A Lot More Ads

Well I am not sure if other people out there are noticing the same thing that I am, but there are a lot more advertisements out there for vaping and vape products. I am an avid talk radio listener and this past week I feel like I hear at least two a day. It just seems like a large increase from even a couple of months ago. It must mean that attention is being paid, though, and that is certainly a good thing.

Is anyone else noticing an upswing in the advertisements?

 

Yeah, it's a direct result of more people buying pens. More pens = more demand for accessories, more demand for accessories = more continued customers = higher returns when paying to advertise. It's all math, it will just keep going up until the bubble pops.

 

I definitely have been witnessing the increase of talk. As more people are getting into it there's no doubt that talk will increase.
It surely is a good thing, brining a heap of attention.

 

Generally speaking, if you are hearing more advertising about a particular product, companies are trying to build brand awareness and other forms of propaganda pertaining to a product. You will see surges of advertising around new products or new brands. Advertising has little to do with demand although many of the techniques advertisers use are used to build desire which will in turn build demand. I have insulated myself from advertising for so long I literally have no idea what is being advertised nowadays. Its the only way I can keep my needs and wants...coming from me, and not someone trying to tell me a product. I use basic vapes, basic juice. Its a safer, cheaper alternative to smoking. And I use generic product, that way I am not paying for someone building a name for them and their company.

 

lol, that's the first time i've heard of brand awareness as propaganda. Advertising has a lot to do with demand, as competition for the eyes of the viewer is what creates a maximum amount of demand when you consider disposable income...

Has it ever occurred to you that sometimes a brand is the only way to get certain stuff or higher quality? It's just the name of the game. Good companies pay for adspace because it's worth the money.

 

I think the whole advertisement should focus on the environmental thing. Vaping doesn't "pollute" the air as badly as smoking. The air indoors, especially. There is no need for cutting more trees down in order to produce paper for cigarettes. Standing right next to you, a passive smoker won't be suffering from anything whatsoever.

 

There's definitely more and more adverts around at the moment than what there ever has been, but I'm just wondering if that will continue in the future?

On other threads in this forum, we've talked about the restrictions that are being put on vaping, and on how sometimes it feels that we're being treated actually worse than smokers, so are there going to be any restrictions on the advertising also?

 

I have definitely noticed it gaining popularity - I'm here because of that. Unfortunately, here in Croatia it isn't as widespread as I would like it to be.

Here's to hoping it will change, though, so we get more options and cheaper prices.

 

I've noticed more ads for it, and a ton of more businesses and products in the vape market. I think it's a great thing! The quality of products is improving and the entry level prices aren't rising. There are more options than ever. I think it will only continue to grow for awhile as people learn the benefits of vaping.

 

More adverts do tend to usually mean that more and more products are coming on to the market, and that can only be a good thing as far as vaping is concerned.

The more well known and popular it gets, the more people will start to at least give it a go as an alternative to smoking.

 

Well I am glad that everyone else is seeing this recent upswing in the advertisements as well, and I think that we are all right to assume that it means an increase in popularity and a rush of new items to the market, which is always an exciting thing to see. Hopefully that all means that prices will tend to come down a little bit too, and I know that everyone will be excited to see that.

 

The first advertising agency formed in America was formed by people who were first asked by the United States Government to develop weapons grade propaganda for the nation. After that job was done and they were left with the prospect of being unemployed they formed an agency using the techniques they developed for the government to help companies promote goods and services.

Anytime you see an advertisement, the techniques used to sway your opinion on that product were derived from techniques used to make weapons grade propaganda for the government.

Might want to remember that the next time you find yourself being swayed by an ad.

 

I'm not quite sure the point your trying to make as I'm sure we're all well aware of the techniques advertising agencies use to sway people towards a particular product.

In this case, if the product is better for you than smoking for example then I think it's a small price to pay.

 

Yeah I've noticed it too. What struck me most was that I never used to see them when I noticed vaping take off, but now that it's already established I can see a lot more advertisements. Perhaps I wasn't noticing them before, but it certainly seemed odd.

 

See, there's the problem. Just because it originated with that intention does not necessarily mean it is the source of efficacy. I don't watch television whatsoever except when I'm passing by one. I use adblocks. I have also made most of my money from advertising. Marketing is just the process of moving products from one place to the other, and advertising has to capture attention to be effective. Yes, there are ad sharks. Yes, there are mom & pop businesses trying to make an honest buck. If you cannot see that, I am fully certain you have no legitimate experience in the industry. You are so obsessed with the root source of advertising that you do not understand there are people advertising guitar strings because that's what they do to earn a living, and all they have is a brand name and reviews. Please do not go telling people you understand advertising if you have never actually seen the people that benefit from it.

 

I've certainly noticed a good deal more advertising. Though, I've also seen a lot of people coming forward and saying that e-cigarettes are just the worst thing for your health. A part of me wonders if the advertising is a way to combat the ill-effects of all the naysayers.

 

There have definitely been some vaping adverts on UK tele for some time now. I believe it was Vype or someone that sells cheap ones for around 20 quid or so. Anything to get people of cigarettes should be promoted in my opinion.

 

Is there anyone who hates when something gets overly advertised? For example, the YouTube "official spam". I personally strongly dislike when somebody is trying to get me convinced that way. That's just stupid as hell. Advertisers should take notes on that and don't repeat the mistakes of others.

 

I have most definitely seen and heard a lot of noise about vaping. I see more and more smoke shops opening and tons of "vape supply" signs everywhere. Gas stations are selling the juices for great prices and are making this a huge statement. I wonder how much of an impact the increase of vaping has had on cigarettes sales over the past 5 years.

 

I must have my head stuck in the sand, or be listening to the wrong radio stations, but I really can't say I've noticed the increase in advertisements. However, anything that encourages people away from smoking has to be good. Good to that there is an increase generally, and I hope it will help others to make up their minds and give it a try. I think that brand recognition will help a lot. I know many people have concerns regarding cheap kits and what chemicals may be used. If some of the more trustworthy safer brands become better known, that is good news all round.
