Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment
I’ve bought competitors out of spite.
Would you pay a higher price to do so?
Would you (or could you even afford to) pay twice the insurance premiums because Liberty or State Farm ads annoy you?
I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them
I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them
I’m sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor
Sometimes even if you buy from different place the owner of the companies are the same. Like if you ask offers for new windows in norther europe the three biggest companies are owned by same company.
