As advertizers push harder and harder to get thier product shoved in our faces, I tend to find that the harder they shove the less I want it. Basically, I'm getting desensitiezed to push type ads.
An example is those X10 cameras, I won't even consider it because of the popup ads. They make it seem like a shady buisness. If you call, email, or come to my front door without me explicetly calling you, consider a customer gone forever. If you bill something to my credit card without telling me, consider you and everyone who you're associated with gone. (Chase credit cards for example, long story). If you badmouth your competitors without touting your own positive features in the same aspects, you're hiding something. If you do a FUD tactict, you're the one not worth taking the risk on.
In my opinion advertizers have begun yelling so loudly that we're deaf. They should try turning down the volume. The last ad that made me buy something was the "here's our product, here's the features, here's the price" style, not the "YOU MUST BUY! YOU NEED IT! OUR COMPETITORS SUCK!" style.
