Answer 1

Ads work best when you don’t know they are working.

Almost everyone says “don’t buy based on ads”. Almost everyone is wrong.

Quick. Think of a car insurance company.

I bet the one you thought is either 1) The one you already have or 2) The one that advertises the most in your area.

Ads keep the company name fresh in your mind. So that when you eventually go to need that service, you are likely to start with the freshest thought at top of mind.
