To increase profit, Wonderful Pistachios makes advertisements and publishes them in magazines to increase exposure and sales. In a particular advertisement titled “The Mindful Nut,” Wonderful Pistachios creates a scene in which a woman is meditating in a black background. The purpose is to promote their product by appealing to women who are outer-directed emulators who have a desire to fit in with trends in society as well as inner-directed I-am-me who strive for mindfulness and a healthy lifestyle.
Outer-directed people who are emulators of others typically choose to focus on the figure in the center of the advertisement. In the center of the advertisement, a middle-aged, white, and fit woman is seated with legs crossed and toes touching her

Altogether, the ad’s effectiveness covers every factor of persuasion well. The enticement of the Cheerios commercial relies on factual evidence, professional reputation, and touching emotional scenes to appeal and relate to a variation of audiences. By utilizing reliable credentials and appealing to the viewers feelings and rationale, Cheerios is able to successfully persuade the audience that what they use for ingredients in their cereal is just as important as keeping you and your family
This list of appeals was created to better understand the language of advertisements and how they attempt to connect with their audience. While some advertisements can be very clear and direct with their message others may use more subliminal techniques to form an association with things viewers find pleasing or memorable with their product. Often the themes seen in advertisements seemingly have nothing to do with the product being sold. This experience is often true for your average consumer however, with tools like that provided by Jib Fowles, we can break down these strategies into individual categories and analyze how they impact the general public. The Snickers Dark Chocolate commercial ran on American television in 2007 as a part of a 4-part series titled “Feast” where groups of famed historical figures from various time periods were seen interacting in modern
Jean Kilbourne shows that the major messages is that exhilaration come from products, and ads are guided customers away from what make them really happy. Every sentiments is used to sell something and leave shoppers romantic about the products.Advertisers exploit buyer's human desires for link, calmness,esteem, and
The primary message of all four advertisements is to portray the product as needed in an individual’s life and that it is the superior option for a multitude of reasons. The first advertisement suggests that women, primarily although men may or may not take notice of the product for their own use, cannot achieve youthful skin appearance without the product. The second advertisement installs fear and doubt, with the offer of services to dispel those fears and doubts. The third provides a blend of fear, by focusing on men who may be insecure or who wishes to be more manly or perceived in a different light. Instead of focusing on the product itself, it conveys a sense that smoking Camel cigarettes will help transform the man into a manly outdoorsman. Finally, the fourth advertisement offers choice and, in the form of said choice, relief. By focusing on showcasing two unique flavors per pizza pie offered, it allows those who require significant choice options in their restaurant experience to be assured that Pizza Planet offers that choice. As mentioned in the targeted audience portion, this choice is significant for households with diverse preferences when it comes to selecting a restaurant to eat
NutriGrain wants you to know that eating their product can inspire you to make healthier decision for the rest of your day. The company is telling consumers that buying their product is a healthy choice that can help you stay away from other unhealthy snacks. With this commercial, NutriGrain preys on the guilt most women have if they indulge in the high calorie office snacks or are too busy to eat at all. NutriGrain wants women to know that they do have time to eat their product, and by doing so, they can create a healthy mindset for the rest of the
The settings of the advertisement, which are a business building, a restaurant, and a street, clearly represent the three different classes of the upper- class, the middle-class and the lower-class. Additionally, women's different types of clothing also represent the different classes. The girl in the business office has worn a well-groomed suit, which suggests that she belongs to the upper-class. Women in the street have worn jeans, which suggests that they belong to the lower-class. The advertainment also sells some messages to the dominant elite with the product. The first message being communicated is that women are products that are meant to be consumed and when a product is bought, women come with the product. The main character in the advertisement has worn a jean and has opened its buttons, which suggests that he is a lower-class person. After he chews the Clorets gum, which is a high-end product, he is considered an upper- class person who attracts all the girls wherever he goes. Women are attracted to him just because of the fresh air created by the gum and before consumption, he could not attract women. Therefore, it is the gum that attracts women, not the guy. The second message of the dominant elite that is communicated to the audience is that women should sell their body to the men. All women in the commercial try different sexy poses in front of the man in the advertisement to attract him. The woman in the
This next ad was also found in a CookingLight magazine, whose target audience tends to be health-minded middle ages women. The ad is for Curate, who is trying to sell their Curate fruit bars. This is the first ad throughout this book that will be seen using the technique of glittering generalization, but it also uses weasel words as well.
The setting of the commercial starts off with the shower running and the attractive male in a towel and turns into this paradise- like setting. This setting provides an ideal setting to match the character within the commercial. The focus of the commercial comes to be on the male. The background scenery is neutral in both settings. When the male presents the Old Spice bottle, it is a splash of color and the viewers’ eyes tend to be attracted more toward the bottle. The bottle draws attention away from the male and the background setting. This use of product placement and color contrast brought the bottle to be the center of attention of the commercial. The colors in the advertisement tend to be the same, but with the presentation of the bottle, the viewers’ eyes are opened. This draws a parallel to the use of the old Spice and the “out of the world feeling” it produces.
We've all seen and read many advertisements and we usually find them appealing and very persuasive. However the question is, what are they really advertising? Women are usually used for many different advertisements, not only are they used for women's clothing but also for other materials and objects. These are the ads that we look at each and every day. In, “Killing Us Softly” by Jean Kilbourne, she introduces her problem with how women are being used to advertise products. She shows us ads that she has seen where women are being used to advertise a company’s product. While our women are being used, dehumanized, and sexualized in our society, we’re going on with our life like it’s normal.
“Mom, I want this! I want this!” I scream as I’m peering at the screen, causing my mom to walk in and hear, “The breakfast of a champion” coming from the television. Why did I want to eat Wheaties cereal so bad when my mom provided other delicious cereals, like Fruity Pebbles or Lucky Charms everyday in our pantry? Being a young child in sports, I simply wanted to be that champion. As I watched the advertisement, I noticed the athletes they featured and I wanted to be just like them. As I watched more TV, I noticed other commercials that did not interest me as much. For example, seeing a commercial for Special K didn’t intrigue me because I didn’t notice anything special about it. I knew I wasn’t going to become
On May 2014; the Women’s and Health magazine published an advertisement for Sofia Vergara featuring Head and Shoulders. Head and Shoulders is a shampoo product with different kinds of shampoos. This advertisement is selling the green apple head and shoulder shampoo with its conditioner. Who are the targeted audience? Why would any person choose this product not the other? A lot of questions the advertisement must reply on to be considered as a good advertisement. One of the main questions asked would be if this was a persuasive advertisement or not. Such a question is answered through the use of logos ethos and pathos.
Multimodal text plays a huge role in the entertainment industry, but how they promote and influence audiences to buy their products depends highly on how they present their advertisement. In the famous Old Spice commercial many rhetorical appeals are used, and although this advertisement little to realistically describes the product they are advertising, It's clever and subtle use of all three appeals, pathos, logos, and ethos, persuaded many people to switch to Old Spice and at the same time helped Old Spice reach its target audience, which is men.
Oscar Mayer presents two arguments of it being natural and not artificial. In the WomensHealth magazine, Oscar Mayer uses parts of nature to present that it’s natural, but the Hollywood sign in the background projects it to be artificial. Oscar Mayer has a lot of additives that make it a good product for the consumers, like the descriptive details of what’s in it. This advertisement challenges the socio economic status including gender and age. Also this advertisement shows different ideas for the consumers to figure out, that can sometimes be elusive when you analyze it.
Below the cake there is white bold capitalized letters saying “Smoking causes premature aging” which explains what may have happened to the lady. Then in bottom right corner there is a blue box advertising the product, in the box there are some words reading “Helps you stop smoking”. The target audience of this advertisement are any individuals 18 and above years of age of any gender who smoke, but more specifically the ad is geared towards women that smoke because they showed a woman who is 42 but looks like she is 70. In today’s age many women want to retain their beauty for as long as they can. The author chose this picture specifically for his ad because it illustrates what people today don’t want and that is that they don’t want to grow older faster. The author’s purpose of the ad is to persuade anyone who sees the ad to quit smoking and warn people about the dangers of smoking. The author shows their product alongside the picture because they want the audience to quit and think that only their product can help them quit. Aside from the clear picture that we can see from the ad if you think rhetorically you can see that the author is using ethos, pathos to subliminally persuade you to follow the
