Yes.

Case in point: Price LeBlanc. Bought spots by the trainload on anything moving. Sold an equivalent tonnage of cars.

I barely hear or see ads since I never watch or listen to anything that is live. You need to get on that and reduce the annoyances in your life.

Agree, TR.

Been watching recently re: the weather. I just noticed the constant repetitive ads.

In TV, pricing is based on frequency. The more ads the less dollars per spot.

Politicals ads succeed by claiming the "other side" is up to no good, which irritates the faithful.

I would say any quality that stands out from the crowd (including irritating people) sell products. Look at the Shamwow guy and the guy with $ signs all over his suits in those old infomercials.

The esteemed Matthew Lesko, assuming we're talking about question marks, not dollar signs.

Infomercial products are priced at cost or below cost to get the name in your head. They make the real money when it hits the stores at twice the price.
