Re: Marketing - how many people DON\'T fall for simple tricks?
OP, I used to think like this, but you are probably affected by marketing more than you think. Some things are very subtle. Take brand marketing for example (I know your post was about more direct marketing). Where do you eat when you are traveling? Do you pull off the highway and grab something quick from <insert favorite national fast food chain here> or drop in on the corner grill which looks a little too spartan?

Re: Marketing - how many people DON\'T fall for simple tricks?
I was just using the food thing as an example because I used think marketing was useless on me, and then I realized some percentage of it is working on me, just as I suspect some percentage is working on OP. The thing is, when it works, you don't really even realize it.
Direct marketing doesn't expect to convert everyone, they just have to convert enough (usually single digit percentages) to make the marketing effort profitable. Another good one is movies. You see the 30 second trailer and it makes you laugh, so you end up at the theater. |
