The Hard Sell: Advertising in America

Sobe products

Gecko car insurance

Axe & Tag body spray

Hanes underwear

Many different shampoo/hair products

Movie trailers

I occasionally buy Sobe drinks but not any of the other products listed. However, movie trailers get me. If a trailer seems cool to me, I always chat with my friends about them and see if they also want to go see the movie. Advertising in general does not affect my spending habits on myself. I buy what I need to buy and not much else. Products that are intensely advertise tend to be much more pricier and I am cheap. Advertising does get its name into peoples brain. As I walk through supermarkets, I always see products and remember what their ad was. 

From a different prospective, I do however buy gifts for other people taking into account advertisement. Sometimes I buy the masculine bath products for friends and such.
