We are surrounded by advertisements which be found on the television, radio, newspapers, magazines, street hoardings, taxis, buses and through the post. Everything we purchase or watch is advertised. This is a technique used to persuade people to buy their products. Companies use the power of persuasion to lure their target audience into buying the product being promoted. Advertisements are used to make the audience believe they need the product being marketed. Some advertisements are more successful than others and I intend to investigate why, using two examples which promote skin cleansers one by Garnier and the other by Neutrogena.
The first advertisement I will anatomise is the Garnier. The

There is a good use of wordplay in the phrase "look there's nothing to see" it is asking you to look at the face of the girl to see if there are any flaws only when you do look you will find she has flawless skin and so could you. There is also a slight use of alliteration, 'deep down' this emphasises how deep the facial wash cleanses. The use of the word 'cleanses' instead of cleans is effective because it is thought cleans is more colloquial.
The text at the bottom of the page is very cleverly set out as it makes the most important words for example Cleanse, Rinse, Discover which would let your imagination decide the meaning, if you did not want to read the meaning stated in the advertisement . At the bottom of the page is the full name Laboratoires Garnier with the words formulated and controlled by… as the slogan. With Laboratoires meaning laboratory it put the idea of science across which is never really questioned and so gives the audience the assurance of quality and results when using the product. In a sense the name also helps sell the product but in a different way because where as something from Este lauder would be sold because its brand name is well known, Laboratoires Garnier would be sold because it is a beneficial
Neutrogena products in the United Kingdom should support their campaign on the usage of anti-aging products, and this should let them change their design on the product’s package to meet the demands from their consumers. As time goes on the demand from the consumers change and so do their competitors. This means that the personal selling should have in place a way of getting data from wholesalers, consumers, and the retailers. This makes the personal selling a connection of agents that can make their way around every avenue as soon as the original market develops into a success.
Unfortunately, advertising is sending our country into a quick downward spiral, doing an immense amount of harm and little good. Companies pay millions of dollars each year, in hopes to successfully pull the wool over our eyes and get their product sold. The dishonesty is leaving the citizens of this country with nothing to gain. The biggest problem with advertising is that the majority of it is alarmingly misleading. Advertisements convey an unrealistic view of a particular product. Companies go to extraordinary lengths to persuade consumers to indulge in unnecessary luxuries. Once again, the consumer falls victim to their tricks and
In our society today a business is not a business without an advertisement. These advertisements advertise what American’s want and desire in their lives. According to Jack Solomon in his essay, “Master’s of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising,” Jack Solomon claims: “Because ours is a highly diverse, pluralistic society, various advertisements may say different things depending on their intended audiences, but in every case they say something about America, about the status of our hopes, fears, desires, and beliefs”(Solomon). Advertisers continue to promote the American dream of what a women’s body should look like. They advertise their products in hopes for consumers to buy them, so they can look like the models pictures in the ads. Behind these ads, advertisers tend to picture flawless unrealistic woman with the help of Photoshop. In our society today to look like a model is an American dream and can be the reasons why we fantasizes and buy these products being advertised. “America’s consumer economy runs on desire, and advertising stokes the engines by transforming common objects;signs of all things that Americans covet most”(Solomon).
Thesis statement: When compared side-by-side, there are differences in the two. Some of these include that the Lexus ad uses predominantly the logos, or logical, appeal whereas the second uses pathos, the emotional appeal, the target audiences for both commercials, and the effectiveness of each.
The Old Spice body washes commercial” The Man Your Man could smell like” was aired during the 2010 Super Bowl. In the beginning of the commercial, Old Spice man located in the bathroom and standing in a towel, bare-chested. Old spice man said “Hello ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to old spice, he could smell like he’s me.”(Old Spice). Old spice man asks his audience this question as he transitions from the bathroom, to the sailboat, and riding on a horse. The commercial ends with Old Spice man saying he’s on a horse. The camera zooms out and unveils to the audience that he was sitting on top of the horse. The
Every year, each brand is trying to come up with a new idea to advertise their products in commercials. My favorite one is from Pepsi, the soda company. I especially loved the ones in 1984 and 2004. Similarities between these two ads are the celebrity endorsement strategy and in each video, they included a song with a meaning that can affects people point of view.
This week I am on spring break and am loving that I am able to soak up some sun. I want to make my tan last and stay glowing for many weeks to come. Summer will be here before we know it. I figured I would share a few good products to get bronzed glowy skin.
In the project I created the website to format the information gather by Mayson and Tristan about the island. First I choose a free template to create a website in HTML editor, then started to format the website to fit the information and look nice. Next I found a picture to change the background of the website to a island that matched one similar to the one described in the book. After that, I added some lines and squares to the website to highlight the text in the home page and the other pages because of the multiple colors in the background. I set the opacity to small which allows the background to be seen well and the text to be bold enough to read. Now that the text is readable, I put the title and page bookmarks in and created the color and overlay of the text. After the formation of the website was complete, I added the pages, titled them, and added the layout to the page to get ready to put the information in. Once
The heading fonts could be better in places though, as they are too close to other items on the page and don’t stand out enough on the page.
Attitudes toward the American public are revealed in the primary sources, and it is clear that advertisers aim to appeal to certain qualities about the shallow person. Advertisers assume that many people will buy their products if they just appeal to the emotions. “They” know that Americans will go buy their products if they say the public needs an item for the ease of life or to make a good first impression. Advertisers quickly realized targeting women was the most effective way of selling their goods. Source 3 titled “Listerine Advertisement” is blatantly telling a woman not to fool herself if she thinks her breath is just fine. The picture depicts a man with another charming woman while the woman who didn’t use Listerine sits by herself
The advertisement I decided to evaluate was the Dove Soap Ad. The Dove Soap Ad is ineffective for three reasons: color and font, product confusion, and product identity. The color that were chosen for this ad were atrocious. The colors of the before and after pictures behind the women matched their skin tone, which matched the floor making the before and after pictures barely visible. The font that is large enough to read only confirms what you see in the picture, visible skin, not introducing the product. Which brings about product confusion because the product is illegible in the right hand corner. Is this lotion, soap, or shampoo? The small almost illegible print that does introduce the product, most consumers don't even take time to read.
I will be analyzing two advertisements, stating how effective they are likely to be in achieving their purpose and in selling a renter’s paradise. In my analysis I will include a list of persuasive techniques used in these advertisements. Undoubtedly, the purpose of an advertisement is a strong appeal to the readers. The purpose of the first advertisement; The Grove, apartments is to persuade the audience to experience the pleasurable and joys of living. It strongly reinforces the views through the content of the text and captures the interest of the audiences through multiple eye-catching pictures. When the reader first looks at the advertisement, it makes him or her feel how entertained and amusing this place can be in spite of the all
Mark Twain once said, “The finest clothing made is a person's own skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.” The five part series of the POND’s ‘Radiant white beauty’ advertisement features popular Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Neha Dhupia. The commercial portrays Karan (Khan) as preferring lighter skin woman (Dhupia) over dusky-skinned Ria (Chopra). The commercial begins with Karan breaking up with Ria. Why? Its because she is apparently not light skinned. After 3 years, despairing Ria sees Karan with a lighter skin Woman (Dhupia). This leads Ria to think that in order to win a man, she must have a lighter skin. Ria feels distressed with her skin tone and comes across the Pond’s radiant white beauty advertisement which features a cream that makes women’s skin white. As to much of the audience’s anticipation, Ria chooses to buy and use Pond’s white beauty to get lighter and allure her ex-boyfriend back. “Pond’s radiant white beauty gives you a radiant pinkish white glow, pale white or pinkish white, you choose”, says a lady in a comforting and persuading tone in the background. Later, the commercial shows a lighter skinned Ria from a dusky-skinned Ria. Finally, Karan sees Ria in the airport and chooses her and they get together.
A Comparison of Two Television Advertisements Television is the most important medium for advertising, and advertising is a vital component of traditional TV business models. It has always been difficult to assess the benefits of TV advertising as advertisers have traditionally had only a vague idea of who may have seen a particular advert and the actual impact on them. However, they can try and target an audience specifically e.g. time, channel of advert, etc. Most channels gain over 50% of their revenue from TV advertising firms. Without TV adverts, we probably wouldn’t buy half the products that are on show in shops.
Each respondent receives a questionnaire package that includes the questionnaire itself, a consent letter and a free gift (SK-II cosmetics samples). And each respondent is asked to fill the questionnaire there and then. All the numerical data from questionnaires are imported in SPSS 18.0, for frequencies, percentages and means.
