Advertising And The Emotional Response Of Advertising

AT&T’s “Close to Home” commercial effectively develops pathos through consumers using children. The company uses sentimental moments to give the audience a warm feeling inside and stir up their emotions. The commercial shows the children and how they are affected by a simple texting and driving accident. The child can be killed or left without their families. AT&T states, “No text is worth it.” Aaker, the professor of Marketing Strategy at the University of California, states “Wells, Leavitt, and McConville (1971) include adjectives from their study such as gentle (also in Aaker and Bruzzone's warmth factor), tender, soothing, serene, and lovely in the factor they term ‘sensuousness.’ Schlinger (1979) found an ‘empathy’ factor associated with commercials involving affectionate couples, warm relationships, mother-child interactions, attractive products, vacation settings, or appealing characters such as Pillsbury's ‘soft and cuddly’ doughboy.” Children make the advertisements relatable and cause the audience to feel empathetic. Children bring out general emotions and help persuade consumers to buy their products.

One of the most successful marketers is quoted in the article “Get kids to nag their parents and nag them well”(260). In the initial few sections, he discussed the present time effects of the advertising on youngsters. Through this he contend that, previously, there weren't numerous child based marketing organizations that concentrated exclusively with respect to children and have their own kids' divisions, while now, they have huge amounts of organizations that makes a whole advertising division for the

Magazines are popular in the United States; they can be found in stores, offices, and houses. They are popular for advertising. Television, news, radio, billboards and online websites are just a few forms of media that companies use to advertise their products or services. Companies use advertisements to influence the consumer to either buy or use their products and services. Advertisements are used to manipulate consumers in many ways.

We see advertisement everywhere from left right. Ads are seen on devices and while just driving around. Advertisements are used to get people to purchase a product. Got milk “was an American campaign encouraging the consumption of cow’s milk, which was created by the advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners.” Got milk ads have many inspirational celebrities to model their company. Such as famous singers, dancers, athletes, actors, talk show host, and models. I’m analyzing a got milk ad of Hayden Panettiere from 2007. The ad’s strategy is to show how each celebrity drinks milk. The ad plays an audience towards teens, both boys and girls by offering them to choose a healthy lifestyle. By choosing a healthy lifestyle, teens

In order for advertisers to gain consumers of their products, the advertisers know they have to use certain strategies to reach out to all the different ages. Children today consume vast majorities of media spending up to 44.5 hours or more per week watching television, on the

Children are easily influenced, and this can be taken advantage of in the commercial industry. Thy have the desire to fit in and do what is considered “cool”. Many people believe that people use this desire to their own benefit in order to create profit. While it’s true children are easily manipulated by commercials, these commercials and be beneficial to the child's development. Commercials can be used to bring good ideas and good life skills to children that will lead them to being a successful adults. Commercials aimed at children are ethical because they can reinforce positive behaviors and good ideals. This is shown through articles, press and reports.

In a 65-year span, an average American spends around nine years watching television including 975 days of watching just commercials that is two million ads altogether. Parent are wondering what most of those commercials are regarding too? They are mostly businesses that are targeting kids to eat fast food or influence their parents to buy a product like a toy. Parents think that they can just turn off the T.V.? Yes, folks are correct they can shut down the T.V., but there are way more advertisements than just commercials so many that it is hard for even ad savvy parents to keep it away from their children. Marketers will try anything to get the kid to buy their products, or they will put a logo on everything that they can. How do they target

Companies are continuously in search of innovative marketing techniques by encouragingly establishing individuals to purchase their advertised products. As intelligent as marketing companies are, they are indeed aware of the fact that adults are more likely to watch an advertisement and detect why they should or should not purchase such product. In such instances where the company cannot reach the focus of an adult, parent, or parental figure, marketers will target young children and teens in their advertising campaigns. Advertising campaigns targeting the youth have significantly impacted the ethical consideration in the children’s market through media, ethics, as well as food advertising to children.

The food industry uses emotionally charged language. Taco bell in their newest commercial shows a chip being dunked in a bowl of nacho cheese and they uses adjectives such as warm and cheesy. They use these emotionally charged words to make you crave their product. Their idea behind this is to make customers want their product enough to leave their house and get it. Arby’s does the exact same with their advertising. In their latest commercial they debuted the new smoked Italian Porchetta. They use heavy words such as mouth watering, tasty, and smoked over a hot grill. The food industry also calculates when they are going to show their advertisements, such as time of night and day. There is more than meets the

One of the reasons that Americans suffer from affluenza more than consumers in other countries is because of the advertising in America. Businesses, marketers, and advertisers have discovered that colonizing the imagination of the child is the most effective way of securing a life-long conspicuous consumer. Between 1980 and 1997, the amount spent on children's advertising in America zoomed from $100 million to $1.5 billion a year. American children watch up to 200 television commercials per day. The average 12-year-old in America spends 48 hours a week watching television

According to iSpot, the advertisement is commonly shown during television shows that you would expect to be shows that parents or families watch together, such as Modern Family, Roseanne, and news programs (“General Mills TV Spot”). The company shows the ad at this time because they know that it will be one of the most common times for parents to be watching television. The audience is pulled in by witty remarks from the children right away, and when parents realize how the company has recently made changes to their products that make them safer for their children to eat, they will be more likely to want to purchase General Mills for their families. The parents are targeted directly when the advertisement appeals to the real humor of the real children, making the advertisement relatable to the families watching. General Mills most likely chose families as their target audience due to the fact that they are reintroducing their brand to fit in with the health fads of the now.

This brings me onto the next subject, appeals. Appeals are relating the audience with the product with a story and emotions. The positioning of the advertisements has to be put in spots where they will appeal to a certain audience. 40-50 year old males, teenagers etc. The can be a change from ugly to beautiful miraculously which would appeal to teenagers because at their age they are self-conscious. Statistics are also used to appeal to the audience. If the public hears statistics they are instantly drawn in. A perfect example of appealing to an audience is the notorious Nescafe advertisement. This consists of a man and woman who meet each other over a cup of Nescafe. There is emotion involved and this draws the audience in. There is a sequence of ads in this story and the audience is drawn in so much that when there is the nest sequence they are practically glued to the television to know how it ends. In thee and they get married, Of course every advertisement includes a cup of Nescafe but that’s what it’s there for

Different strategies are used in all advertisements. Every aspect of the advertisement is strategically planned to appeal to the audience. For example, an advertisement that does a great job of using sex appeal to reach its audience is “Carl’s Jr all natural burger”. This ad appeared during the super bowl forty-nine, and it was a big hit. The ad features ,22-year-old model buxom, Charlotte McKinney. Throughout the video it shows her walking through the town and appearing as if she is nude. She gets all the attention from the guys in the town as she saunters past. in one scene there’s a man reaching for a tomato as she walks by, she turns around and gives him a flirty look and it emerges as if he is grasping her gluteus. At the end she appears in a bikini nearly nude “I love going all natural,” she purrs, opening wide to take a bite out of a big, juicy, “all natural” hamburger. Advertising appeals aim to influence the way consumers view themselves and how buying certain products can prove to be beneficial for them.

Marketing and advertising play a major role in the promotion of companies and products in the United States. Consumers are constantly surrounded by advertisements by means of television and radio commercials, billboards, magazines, and even social media. But how exactly do companies appeal to their consumers? My topic explores the different strategies used to persuade everyday people to use a certain product or service. One of the biggest effective strategies used in advertising is by appealing to the audience’s emotions. I chose to analyze two different sources for my research. The first source is called Emotional Moneymaker: Why Advertisers Need to Appeal to Emotions, and it talks about emotion-based

There was a time when advertisement were made only to market and sell the products but now dramatic changes have taken place in this field (Shead and Dobson 01). Today companies not only want to sell their products but also aim to create emotional attachment with the customers for which they do emotional or subliminal advertising.
