Buffalo Bill's Advertising For The Wild West Show

Hi my name is Leonard Theodor Sasseen I was apart of a famous Wild West show known as the Buffalo Bills. I am know for doing various tricks on stunt horses We traveled across the world doing tricks for many people. We started the show in May 19 1883 in Omaha Nebraska. So today I am going to tell you how the buffalo bills became famous.

The westward expansion of American citizens was a progressive action that helped the nation to move forward during the mid-eighteen hundreds. The land that was being claimed came to be known as the frontier and few people settled there due to the perceived threat of Indians and what they thought was a lack of economic opportunity. This land was taken over by farmers and herders that controlled buffalo and used the fertile soil to make a living. The story of “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West: Celebrity, Memory, and Popular History” shows how a man can start with nothing and grow to be a publicly recognized figure. The author of this story, Joy S. Kasson, recounts Buffalo Bill’s life and the decisions he made along the way along with how the actions he took affected the events around him. This story, that takes a biographic approach, tells of Buffalo Bill’s influence in society as a showman and in the perceived image of the wild west during this time.

     The Wild West's great success began on nostalgia for the passing frontier that swept the nation in the late 1800's. However, Buffalo Bill never looked backward. Towards the end of his life, a famous quote of his was 'All my interests are still with the west- the modern west';.

How did the Wild West shows of Buffalo Bill Cody and others shape the popular image of the American West?

The program that I viewed was Kids Junior Chopped on Food Network. It is considered to be American reality based cooking television game show that has junior kids competing for an end prize. In the short little breaks that are given for commercials to be shown, there was over 6 different commercials and they all happened one right after the other. I have never been really fully conscious as to how quick and short commercials really are, but after viewing this 30 minute show it was brought to my attention that commercials can’t be too long because they need to be able to hold your attention and in the short span of time it needs to be something that will catch a viewer’s eye. Although, often times there are commercials that we just want to end

The phenomenal success of the Wild West was founded on a nostalgia for the passing frontier which swept the nation in the late 19th Century. But Buffalo Bill himself never looked backward. "All my interests are still with the west - the modern west," he wrote near the end of his life.

Jim Fowles’ Advertising’s fifteen basic appeals , Fowles writes about how ads has many ways to appeal to the consumer. Actually according to Fowles there’s fifteen basic appeals to be exact. When Fowles writes “something primary and primitive, an emotional appeal, that in effect is the thin line edge of the wedge, trying to find it’s way into our minds.” In other words, Fowles is saying how advertisement works . The point that Fowles is making is important because something that has been around for years has made a major impact to society. The consumers have “unfulfilled urges and motives swirling in the bottom half of our minds.” This shows why Fowles is correct , it displays how advertisements have an emotional appeal to the

Buffalo Bill’s cowboy characters were a personified version of what the American public regarded as a moral pillar, when in reality, the cowboys mainly did ranch work and

First, Buffalo Bill had always been use to riding on horseback. Ever since he was young he had always liked to race with them. Also his dream job, was looking for people who had experience with riders, which had already put him at an advantage. According to the article, "The firm undertaking the enterprise  had been busy for some time picking the best ponies to be had for money, and the lightest, most wiry and most experienced riders." With this job you also had to be fast so you could make a bigger profit and since he was already use to going fast on horseback, that put him into the higher paid category.

The comparison of the two Doritos ads comes from 1970’s Card Shark commercial and the 2010 Super Bowl commercial showing a little boy telling her moms date not to touch momma or his Doritos. Both commercial show a conflict that happens between the main players in the ads. The main comparison that you see is the race of the actors. As I reviewed the 1970’s ads I could not find any that were racially equal with the cast members.

In a more recent example is the infamous Willie Horton ad. In 1988 Republican presidential candidate George H.W. Bush found himself trailing in the polls compared to his opponent. Therefore, in order to energize his dispirited followers Bush deployed the famous Willie Horton ad. The ad introduces Willie Horton, a black convicted murderer who was allowed to leave prison as part of a weekend furlough program. However, during this time Horton failed to return and instead robbed and assaulted a white coupled and raped the man’s fiancée. The campaigns goal with the ad was to create fear among whites especially the fact that white women were being sexually assaulted by a black man. It also linked being soft on crime with race, as the face invariably

On January 10, 1917, Buffalo Bill passed away (“Buffalo Bill Cody”). He was buried on Lookout Mountain in Colorado, overlooking Denver and the plains (“A Brief History”). Although Buffalo Bill himself was gone his legacy lives on. He was the creator of the common myth of “The Old West,” with its bandits, indians, and cowboys, like we see in Hollywood movies today (“Buffalo Bill Cody”). Buffalo Bill also was equal to people like cowboys, giving them the respect and dignity that others did not (“A Brief History”). Buffalo Bill was a remarkable man who, through Wild West shows, changed our ideas of the “Wild West,” our ideas of fun, and the name

Many hunters like William Cody traveled to the U.S. to participate in this sport. William Cody aka Buffalo Bill was considered the greatest buffalo hunter around this time. Hunting buffalo for sport was another main reason the buffalo population went from 50 million to less than 1,000 by 1895. In one of William’s competitions he bet 500 dollars he could kill more buffalo than his opponent in 8 hours. William won killing 69 buffaloes while his opponent had only killed 46. The role of government in this instance had a huge blow on the buffalo. While the government did nothing but to encourage the sport of buffalo hunting, technology advances like the gun made killing a herd of buffalo fairly easy compared to the native americans who relied on spears.

WOOSTER — With unemployment continuing to remain low in Wayne County, officials are putting the finishing touches on a marketing campaign to attract workers here.

Fortunately, I received my favorite sport to watch as my topic for the advertisements - wrestling. My target audience for both my print and video ads would be to possible student athletes coming to Garner-Hayfield-Ventura High School for the wrestling program. The technique used in the two advertisements would be considered “Humor/Innuendo.” The way I presented this specific technique was by creating a slogan that could be comprehended in two ways. The slogan, “We like to be on top,” could either refer to a wrestler pinning his opponent by being in the top position, or a wrestler at the top of the podium at state wrestling. I decided to use this technique because it supports the uniqueness of wrestling. This slogan supports the wrestling program’s efforts to be “on top,” to either get a win or be on the podium. The technique mainly used during the video advertisement is “Transfer.” I used this technique by
