Question 4

 

Imagine now that you are an ad consultant at a Norwegian ice cream company. The CEO really wants to raise sales through ads and asks you about your opinion. You notice that sales are down quite a bit in the Winter period in which the company also has never advertised. You bring this up as a potential opportunity to increase sales via ads. The CEO answers that this makes no sense, no one advertises for ice cream in the winter ever, and ice cream sales are always down.
