Here's the thing: the couple seems just a little
too happy and confident that whatever this 'second opinion' will be is just what they want to hear - so my question is, since they have ESP and already know Scotiabank will kick so much ass why have they been banking with Bank X for so long when they could already have been prospering and enjoying life and being richer than they think? Are they financial martyrs?
If Scotiabank didn't want to come off as so sanctimonious they might consider a more realistic approach to their ads.
"Ouch. That was a tough meeting. Our finances are really taking a hit. These are hard times. What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know, baby. We'll think of something."
"Well, I know I'm not ready to give up. Let's at least try to explore all of our options. Maybe a different bank can offer us products and services more suitable to our needs?"
"Maybe..."
"Well, look - there's a Scotiabnk. Let's check it out!"
"Are they really going to be any better than what we're already getting?"
"Only one way to find out. Worth a try anyway."
"Well... okay, baby."
Scotiabank. We're worth a try, anyway.
I mean I understand there are complex dynamics to advertising and it's probably not wise to plant the seed that your products may not be the be-all and end-all, but for the sake of not annoying the living crap out of me 137 times during a hockey game... please!
Please, Scotiabank. I will come and open a mid-level chequing account if you promise to take your stupid ads off the air FOREVER.
