It's a strategy to get you familiar with the brand/product, so that, if you have to choose between products later, you'll favor the brand you already know (a common bias we all have). This will happen without you necessarily noticing it, because we're all blasted with numerous ads and there's no way to keep track of them all. permalink fedilink source parent
