Original question by @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works

Marketing is supposed to increase demand for a product or service but it doesn’t always work that way. What do you use less or even stopped using because of the company’s marketing?

    Any of those door to door window sales companies. Really anyone that comes to my door unsolicited.

    They’re never going to be worth the interaction.

      I never give anything to people who come to the door. Not money, not personal details, nothing. If their spiel is completely convincing I can always go and find their company or charity and engage with them on my own terms.

      Likewise Facebook. Never, ever, ever buy anything from a company that advertises on Facebook.
