Personally people pay for a name when it comes to clothes and items, I only buy sony electronics because of the sony name and warrenty. There are no cheap brands made by sony. Panasonic make the crazy clarks electronics. Most other food I get from the markets and just about anything else I get from neways purely becuase its my business and everything is completly toxic free, but then again they work out to be roughly the same price as most “cheaper” brands.
An interesting point about the double “they.” There may be a connection between the extra “they” and the overall question in general. That is, the mind generally only reads, purveys, and views only what it needs to in order to come to a conclusion. For example, the wlrs and the hppptms r gd frnds brings about a thought that is very concrete, with or without the vowels. Without giving an example, the human mind is able to perceive a word literally, even if the letters are mixed up. You may wonder what in the world this has to do with advertising. The specific imagery is irrelevant to the advertising agency. Its only goal is to create a perceived need based on multiple factors, i. e. peer pressure, community norms, concrete needs that are complementary (not complimentary) and unmet needs, in line with both Maslow and Pavlov (yes the guy with the training of dogs,) Those who fall for this trap believe that they are making their own choices, when, in fact, they are closer to Pavlov’s subject material than Maslow’s. The only ones even close to experiencing self-actualization in the marketing plan scheme, and indirectly the economic plan, are the manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and advertising agencies that are all part for the dumbing down of our best minds. Save your $ for future use, because in so doing, you will be able to have some of your true needs met that are not based on an industry that uses subliminals to impact your mind. We could be justified in calling it another form of hypnosis. No, don’t fall for advertising “hyp”, in other words, just say “no”, “sis.” (and bro.) Also, keep in mind that all expenses are eventually passed on to the customer, including the advertising.
I prefer to buy what I find works or tastes best. However, some things just don’t come close to the real deal. For example, I buy Heinz ketchup because I like the taste, and a no name brand doesn’t come close. Unless it’s Co-op Gold brand. That I will buy (if I shop at a Co-op). I WILL NOT buy any sliced cheeses that are no name brand because they use too much whey and casin in them and the flavour is just not the same a good ‘ol Kraft Singles.
No name yogurts taste the same as the brand names, so we buy those. And we buy house brand cereals (which are sooooo cheap compared to brand names).
When it comes to clothing, I usually find that a higher price doesn’t necessarily mean better quality, but sometimes it does. For example, I WILL NOT buy jeans at Zellers (a local Canadian store, similar to Wal-Mart), but I will buy skirts there. I refuse to purchase skirts at stores like Pennington’s (a plus-size women’s store) or Addition-Elle (again, plus-sized), unless they’re on sale. Cleo is my absolute favourite clothing store, because although their prices are quite a bit higher than Wal-mart or Zellers, they are nowhere near name brand prices, but the quality is fabulous! I have clothing from there that I’ve had for five years and it’s still going strong!
I buy my shoes where ever I get them for a reasonable price (I have a shoe fetish), and although Manolo Blahniks are fantastic, I would never spend that much money for shoes!
Is it snob appeal? Perhaps. Perhaps it’s simply that they can afford such things. I’m not really sure. Personally I fail to see what the hype about name brands is at all. I suppose it’s all in a name.
