My wife does. But she's a sucker for "a good deal"

I dont ever click on them myself, but if I start searching for something I need/want, and I see a brand I'm familiar with thru advertising, I'm more likely to explore their product, at least. Simply just because, "of I've heard of this before"

Brand recognition is one of the key goals for running ads, it works.

But these are never real deals are they? At least I saw maaaaaaany bullshit fake deals, cant remember anything legit ever..

I also found my mum buying crap of instagram a while ago, but i kinda got to her to be a bit more mindful what she clicks on.
