When someone pays to advertise they know it is a "leaky" mechanism. It is understood (or should be) that not every person in the world will see that ad. It is also understood that not every person that sees the ad will buy the products advertised. That's the nature of advertising.

Why do they still advertise? Because of the people that do see the ad, some do buy the product.
