At least in my case, one of the boys was saying it so plainly, as if he was already over it. But these kids are still figuratively pissing their pants about the John Cena meme so it might just take a little while to catch on.

AlphaKretin posted:The current I've been victim to stuff like telemarketing and door-to-door salesmen, and work like that thrives on people just being too polite to turn them away. It's just awkward if you say no, and you can feel like a jerk, especially if it's a good cause. I don't think it's as successful over the phone, because it's far easier to bullshit an excuse to cut them off, but it's certainly still got some pull.

AlphaKretin posted:The current The worst job I ever had was calling up people for an electricity/gas company. The project I was on was calling customers who had just left to see if we could win them back with a better offer. The amount of times I heard something along the lines of "I was a customer for fifteen years, never once got a better deal when I called you, and now you call me?" was as high as you'd expect, but about once or twice an hour I'd get someone to sign a contract for a year. Considering I was making minimum wage at 20 years old, that must have been really profitable for the company and I was a terrible salesperson. Some of my colleagues got twice to three times as many sales.

It's just awkward if you say no, and you can feel like a jerk, especially if it's a good cause. I bought magazines from a hot girl who came to my door. I was 23 and awkward. I generally buy overpriced popcorn from Boy Scouts, if only because I had to sell Entertainer coupon books door-to-door back when I wore the uniform and I know how much that loving sucks.

I changed from Comcast to Verizon because door to door salesperson had a better deal. Better than what I was getting over the phone or online from Verizon. It's pretty awesome.

AgentF posted:People need to realise that just because we're talking about it doesn't mean that the advertising has "worked". I think the measure of success of the advertising campaign isn't actually the amount of attention it receives, but rather a resultant increase in sales of the product. This is a super common mistake for advertising professionals to make. It doesn't help that awards and competitions for ads between agencies revolve around factors like artistry, flash and style, talkability, etc that only pressure agencies and professionals to conform more towards getting attention versus increased sales.

Banner ads and imbedded ads in Facebook have worked on me now that I think about it, but only for slightly obscure companies. I got some really cute but practical swim bikinis by following an add for a new yoga wear company. I don't know why department stores can't get their poo poo together to make sexy bathing suits that are simple, actually stay in place when you swim, and are flattering. I have been happy with my lingere purchases from True Co which was recommended by Facebook because a friend liked it. They happen to carry sizes for small fit women that don't look like training bras! Also when I've been looking into certain art techniques a few companies have gotten my patronage for the weirdly specific supplies they have because of the tailored ads that start popping up while I'm searching. But that poo poo doesn't really work for Amazon or other companies. They're trying to get me to buy stuff I don't know I want yet, and therefore don't really want. The other adds happened to fill a gap of things I wanted but didn't know where to get.

I haven't had strong opinions about System of a Down for like 13 years now, and yet I was weirdly upset that their song Pogo came up briefly in a Super Bowl ad for The Secret Life of Pets. does that make me a subservient shill for the ad agencies and their sinister machinations? please advise

Honestly the only time I remember a company's ad is when I thought it was stupid or offensive. If anything that makes me less likely to purchase it. Just because it's memorable or gets a lot of attention doesn't mean it works.

I'm always amused that an Iggy Pop song advertises cruise ships. I guess it's alright. Iggy knows how to have a good time.
