If you're selling a known product and a known brand, you can be more entertaining. Conveying actual information in an effective way is more of a challenge.

Unfamiliar product, unfamiliar name, customers may not have a need right now but need to know who to call when they need it...

Yeah, brilliant advertising.

Not the most entertaining ad to just watch, but I'm sure it's highly effective.

Also were thrilled with it; it generated tons of new business and “got people singing their song in the shower.”

And I enjoyed watching the singers’ expressions (doesn’t take much to entertain me) as well as their gorgeous voices.

I'm not picturing the Farner's Dog spots. I've probably seen them because they run pet Xara ads on The Food Network all day & night. And I watch TFN a LOT!
I'll keep my eyes open for them.
