Perfume Ad Analysis: Heat
Our entire lives, sex had been used to sell. It is only natural that we have a brain that responds to certain primal instincts. Perfume, fashion, makeup, and many other advertisement companies have created ads with sexual annotations. This now has become a social norm. These techniques have been used for over hundreds of years in advertising, so now our minds are pre-programmed to look at sexual imagery within advertisements. The more sexually provocative an ad is, the more people will be drawn to them. For example, in the perfume ad that features Beyonce, a famous singer, posing sexually in a provocative red satin dress with the word “HEAT” written above her head. This ad is trying to persuade people into buying the perfume known as Heat. By using a color scheme of mostly red and using Beyonce as the celebrity endorser of the product, helps this ad achieve pathos and logos.
In the Heat perfume ad, Beyonce is posing in a very seductive way. Beyoncé’s body language seems as she is staring into the camera trying to seduce the audience into buying the perfume. Her legs are slightly open wearing a revealing red silk dress that brings attention to her cleavage. The perfume is not big or clear in this ad because they want us to focus more on the Beyonce leaning next to it. The vibrant tones of red from her dress, background, and the perfume is a message of branding and sex appeal. Since the product name is Heat, knowing that we associate red with things

television advertisement companies, main intention is to captivate the audience in other to purchase their product that they are portraying. In this essay, I will be analyzing these two ads, “Whale” (Old Spice) and “Susan Glenn” (Axe). These ads are formulated to get their products noticed, along with sparking the interest of the other goods they may offer. Countless methods are used to convince the audience that’s being targeted to buy the product. Therefore, these ads are similar in its ability to gain the attention of their audiences by appealing to pathos. Through this essay I will analyze the rhetorical effects that help bring these commercials to life.
Advertisements come in various shapes, sizes, and mediums, and as humans, we are constantly surrounded by them. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that we can escape them. They all have their target audience for whom the advertisers have specifically designed the ad. When a company produces a commercial, their main objective is to get their product to sell. This is a multibillion-dollar industry and the advertisers study all the ways that they can attract their audience’s attention. The producers of advertisements have many tactics and strategies they use when producing an ad to get consumers to buy their product. These include things such as rhetorical
Everyone has heard the phrase “sex sells.” It seems to be a major factor that drives people to buy. Advertisers manipulate this behavior by creating ads that showcase their products as a way to gain love, beauty, and desirability. Advertisers frequently use sex appeal with flirtatious images as an attention grabbing device to play with the public’s emotions. Because the public is a diverse group of individuals, it is difficult to target the masses by focusing on hobbies, sports, or flaws. Because of this, advertisers target sexuality, something everyone can relate to. In the February, 2016 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, they overtly demonstrate this. In an ad for Kinky Vodka, they represent multiple sexual innuendoes such as provocative body posing, stereotypical feminine colors, and seductive wording.
Calvin Klein understands the fact that men will buy a cologne that will, not only make them smell “hot”, but make them feel like it too. They employ a windowed effect with this poster, by providing the image of a future that can only be achieved by using this product. By utilizing this ad, men will automatically associate the experience of using this
The advertisement, "Catch the Fever," featuring Beyonce Knowles, achieves its purpose to persuade viewers to purchase her signature fragrance through the use of rhetorical strategies. This ad targets a larger audience of women who look up to Beyonce and will want to buy any product she produces. Beyonce uses ethos, logos, and pathos in this ad. Beyonce uses ethos by including herself in the ad, logos by including the phrase “Catch The Fever”, and pathos with the warm colors included in the ad captures Beyonce’s sexy gaze that looks straight at the reader. All of these things are what make the ad work and persuades the audience to buy the product. . The purpose of this ad is to get women to buy the perfume and to ultimately get men to buy the perfume for their women. The purpose is also to convince women that if they buy this perfume they will able to be sexy and confident like Beyonce is. This ad also wants to convince men that if they buy this for their women, their woman will be sexy and confident like Beyonce is.
Advertisements have become a huge part of society in the modernized world of today. Around the world, many people can see all of the various advertisements not only on TVs and newspapers but also on billboards, buses, and walls of buildings. Advertising is an influential part of life and we can easily realize that it has useful purposes for public and private manufacturers and companies throughout the world. Advertisements can either give consumers a great amount of knowledge about the products or just convince them to buy and want the products. Advertisements also help sell the products which keep the economy growing, but people should also be aware of how much they spend because they may not actually need every product that they see that they want to purchase. In the Daisy by Marc Jacobs’s perfume advertisement, the artist uses many different techniques to emphasize the advertisement. Some of the different techniques that the artist uses are color, symbolism, and composition.
Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the advertiser’s study all the ways that they can attract the person’s attention. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products
Advertisers use many tactics to sell their product. They can all be grouped into Aristotle’s Rhetorical Triangle; which include ethos, pathos, and logos. Including a sense of credibility, facts and statistics, and reaching into the buyer’s emotion are all ways advertisers produce a persuasive argument in order to get more business. One of the most popular ways to persuade is using the portrayal of sex to do so. J.J. Boddewyn, a journalist, states “ads that are indecent, sexist, sexy, exhibit violence to woman or treat them as mere objects present a constant and even growing problem in many countries (par. 1).” An advertisement that can be applied here is for Godiva chocolate. This ad contains a model showing the chocolate in her hand, along with the word ‘GODIVA’ written largely, and some smaller words around it. Digging a little deeper, it’s not just any model, but a very attractive one. She is dressed in what looks to be sleepwear, and a cardigan draping off her shoulders. Not only that, her makeup is very dark around the eyes, making them look more sultry and seductive. The Godiva campaign uses sex appeal to sell their chocolate. Pathos can be seen by the provocative woman, which would attract more male buyers. Ethos is portrayed through the text in the ad and who the model is. There is a lack of logos or facts to support the argument.
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.
Advertisements are everywhere, combining images and words together to create a message to sell a product. The initial impression is that the advertisers are just trying to sell their products, but there often seems to be an underlying message. It is often heard that “sex sells.” So, many advertisers will use beautiful women and men in their advertisements to try to market a product. The hope is that “sex will sell,” and people will go out and buy what the ads are selling. There are many advertisements and commercials that use this approach. Prime examples of this are the advertisements for Orbit Gum and A Diamond is Forever. Also, the commercials for Levi jeans use sex to promote the sale of their brand. As a way to
The two above advertisements were generated for a makeup line formulate by musical artist Rihanna called Fenty (the Neutral Stimulus). This make up line is an all-inclusive line for various shades and is one of the few makeup lines that carries up to 40 different shades, that also vary in undertone colors. This line can cater to the needs of women everywhere who struggle with finding makeup that matches them. The advertisements leading up to its release gives a sense of excitement to those who felt left out by the makeup industry for either not carrying a light enough foundation shade or not dark enough shades (unconditioned stimulus). Also, by pairing the product with an iconic musical artist creates a sense of want of the product. Not only
Since similar standards for beauty have been created by advertisements have been around for so long, women do not know they have been manipulated and now accept them as true. Because of this, this advertisement’s portrayal of a “beautiful” woman is an effective strategy to convince women to buy the Be Delicious perfume.
