If companies wanted to help lower cost of living advertise less.

Here in straya companies like the energy company, energy Australia havjng a long winded tv ad as on alternative energy with a Fleetwood Mac ding backing in the ad, how much licensing for the song.

The two major supermarkets, cokes and Woolworths advertising heavily at least two ads at every ad break.

If they were genuine to help lower tho cost of the product, advertise less, they already have massive market share.

They won’t really lose out dollar wise.

Come on big business cut advertising and pass on the savings.

Though advertising it’s a tax deduction, so they don’t lose out anyway way.

Inflation, aka the cost of living increase, is solely caused by governments printing money and dumping it into the economy.

As for your example, advertising increases sales which in turn increases profit for the company that buys ads. Your example would cut sales and cut profit from the fewer sales they would continue to make.

If advertising ever stopped being profitable, all ads would immediately stop.

I do not know about Australia but in the states advertising is a tax deduction. So you advertise to get your name/agenda before the public or end up paying the government... Simple choice

Coles supermarkets have this big campaign pushing pride week. There are no products such as grocery items, so instead of pushing this agenda pass on the savings to consumers

Agreed though i larf when cornflakes, are half price to 5.99. Though reality the half price cuts is already greater than the cost price.

It’s all a ripoff, sure I understand they have overheads, though.

Sounds like, Coles supermarket advertised their entire store, tied it to something controversial yet gaining acceptance, and because of this you are thinking of their store.

That is exactly the desired reaction they paid for.

Are you talking about like cable television?

What's the name of the cable company in Australia?

I don't even have cable anymore. Mostly old people in the US have it. I watch Pluto TV on my TV with unlimited wifi direct hotspot through my phone. It's supposed to only be 4GB of hotspot data but I have an app that bypasses it.

If you can watch unlimited on your phone, why does hotspot only have a few gigs unless you pay them extra. Even with $20 more, it's not unlimited but watching it on your phone would be. It's the same amount of data.

It’s free to air tv. I can’t justify streaming free to air.

I just used them as an example Woolworths are just as heavy an advertiser.

I usually shop at Aldi.

As the poster admitted, he now shops at Aldis. I'm sure that losing customers was not their desired reaction.

Go woke, go broke.
