Marketing ploys and its effect on us

I’ve watched Lindsay Wagner for years selling Fords on TV. For this she gets paid in the neighborhood of 2 million plus a year. I do believe that if her contract allowed it and Chevy offered her 10 million a year, all other things being equal, that she’d make the switch…What is her effect on us? Do we say I always was interested in a Ford and this attractive lady pushed me over the line?
How does this work? I can see Jordan selling athletic equipment to kids but adults???

And if skeleton had his druthers would he post one thread instead of two?

I bet so.

It’s one thread now anyway.

Chief Scott and Tuba Diva…maybe I had more ethanol than I thought I imbibed but both your comments above went over my head. What are you talking about? Not a wise-assed question…a sincere one.
