A recent study showed that ads on sexy shows, like Sex in the City, underperformed ads on blander fare: <A HREF="http://www.neurosciencemarketing.com/blog/articles/sex-doesnt-sell.htm" REL="nofollow">Sex Doesn't Sell?</A>Neuromarketinghttp://www.neurosciencemarketing.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-69269668283880796782007-03-05T03:14:00.000+02:002007-03-05T03:14:00.000+02:00That bugs the hell out of me!!!Restyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03760816821869551043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-36696821996088138622007-03-04T21:51:00.000+02:002007-03-04T21:51:00.000+02:00You guys are raising some really good points.

I'm not generally inclined to buy a product if I enjoyed the commercial, but commercials like these do plant seeds in mind; I won't forget them and when looking for a particular product I'll remember the ad. When sex is used correctly, as in they were in these ads, I think it does tend to sell more. I think it also depends on the product. A girl gyrating with a burger in her hand isn't going to get me to buy said hamburger, I'm more likely repulsed.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06002810832669085885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-88642535023221983912007-03-04T21:18:00.000+02:002007-03-04T21:18:00.000+02:00I think sex sells because more people are talking about it than actually doing it.

On the plus side it attracts a lot of attention but on the negative they run the risk of alienating some conservative viewers - it all boils down to target markets I suppose, ie if you're not cool enough to appreciate our ad then don't buy our product.coachwww.cantcoachthat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376955.post-18514865674156312782007-03-04T00:59:00.000+02:002007-03-04T00:59:00.000+02:00SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC: The introductory sentence was inspired from <A HREF="http://www.johnchow.com/the-importance-of-deep-linking/" REL="nofollow">John's idea</A> although I think linking to the top-level domain creates a loophole for those who are already on the frontpage of the blog. In any case, if John says it's important, it's important! (Hehe.. he is like a one man institution!)ilkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07727535488053790383noreply@blogger.com
