You are making the mistake of assuming that we are primarily thinking beings. In fact, our intelligence is just a thin veneer on top of a whole lotta animal. Advertising plays to our emotions, our insecurities, our greed, etc. It bypasses your intelligence entirely, and it's generally effective unless you consciously realize you're being handled.

There are all kinds of sales and marketing tactics, such as barrier sales and consistency leading that are simply empirically known to work.
