All I am saying is that you are more influenced by them then you think. Everybody thinks they are smart enough not to be swayed by commercials, but sure as shit when commercials hit the TV, sales go up. They don’t count on stupid people alone for sales. All they have to do is plant the seed. For example, if your willing to be honest, when I say “faucet” what is the first company that comes to mind?[/quote]

Moen. “But it for looks. Buy it for life” AHHHH they DO have me!!

Yes, that would be branding advertising.

The commercials you see asking you to call an 800 number at the end (or whatever) are examples of direct-response advertising.

Though, I think commercials mainly serve as a means for product recognition and are not necessarily meant to be a plea to buy their stuff. Many commercials are just portraying some feel-good or fear based propaganda to trigger an emotional response.
