spudski Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Seriously...does anyone take notice of adverts these days? Surely if you want something you Google it or ask mates for recommendations. I cannot think of one time in my life where I've looked at an advert and wanted what it was advertising, unless it was say a hobby. Who looks at an advert for betting and thinks I'm gonna use them or start betting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who looks at an advert for betting and thinks I'm gonna use them or start betting? I work in advertising so would disagree. You mention unless it was a hobby, essentially advertising is only there to target people who would be interested. People may not immediately think I'm going to use them, but when thinking of betting companies now I'd say Mansion Bet. I wouldn't of said them a year ago. If i wanted to bet I'd consider them, and that's essentially the point of it, awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most annoying way of advertising. People get mad at them...and if you do take any notice of the name, you then associate it with a negative feeling. A couple of friends who run companies have turned down advertising in such ways when offered to. Reason being...' why would I want to advertise my company in a way that irritates so many people...'

Absolutely. But with pop ups I can almost guarentee that none of them brands that use them you'll actually know or heard of. Pop ups are so cheap, and the point of them are for cheap clicks. So that's why you'll only see them for awful online bingo companies for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caffeinated drinks cause untold misery to weak-willed, idiots who are unable to enjoy the odd can or two but who become addicted to quaffing dozens of the things each day to get their fix - staying up all night, fidgeting, talking gibberish. It's not their lack of self-control to blame, it's the evil folks who invent such beverages. Why would City wish to be associated with such an evil enterprise?

Nongazeuse Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 It's time to dump on-line gambling companies from football. They are insidious and I have never bought a City shirt since they stared being sponsored by gambling firms. Also irritating the amount of gambling adverts on Sky Sports. I am not against gambling per se and have the odd flutter on the Grand National and do the Lotto but all this on-line bingo and other apps just preys on gullible people.
