Originally posted by xoggoth View PostI only know that from a friend obviously. Not that I have any.
Dating ads are a middle ground and most dating sites can provide suitably family friendly adverts to be acceptable to most sites. Friends tell me these type of adverts rarely work compared to advertising on proper adult sites so some companies have given up on the idea.

1) they know you were interested in buying that good and for many items the time between window shopping (first look) and final purchase is 2-4 weeks.
2) even if you have bought the item, the adverts put their shop back in your mind for the next time you want something they sell.
Many marketeers believe that all advertising no matter how annoying works so I can't see this type of feedback loop marketing ever disappearing. If you don't believe just watch a go compare advert.Last edited by eek; 16 September 2011, 12:38.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
