An October 2009 study from comScore and Starcom reports that the number of Web visitors who click on Internet display ads has dropped 50% in the past 2 years. Another study done last year by MORI Research found that 20% of 14-32-year-olds surveyed trust print advertising, while only 6% trust online advertising. Eye-tracking software determined that users' eyes skipped over 37% of the Internet ads and stepped on less than one-third of the ads.

Alcohol advertisements were more common on billboards than transit shelters or bus benches, usually featured beer products, emphasized product quality, had a discreet or moderate (vs. blatant) visual impact, and rarely used human models. Outdoor advertisements on transit shelte...

The purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze how advertising affects search and college choice among the plethora of college choice influencers. The results of the research indicate that parents, older siblings, friends, career aspirations, personal funds, scholarships, institutional reputation, location, sports, high school counselors, and college visits are more persuasive than advertising. However, if the college or the university identifies a key consumer insight, then advertising has a greater effect on search and college choice.

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011.
