They influence the decision to buy as well as the decision not to buy. There is a reason it is a multi-billion dollar industry, the answer can only be 'yes'.

Have you seen a Billy Mays infomerciaal I rest my case

My answer can only be "NO", unless it's something I need and am just waiting for a great deal.

Personally i feel they make you aware of a product and yes maybe provide some weight when comparing prices. but that's about it.

I mute the TV adds or switch channels, I also block adds aggressively in my browser, but I do look at the fliers for the deals.

Affect, sure. Dictate, no.

No amount of advertising will *ever* persuade me to eat Spam. ;)
