Can an advertisement perform well simply because it makes people curious, even without explaining the product?

Some ads leave people wondering what the product is just to get them to click or learn more. That might work in getting attention, but does it actually bring in people who are interested in buying? I'm curious where businesses should draw the line between making an ad intriguing and giving customers enough information to know what they're getting into.
 
Creating curiosity can be a good way to catch people's attention, but the ad still needs to give them a reason to be interested in the actual product. Getting clicks means very little if visitors leave because they have no idea what the business is offering. A little mystery can work, especially for new product launches, but there should still be enough information to attract the right audience. The goal shouldn't just be to make people curious, but to turn that interest into something meaningful.

The results should also be measured beyond the number of clicks an ad receives. Businesses can check how long people stay on the landing page, whether they explore other products, and how many eventually make a purchase. Those numbers can help them figure out whether the campaign is attracting potential customers or just people who clicked out of curiosity.
 
Getting people curious is a good way to grab their attention, but the ad still needs to give them something worth exploring. Otherwise, they might click out of confusion rather than actual interest. I'd rather see an ad that makes people curious about what the product can offer than one that leaves them guessing what the business is even selling.
