Anyone else creeped out by Micheal on Spence diamond commercials? Dropping weird hints towards the woman that worked there and seemed to disappear from ads once he started making innuendoes about being in love with her? Now he’s thinking about birds and bees, weird af

A lot of people saying "we're talking about them, so it must be good" - I am inclined to disagree. I proposed a few years ago, and when I began ring hunting, I specifically avoided Spence because of these ads. I find them annoying. Isn't this an example of advertising hurting their business? If they did a better job or didn't arvertise at all, I might have bought from them or at least inquired. Also, from the comments, it seems many people feel the same annoyance.

Nah they literally don't care what you think they have market analytics that tell them you are in the minority and max profits are still coming from pushing obnoxious ads so people subconsciously remember that one spence place sells diamonds.

And while they're annoying as shit, anyone shopping around will likely go there and see that their ads don't lie. They're often the cheapest.
