This is true. If I got a "$100 better than your best competitive offer" ad when I was car shopping, I would have clicked through. There was enough data on my phone to suggest this was the case.
But awareness advertising doesn't pay as well (yet?). The real money is getting people at the edge of making a purchase to make that purchase, whatever it may be. And the ability for the web (or any advertising, for that matter), is increasingly being called into question (or people are getting better at questioning such purchases).
