.
Dear Bloke:
Oh yes indeed! Her Majesty has bought many, many things because of advertisements.
The most recent is an anti-aging cream with collagen made by Loreal Paris and modeled in the fashion magazines by 40-something knockout Andi McDowell. It -- and an airbrush -- works for her. It doesn't work for The Empress.
Today's newspaper has an advertisement in it about massages being great Christmas gifts. His Royal Heinie may be purchasing a gift certificate for one of those for his Queen.
Advertisements really work!
Very truly yours,
EB
