In 1970, the average person saw approximately 500 advertisements per day. Today, this number has increased to 5,000 — yes, that’s right 5,000 — advertisements per day. That’s a lot of noise! No wonder consumers are so easy to distract and often don’t stay loyal to a specific brand — there are just too many options out there! These ads are seen online via social media, websites, and search engine results, as well as on TV, heard on the radio, and signage and billboard advertisements. Saying that you are inundated with ads each day is an understatement.
Also, the topic of these ads is as diverse as you can imagine. To prove just how many ads a person sees in a single day, Jordan, from “Good Mythical Morning” went on a spending excursion. He bought every single item he saw an advertisement for per day. How many items do you think he wound up purchasing? While he was lucky to have the “corporate credit card,” you can imagine this was an experience that added up rather quickly.
If your interest is piqued, you won’t be disappointed by the accompanying video. In fact, it is actual pretty interesting. While people see countless ads per day, most don’t pay attention to what they say or advertise. Here you have the opportunity to see just how many advertisements you actually encounter each day. It’s quite the eye-opening experience once you have gotten through the five-minute video. This is also something you don’t want to miss — it is a very good learning tool when it comes to the excess problem in the world.
Also, you get to here an “oldie but a goodie” as Jordan pays homage to a computer ad legend. If you are ready, sit back, relax and get ready to see what Jordan buys!
