There is nothing easier to ignore than someone sitting on the other side of the room, stating clearly in there loudest body language, "I'm ignoring you. I SAID, I'M IGNORING YOU!"
If you want to change things, you need to have a clear voice. Instead of boycotts, how about an investment company set up with the purpose of changing some other company's policies stated in its charter? Your stockholders invest money in you, and you, in turn, invest money in the company you would like to change. If there are many people that agree with you, your investment company could end up owning a sizable chunk of stock: sizable enough that your goals matter to them. If they make money, you make money, and your influence grows.
It's easier to change the direction of a large moving vehicle from the driver's seat than it is to divert it by attacking it.
