The Effect of Advertisements and Commericals on Television

Magazines are popular in the United States; they can be found in stores, offices, and houses. They are popular for advertising. Television, news, radio, billboards and online websites are just a few forms of media that companies use to advertise their products or services. Companies use advertisements to influence the consumer to either buy or use their products and services. Advertisements are used to manipulate consumers in many ways.

Every day, companies present the people with advertisements everywhere they go. Advertisements have become very prevalent in today’s society nowadays focusing in on a negative connotation. Advertisement has become an effective way for producers to display their new products. In present day, they come in forms of billboards, flyers, e-mails, and even text messages. It is widely known that companies create advertisements to persuade people to buy specific products or goods; however, it is not widely known that advertisements can make a negative impact on today’s society. The companies manipulate people’s mind and emotions, swaying people by new promotions and therefore generating a strong desire to fit into the society, that causes them to make inessential expenditures. Advertisements pose a critical impact on the American culture.

GEICO has numerous strengths to enable its prominent position in the market. These strengths not only help it to protect the market share in existing markets but also help in penetrating new markets

Today, advertising is as much a part of our lives as breathing. Whether we’re driving, listening to the radio, or watching T.V we are constantly being bombarded by thousands of companies telling us why we should buy their products or services. Some advertisements prove to be effective, while others can be easily dismissed. One very popular industry in advertisement is auto insurance. Every year companies like Geico, State Farm, and All State invest millions of dollars, hoping to convince audiences that their service is better than their competitors. Because auto insurance is a requirement for every single individual who owns a vehicle it is a very competitive market where various ad campaigns can be found. State Farm stands out amongst

This shows that millions of people use Geico, which enhances their service reliability and their trustworthiness. Overall, this ad used all the rhetorical appeals to make the audience want to get their car insurance. I do feel like the ad could have used more logos by stating how much they can help save on average. All in all, this ad was very effective. If I had a car, I would get Geico car insurance.

GEICO’s advertisement located in Men’s Health November 2016 issue targets car owners through the use of several tactics such as segmented targeting, hooking the audience, and appealing to the audience while prying for consumers to make the simple choice; to chose GEICO over their competitors. GEICO is the second largest and one of the fastest growing private auto-insuring companies in the United States (GEICO, 2016). The target audience is reached through the imagery of a stack of cookies to correlate the greed and desire received from the food into the experience provided by insuring your car through GEICO. Additionally, GEICO strives to target customers through attempting to cater to their needs with the intended end goal of persuading them to choose GEICO over the “other guy”.

Each and every person that can drive qualifies for car insurance, therefore, qualified to become a GEICO customer. The commercial is made very appealing by the humor it uses to target a wide range of viewers (Creativity, 2014). GEICO makes a mistake by assuming that by using a scenario where Pinocchio is lying and his nose magically elongates will relate to saving 15% percent of the car insurance. The simple motto of the car insurance company is being able to save fifteen percent or even more on car insurance. This idea of saving fifteen percent was the only thing the insurance company tried to prove to its audience. The insurance company is reiterating it was a reality when it comes to saving money with GEICO (Creativity, 2014). No one dared to ask to Pinocchio, so why would even think to question GEICO. Since the commercial looks unrealistic, this showed that the company failed when it came up with these

Insurance plays an important role in our lives to provide financial protection when most necessary whether it be an accident, a catastrophic event, or even death. Most insurance owners are on the search to find the best company for their buck. Competing companies create advertisements to lure in these particular viewers. The two commercials being compared in this analysis are marketed by insurance companies with the purpose of increasing the number of members and improving sales. Both advertisers of each company have a common goal but use different methods in hopes of reaching the intended audience, which can either make or break the advertisement. The “Allstate: Good Life” commercial failed to address the importance of having insurance whereas

GEICO is not just car insurance, but they can be your friend. First of all I would like to start of this essay by telling you what my commercial is about. The commercial that I chose to write my paper on was a GEICO commercial. There are lots of

This commercial, in particular, is known for its comedic success. The ridiculous camel has become a viral sensation as it is now considered amusing to yell out “Hump Day” on a Wednesday. In fact, the commercial has over 16 million views on Youtube. Ultimately, Geico does a great job of exposing its overall message about achievement sense the build up to their trademark slogan is so appealing in itself. If 16 million people know about a camel yelling “hump day,” then 16 million people know about the time and money that can be saved by using Geico’s insurance.

A T.V set may be more dangerous than the kitchen stove because not all the programs are desirable, which most Americans own a T.V set. There are many television critics, which I have heard critics express negative opinions about most of the programs on television. The chief objections are that television has raised the crime rate among young people and has caused students test scores to go down, which we let these programs into our house every night. In addition, many parents believe there is too much sex and violence on the shows, when networks put these shows on early in the evening. Indeed, the majority of the shows are full of fighting and killing, when networks offer these programs night after night.

The Geico Gecko is an animated character created by Bill Plympon and voiced by Kelsey Grammer. When Geico made its first appearance in 1999 it was voted America’s favorite advertising icon in 2005. The animated Gecko character was created to help in the commercial advertisement of Geico products, a car insurance company in the United States (Quinn, 2011).

Marketing to children is not a new phenomenon; however, there have been many ethical debates on its rightness; is advertising to children a gentle persuasion of the innocent or a sinister threat to our society? There’s too much as stake if we remain silent and simply assume that marketing companies have our children’s best interests at heart; the truth is they don’t. This paper will explore to implications of marketing to children and the overall effects it has on our society. I will argue that advertising to children is a social problem. In the first part of my paper I will discuss why advertising to children is ethically wrong, I will then discuss what has changed; this will be followed by a discussion as to why it is a social problem and finally, I will conclude my paper by discussing what should be done to change it. Please note this paper is written in the first person as I have children and I have a vested interest in this topic.

Next, Geico’s marketing element of place needs to be reviewed. Geico originally started with marketing its insurance in Washington, D.C. where there was a large concentration of government employees. In 1964, Geico Insurance became publicly traded and expanded its insurance offerings. Now, Geico Insurance is offered in all states. Geico implements this element of the marketing mix with a direct channel of distribution. The product or service goes from Geico directly to the customer. This unique approach is used by Geico as most insurance companies in the industry use agents to sell their product.

Celebrity endorsement and sponsorship contribute to boost brand recognition. As for GEICO, they have uplifted the endorsement on multiple sporting events. For instance, “GEICO integrated advertising into the Nintendo Wii “Big Beach Sports” game that allows players to compete against each other in a variety of outdoor sports. GEICO ads appear in the form of banners positioned around beach areas and is seen at the start of the
