50% of the television ads you watch are produced for show, and not made to directly have people calling in to buy. They are shown for Branding. Implant their brand into your head so the next time you purchase a product like that one, it will be the one being in the tv advertising.

Television Advertising

Imagine a brave new world where buying some television time could appeal to different consumer needs by using one ad that is tweaked. Ads now can be magically changed to appeal to customers at the opposite end of the scale on command.

By changing voice-overs, scripts, graphic elements or other images, for instance, advertisers could make an ad appeal to teens in one instance and seniors in another. Tailoring commercials has emerged as a new goal in the ad industry, thanks to a plethora of media outlets and the increasing fragmentation of audiences." Many marketing executives agree that direct response marketing is the future wave of television advertising.
