to spend a lot on advertising. If you don't, you advertise the hell out of

advertising. Like Geico. Tons of TV ads. Nascar cars. Drag racers @
$40,000 a run. If they want to drop the cost of their insurance, simply
cut
the ad costs. Allstate is beating them up pretty good now by just
advertising prices, and not going with all the hoopla. I'm just sick of
seeing the cavemen.

You do have a point. Advertising doesn't do anything. Sheesh^2.

No, it does work. Look what it did for FenFen and Hydroxycut. Dangerous
chemicals, and people were buying them like candy. What would the rates at
Geico REALLY be like if they didn't have dragsters making $40,000 runs, and
$200,000 cars being totaled? I'd say it would be less. That's my point.
