The Super Bowl is a sporting event that is famous for producing funny and well-known advertisements. During the 2016 Super Bowl, Taco Bell released a successful ad for a new food item. This product is known as the “Quesolupa” with its key feature being a unique cheese filled shell. In the ad itself, it is first expressed that cheese put inside a taco shell is a pretty big deal, in fact it is “bigger” than just about everything. To express this, a series of clips follow the initial claim showing just how big of a deal it really is. Some examples claim that this product from Taco Bell is going to be a bigger deal than virtual reality, drones, or just the Internet as a whole. Due to the large number of people of different demographics that watch …show more content…
Because of this, the route of persuasion used is peripheral. This is apparent in the fact that very little is said about the actual product itself, other than the fact that there is “cheese in the shell”. Instead of spending time trying to captivate an audience with specifics about the item and the restaurant, they make use of classical conditioning and are able to use the commercial to create positive associations with the product with elements such as high quality production, humor, and the use of easily recognizable people and …show more content…
This implied view is another reasons this commercial works so well. The idea behind the advertising used here is once again not to tell the viewer what to do, but instead, to create positive associations with the company and the product being sold.
Taco Bell likely had a great deal of success with this campaign. By having a funny commercial that the target demographic could relate to, people will be influenced by what they saw even if they don’t know it, which in the end, is a sign of persuasion being used
When it comes to the topic of commercials, most of us readily agree that commercials are irritating. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the purpose of the commercial. Whereas some are convinced that commercials are meaningless, others maintain that commercials tell a story. Effective commercials are repetitive and illustrate a story. Marketers use rhetoric marketing, the art of persuasive speaking and writing, when persuading an audience to buy a product. Rhetoric marketing is especially effective through the illustration of a story. It is effective because the marketer is able to relate to the consumer with a story or message. Advertisers also use the appeals of logic, credibility, and emotions to intrigue interest in a company. Coca-Cola’s advertisement, “Falling,” depicts the product as a confidence building companion suitable for young love through a series of logical and emotional appeals that visibly promotes the brand’s credibility.
All around the world in one way or the other, everyone tries to sell an idea or an actual thing. Everyone is always trying to convince each other by using different techniques to sell an idea or a thing. In order to sell and persuade an idea or thing, people have to tell it to an audience by using advertising and rhetorical strategies. Rhetoric is to transform and change a person’s perspective and truly convince them of something. An efficient way that marketers convince through rhetorical strategies is through advertising. A market that uses advertising a lot are beauty commercials like the Dove’s Real Beauty “film” commercial.
The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza.
When we see a commercial on our T.V. screens today, we always see in print or hear the narrator telling us that their product or the service they are promoting to us is one of the best of its kind. They use all types of appeals and techniques to reel us in, making whatever they are trying to sell to us either pretty, shiny, worth-buying, or they use bold simple states telling us things such as, “Once you get it, you won’t be able to live without it.” By using these statements and methods of gaining viewers, the ad or commercial gains what it truly aspired for; attention and the need and/or desire to buy the product. In the ad “Bounty Big Spills” the bold statement and exaggerated visuals are created to
The use of effective persuasion techniques will not only the marketing and sales personnel to make more sales and meet the targets but also enable them to have an edge over the competitive environment. So of the techniques used in the commercial video from state farm insurance company on one hand show an effective means of communicating to convince the audience while on the other hand, the video is too complex to comprehend for an a normal and uneducated citizen. Here are some of the effective persuasion techniques that have been used in the commercial to reach out and convince their target audience to use and stick to the company’s insurance services. Moreover, these techniques are aimed at making the incumbent customers to become more loyal to State Farm insurance. According to Petty, Richard and Cacioppo (1984), there are two routes effective persuasion no matter the kind of media used to deliver the message to the audience. First, one can persuade effectively by building a central argument(s) in the message. Secondly, the persuader can effectively deliver the message to his or her target audience by trying to appeal to the audience by associating the message with what they can accept favorably. Usually, the favorable peripheral cues in the message lures the
Advertisements are everywhere. From billboards, to magazines, to newspapers, flyers and TV commercials, chances are that you won’t go a day without observing some sort of ad. In most cases, companies use these ads as persuasive tools, deploying rhetorical appeals—logos, pathos, and ethos—to move their audiences to think or act in a certain way. The two magazine ads featured here, both endorsing Pedigree products, serve as excellent examples of how these modes of persuasion are strategically used.
Persuasive techniques are used to grab the audience’s, to establish credibility and trust, to stimulate desire for the product to motivate us to buy, vote, give money. The Hungry Jacks advertisement uses bribery to help sell their product, while the McDonald’s advertisement uses the buzzword ‘new’. The key persuasive techniques that Hungry Jack uses are frozen coke only a $1,Free whooper, The Outlaw menu and the Hungry Jacks logo to attach people attention. The Mc Donald’s advertisement uses It’s a brand new burger”, Tasty Aussie lamb, All new Pattie and Only $4.95.

The main purpose of commercials and advertisements is to persuade the viewer to purchase the product that is advertised, but not all commercials are successful in this endeavor. Companies, such as Budweiser and Kleenex, appeal to the viewers’ ethos, logos, and pathos in order to influence them to buy the advertised product(s). In order to appeal to each of the categories, companies use different tactics to catch viewers’ attention. The use of ethos, logos, and pathos can make or break an advertisement based on how it is being used.
In order for a company to successfully advertise their product, they must create an advertisement that contains effective devices that persuade their audience to purchase their product. Taco Bell, a well-known fast food Mexican restaurant, did so in their commercial that advertises their returning item, the Rolled Chicken Tacos. Throughout the commercial, Taco Bell targets multiple audiences such as fast food consumers and parents who feel overwhelmed. Targeting fast food consumers is a given, but Taco Bell targets parents by setting up a scenario. In summary, two couples run into each other at the park, and the guy who is eating the rolled chicken tacos is forced to choose between eating the tacos or holding the other couples baby.
Over the last few decades, American culture has been forever changed by the huge amount of advertisement the people are subjected to. Advertising has become such an integral part of society, many people will choose whether or not they want to buy a product based only on their familiarity with it rather than the product’s price or effectiveness. Do to that fact, companies must provide the very best and most convincing advertisements as possible. Those companies have, in fact, done

In order to attract a specific demographic, advertisement companies employ diverse methods of persuasion. Corporations such as Wendy’s hire advertisement agencies for their expertise in how to attract target audiences to their products.

Wendy’s is trying to entice the 16-40 age demographic of Americans.
