To start with, when I saw the second ad, I can easily recognize the benefit the product offers compare to the first one. In the second ad, it named out the benefit in the upper page, which is The Timer Turn & Pill Alarm Watch, More convenient than any excuse. When I read this heading, I can know what unique feature that Timex offers that different from other watch makers. In the middle of the page it uses three scenarios to show the alarm feature of this watch. All three scenarios are very common in our everyday life. So when people read this ad, they may think about themselves in that situation. And when I saw this part of the ad, I know what message the advertiser what to convey when you buy this watch, you can avoid all those situations and this watch will keep you be on time for everything. When looking carefully, you will see there are some figures teach you how to set the alarm. In this way, people can easily understand how to use it. At the bottom of the page, there are a few sentences to further explain how to use the alarm system and also introduce two more features, which are sound and light flash. Also, this ad is advertised in People magazine, which is a general audience weekly magazine, focusing on
Advertisement is a form of communication intended to persuade consumers to purchase or to accept the ideas, products or services. Advertising persuasion strategy not only has logic, but also has a unique artistry that advertisers use to find many effective persuasions for various kinds of target markets.

We live in a fast paced society that is ruled by mass media. Every day we are bombarded by images of, perfect bodies, beautiful hair, flawless skin, and ageless faces that flash at us like a slide show. These ideas and images are embedded in our minds throughout our lives. Advertisements select audience openly and subliminally, and target them with their product. They allude to the fact that in order to be like the people in this advertisement you must use their product. This is not a new approach, nor is it unique to this generation, but never has it been as widely used as it is today. There is an old saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' and what better way to tell someone about a product

Advertising has experienced some major milestones since its beginnings, which are thought to date back to steel carvings made by the ancient Egyptians. Advertising has constantly had to adapt and change to suit new mediums and an increasingly savvy audience. For example, it can be observed from the Metlife advertisement “My Dad is a Lair” that a person cannot alter his or her destiny, however, he or she can do something in order to create a better one.

The 2015 Metlife advertisement, “My Dad is a Liar,” uses numerous rhetorical devices to create a deeper and more emotional appeal to sell the product of life insurance.

Americans take this great abundance of food for granted, which causes an increased craving for more. This is where the world of advertisement has been the strongest. One of the easiest ways to reach people is through their food; therefore, major food industries try to lure people in at all costs just to buy their products. The Fast food industry is the

They could have the exact same message, but considering their audience, they could make it more effective if they use a different strategy to market their product.

You can relate the way that the magazine producers choose their ads by when Steve Craig says that " program producers and schedulers must consider the target audience needs of their clients" (162). The types of advertisements are driven by the content of the magazine. Sports Illustrated provides a
