I walk to the store, I check what’s there, I ask an employee for help, then make my own decision. If it’s shit, I don’t get it again and tell who I know to avoid it. I don’t get products that people I trust have had bas experiences with.
Advertisements are lying. Every dollar spent on marketing is a dollar that could have been spent either improving your product or paying your staff. If you advertise to me, I will actively avoid your product.
You walk to what store? How do you know the store exists? How do you know what the store sells? What if you live in a small town that doesn’t have a store that sells the required thing? How do you know where to drive to to? All this basic information about the store itself is coming from advertising. It’s not just about popups annoying you online.
When I moved to my current town, the first thing I did was figure out where all the grocery stores, the post office, and the library are. Do you really rely on advertising to tell you what to do? You can just see grocery store and say, “Yes, they probably sell cheese” and then go in?

Ok, what store do you go to in your town for specialized tools to fix your car?
It sounds like you’re considering the sign above a store to be an advertisement.
…yes?
It is. Why do you think store logos aren’t just a plain text sign on the door? That would be far cheaper for the store to do.
