Are there some businesses that don't do any advertising?

Are there any businesses that you know of, that does little to no advertising and still gets a ton of sales or activity? I liken it to how cigarettes these days no longer put out ads, and yet they still sell like crazy. And I feel like a company like McDonalds would never need to advertise again, as they already get sales out of the wazoo.

But are there any businesses that don't advertise at all, or does minimal advertising and still gets by just fine?

Advertising is more popular a,mong big businesses, smaller businesses cannot afford to advertise and even if they advertise they cannot compete with big businesses, so they will be burning their advertising budget. Most small businesses are operated without advertising.

One soda company in the southeast USA doesn't market that much. It is RC cola and it's lessened marketing which makes it very cheap to buy at gas stations. Well, for some strange reason, I've seen it priced higher in grocery stores.
