Tracker Tag Rhetorical Evidence

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.

Most advertisements aimed at teenagers are effective, but usually are not ethical. Most marketers have many ways of gathering information on teenagers spending habits and what is most important to teens. With this information they’re able to create advertisements that will appeal to most teens and create profit. Many people argue that some or most of these ads aren’t ethical because they will create a problem or insecurity and then give the solution to that problem in the form of their product.

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.

Many businesses and organization use the method of advertisement to sell their products. Ads enhance products and encourage the audience to buy its products. There are many strategies in which influence how successful an ad can sell its product. In this essay, I will be conducting a rhetoric analysis on a chip advertisement created by Popchips. This essay should identify the audience the ad is trying to reach; the message the ad delivers; and the three modes of persuasion (ethos, logos, and pathos) that are used in this ad. For reference, this ad can be found at the end of this essay.

In the ad we see the use of one of the three rhetorical appeals. Ethos or credibility is seen through the black colored words “OUR”, “INGREDIENTS”, “ARE”, and

The psychological appeal for the ad is Logos, an appeal to logic or reason, providing evidence facts and or statistics although the facts can be false. In the ad you hear a voice saying “no food lowers cholesterol more” and that is the “number one seeling plant sterol plant spread in Australia.” While hearing the narrator list off facts you see an animation that shows a diagram of how the spread works showing he butter forming a net and blocking off the cholesterol while a large stamp appears in the bottom corner of the screen reading “clinically proven” while the narrator emphasises reading that line so it stands out and sticks in your memory. Now next time when you are in the supermarket purchasing a spread you are attracted to that product

Every ad has an appeal type. In this assignment we were assigned to use the two ads that we had chosen for assignment two to determine their appeal. The first ad I chose was the Ultra Repair Cream by First Aid Beauty. The second ad I chose was Ultimate Miracle Worker by Philosophy. An appeal type “refers to the approach used to attract the attention of consumers and/or to influence their feelings toward the product, service, or cause” (Pitterson, 2015). There are a total of 5 different appeal types. They are Feature Appeal, Competitive Advantage appeal, Favorable Price appeal, News appeal, and Product/Service popularity appeal. Both of these ads I have chosen for this assignment feature a certain appeal type.

The next memorable ad in the campaign takes a different twist, because rather than promoting auto insurance, it promotes home insurance. In this scenario, a group of young men are sitting at home when a baseball suddenly breaks through the homeowner’s window. As his friends begin to freak out, the homeowner maintains the same relaxed attitude as the female from the previous example and recites the magic jingle. Seeing his friends in shock as an agent magically appears he encourages them to recite the jingle and make a request, which they follow by asking for a sandwich, a pretty girl, and a hot

The ability to do anything effectively is through knowledge of the different tools to do the task, and which tool would be most effective. Persuading an audience with an advertisement is no different. The goal of an advertisement is for viewers to purchase a product or learn about a subject. An advertisement is considered effective when the targeted audience is persuaded to take the action that the advertisement is suggesting. An advertisement by the Sandy Hook Promise, Evan, focuses on a boy in high school. The advertisement shows him exchanging messages on a desk with an unknown girl. Once he discovers who the girl is, someone enters the room they are in with a gun. The advertisement then goes on to show that the violent act should not have

Advertising is the marketing of an idea in ways that encourages and persuades audiences to take some sort of action. In most cases, the action would be to buy a product or service while other are simply to raise awareness. Whatever the case may be, money is poured into advertising every day. Marketing agencies try various ways to convince people to buy their products using different persuasion techniques. After first examining an advertisement, one could analyze how each detail in the ad was specifically designed to affect its audience in a way that convinces them that they need what is being advertised. One would also be able to notice the values and important aspects of a culture through its advertisements. For

This brings me onto the next subject, appeals. Appeals are relating the audience with the product with a story and emotions. The positioning of the advertisements has to be put in spots where they will appeal to a certain audience. 40-50 year old males, teenagers etc. The can be a change from ugly to beautiful miraculously which would appeal to teenagers because at their age they are self-conscious. Statistics are also used to appeal to the audience. If the public hears statistics they are instantly drawn in. A perfect example of appealing to an audience is the notorious Nescafe advertisement. This consists of a man and woman who meet each other over a cup of Nescafe. There is emotion involved and this draws the audience in. There is a sequence of ads in this story and the audience is drawn in so much that when there is the nest sequence they are practically glued to the television to know how it ends. In thee and they get married, Of course every advertisement includes a cup of Nescafe but that’s what it’s there for

The average person will watch approximately 2 million commercials throughout their lifetime. In this technologically driven environment, it’s the most effective method of appealing to an intended audience. However, there is a lot more to an advertisement than meets the eye. There are numerous methods being used in order to appeal to the audience. Corporations and businesses focus on rhetorical appeal when it comes to creating a successful advertisement.

Rank’s intensify model strategy is where the persuader intensifies the positive aspects of their campaign or they focus on the negative aspects of a competitor’s product or campaign. Included in the intensify portion of Rank’s model there are 3 tactics, repetition, association, and composition. These are 3 simple tactics that are used frequently in persuasive material. Repetition includes recurring themes, such as jingles and slogans. Association is where the persuasive material links positive or negative ideas to the advice they are giving to consumers. Composition is the graphic, layout, and design of the persuasive material. In the Magic bullet commercial all three of these aspects of the intensify model were present.

The message conveyed through the advertising appeals influences the purchasing decisions of consumers. In this case, the advertisement was aired by Carl’s Jr fast food restaurant to advertise their new “all natural burger”. It was aired during the Super bowl because majority of the audience, men and woman, are watching the game. And it makes it easy for them to put their product out because most people that watch the Super bowl just watch the commercials.
