Ad Analysis: Garnier BB Cream
With promises of “perfect” skin in just 30 seconds, the product ad under review is Garnier’s BB Cream. The main claim of this ad is that this is the 1st ever BB cream to give you perfect skin in 30 seconds. Along with this claim this product states that it has a “miracle formula” that will even, cover, illuminate, hydrate and protect your skin. While all these claims seem to sound promising, sometimes there needs to be some room to really interpret these statements.
While all these statements may seem truthful, they actually contain puffery, or explicit claims. The reason why these claims are explicit is because they simply cannot be measured. While this product may give the consumer “perfect” skin, there really is no scale or set standard, nor is it even remotely possible to attain perfection. Another claim this product makes that cannot be measured is that this is an “all in one” miracle; however, last time I checked miracles could not be bottled up into a cosmetic product.

    In today’s society, stress is an inevitable part of life that places both physical and psychological demands upon one’s body (Cammarata, 2007). Although stress is unavoidable, there are ways that one can temporarily relieve the pressures that are building up inside of them.

  • Ann Mcclintock's Use Of Propaganda

    This ad in particular promises “improved softness”. The problem with this claim is that it is unclear to what extent the product may have on its customers. Will the person wearing this product find themselves looking as if they’ve had professional work done, with no fine lines in the skin, or will the person only seen a small difference in their appearance? The word “softness” is also unclear. The word could mean a number of things, such as smooth complexion or evenly toned face. Does this mean the targeted woman needs to have silky soft skin, and if she doesn’t, will this be the product that solves her “problem”? It most likely will not be nearly as drastic as it might seem to me. The advertisement also promises “sublime bronze”, “instant summer glow”, and “blurred imperfections”, all of these claims are too general for anyone to decipher exactly to what extent this product works. This advertisement hopes that by using these words and phrases, women who are insecure about their “imperfections” or white, dull, skin, will buy this new product.

    One of the most eye catching ads on television lately has been an add done by Extra gum, called Origami Crane. It was created to sell Extra gum by connecting it to peoples everyday lives. This ad is a commercial that lasts a little over a minute, and yet has the ability to connect to peoples lives so easily. The main reason the add has the ability to connect to people so well is because it targets families, more so towards the daughters, and fathers of these families. The ad shows that the company who creates extra gum, does have families in mind while making ads. Not only did they keep their add family friendly, which at times can be difficult to find, they actually focused their ad more towards simple, everyday families while still having the ability to draw other people who don’t have families in.

    It is shocking how many discourses a 30 second advertisement can produce. Many people will see this advertisement differently to the way I have perceived it. But I still think that it is quite clear how much of a stereotypical view this advertisement is portraying. It has succeeded in attracting many customers and has helped sell a lot of the product. It is producing this kind of fear among women about old age that aging isn’t a good thing, once they are 30 they need to start looking after their face because they are getting old. Women need to totally make sure that they always look young or that is it, their life is over. Media does a very good job at portraying this.
