A great deal of money is spend on advertising anyway and clearly this approach is just taking a small slice of that budget and creatively directing it to another avenue where the opportunity exists to appeal to the customers' emotional need. The basic human emotions of love, vanity, and fear has led successful advertisers to open the wallets of customers time and time again. As long as there is a chance that a customer can benefit by understanding the "what's in it for me", the appeal to their hearts and minds is already established. While the customer may not always pay attention to the ads the effect from getting paid is already begun.
