Commercials, commercials, commercials - if ya watch TV, you end up spending what feels like half the time watching commercials. Commercials trying to sell you everything under the sun, from auto insurance to sandwiches to feminine hygiene products.
Some are entertaining. Some are annoying. (Actually, a LOT of them are annoying.) All with the same message: buy, buy, buy.
Some try a fear tactic - you need our product, if you don't buy our product you'll be lacking something important, something you need. There's a lot of medication commercials of this stripe. Alarm systems, diet products, some car commercials too.
Others try a greed tactic - this product will make you happy/rich/sexy, buy buy buy it now. Vitamins products, body scent sprays, exercise equipment, etc.
Of course, one strategy that I personally find abhorrent is the negative ad tactic - trashing someone else's product in order to promote your own.
Bye bye, sandwich place of toasty subs.
