"Recent empirical research into advertising effectiveness tends to confirm Schudson's suspicions: According to statistics published in the September 1992 issue of the /Journal of Advertising/, advertising produced an increase in sales in less than half of the cases studied; indeed, advertising had little or no effect on product sales in more than three-quarters of the cases studied."
