Funny advertisers CBM, last week they had a really good advert in 'Radio Times'
(Britains Biggest Selling Magazine) for CDTV. It was stylish, exciting and
was a double spread in a prominent part of the paper. This is all well and good,
but WHY DON'T THEY KEEP IT UP? One advert on its own, one week is not good
enough, you need to repeatedly bash it into peoples heads, until they are so
excited, they just have to go out and buy one :-) Single adverts surely don't
get this kind of response, maybe CBM UK could give us an idea of response
to this advert?
