Advertising has &#8220;communication goals&#8221; that need to be accomplished before any sales are made. Such communication goals vary, but can be such things as building trust, gaining exposure. I think of the continuum as: Exposure leads to Familiarity. Familiarity leads to Trust. Trust leads to Trial. Trial satisfaction leads to repeat purchase. People are more fearful of a loss more than a gain so exposure builds familiarity which can soften the fear of loss because the brand is &#8220;a player, trusted, other people must think it&#8217;s ok&#8221;. yada yada. &lt;/p&gt; </description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I disagree as well.
