    I often wonder how ads of any kind have ever worked, unless it was an ad for something we had already planned on buying.

      Repetition brings familiarity and familiarity leads to trust for the vast majority of humans. It is the reason that campaign signs works, why brand names are so valuable, and why popularity tends to increase exponentially when it works.

      Most ads are just intended to get you to remember the thing they are selling.
