How did it work? Advertising works only when you PAY them money to buy a service.
Merely talking about it means nothing.

Let me think of a few companies to get a quote from.

See how that works?

Oh, I can think of one that I wouldn't call too because I hate their commercials. See how that works?
Their goal for advertising is to put their name out there in a way that makes me consider going to them when I decide to shop around for insurance. Their advertising instead makes me not like their company enough to decide that I would never consider purchasing insurance from them and on top of that that I would talk to others about how much I dislike their ads. So yes, we are both here thinking of and talking about the company, but the end effect of the ad is that they are turning customers off and making some portion of them less likely to consider Geico for insurance. That is an advertising failure and they should fire their ad agency for it.62strat said:I quoted someone that said 'talking about it means nothing.'txags92 said:62strat said:this reminds me, I've been meaning to shop around for new insurance since my company raised their rates again.infinity ag said:toucan82 said:

Not sure what you are trying to say.
do you actually not realize that not everyone has the same opinion as you of said advertisement? Or are you just desperate for an argument?txags92 said:Their goal for advertising is to put their name out there in a way that makes me consider going to them when I decide to shop around for insurance.

It has nothing to do with thinking everybody has my same opinion. You appear to be making the claim that any discussion of Geico that results from their ad is a positive for the company and means the ad is effective. I am just pointing out that there are situations like this where just having people remember the name of the company in response to an ad is not always a positive for the company if some number of them remember the name with a negative association attached that makes them less likely to buy their products.62strat said:do you actually not realize that not everyone has the same opinion as you of said advertisement?

That's probably a good thing; I think taking your kids to Burger King is grounds for a visit from CPS in some states.The Porkchop Express said:
Advertising doesn't work. My kids sing the Burger King song every time it's on TV, but neither has ever been to Burger King.
Or a political commercial during the world series that my young children are watching that talks about abortion, rape, incest, prison sex changes for trans people, overdosing, fentanyl, and the occasional erectile dysfunction.Funky Winkerbean said:

Especially when it convinces you to ditch an ad agency that can't come up with an original idea and instead recycles a two decade old ad campaign.vin1041 said:

I'd say the fact that Geico is teetering on having the 2nd largest market share would tend to indicate you are still wrong.Quote:
ETA: The fact that the OP has 25 stars agreeing with him suggesting Geico ditch the ads without a similar number defending the ad would tend to indicate that the negative opinions outnumber the positive fairly significantly.
What does the company's market share as of 2023 have to do with how people view an ad campaign running on TV in 2024? I never said they were going to go out of business for running it, I said the ad campaign wasn't effective if it was generating negative opinions about the company. That may never actually end up making a meaningful dent in their market share, but if it isn't making a meaningful improvement in their market share either, then why are they spending millions of dollars running the ads in the first place?62strat said:I'd say the fact that Geico is teetering on having the 2nd largest market share would tend to indicate you are still wrong.Quote:

I remember those commercials when I was in College Station. I had never eaten at Quiznos before and after seeing the commercials, I refused to give them a try.

You forgot the one about sex changes for children in the military. That one is laughably absurd.62strat said:Or a political commercial during the world series that my young children are watching that talks about abortion, rape, incest, prison sex changes for trans people, overdosing, fentanyl, and the occasional erectile dysfunction.Funky Winkerbean said:

All of these things are easy to explain when the 8 year olds asks what they are.
