The apartment advertisement uses a large picture, ethos, pathos, and snob appeal, the Blackmore’s advertisements use pathos, loaded language, a plain person and testimonial, logos, a large picture and a competition. The apartment advertisement is similar to the Blackmore’s advertisement in that they both use a large picture as part of their layout, this draws readers towards the advertisements. Both advertisements use pathos, which is an appeal to the reader’s emotions. The Blackmore’s advertisement accomplishes this through the picture of the women smiling and jumping into the air. The apartment advertisement uses pathos through language such as luxury, and explaining why the apartment is luxurious. Loaded language is one marketing technique that is used in the Blackmore’s women’s vitamins through the use of words such as “fun”, “positive attitude”, and “healthy”. The Blackmore’s advertisement also uses a plain person with a testimonial, this is intended to make people feel like that they can become that slightly better them person by using the Blackmore’s women’s vitamins. The Blackmore’s advertisement also uses logos, which is an appeal to logic, this is shown by the ‘facts’ below the vitamins about what the vitamins can do if you have a vitamin deficiency. One final technique used in the Blackmore’s advertisement is the use of a competition, the competition uses reciprocity to make people more likely to purchase their product. Reciprocity is the fact that people are more likely to buy something when the marketer gives the person something for free, even if it is only a chance of something such as in the Blackmore’s competition . The apartment advertisement is different in that it uses ethos, which is an appeal to credibility. This is shown through naming the people who helped in the creation of the apartment such as “Award-winning interior architect Carmel
First off, the design of the advertisement creates an alluring atmosphere. When first looking at the advertisement, the model captures’ the consumers attention first rather than the product because the model’s headshot takes up the entire page. The model has natural looking makeup on and shows off her bare skin. She also has curly voluminous hair and the lighting illuminates this glow and beautiful shine on the model’s hair. The model portrays to be perceived as this sexual icon in the advertisement because she achieves to create a seductive look with her overall appearance. Next the background of the advertisement is dark and has minimum lighting. The tone of the mood of the background creates this seductive atmosphere in the whole design. The mood and the attractiveness of the model signal this sexuality in the advertisement, which appeals to woman....

Advertisers all have one goal in common, that is an ad that is catching to a consumer’s attention. In today’s fast paced society there are so many selling products and charities. As I exam the advertisement for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals (ASPCA), I will show how they use the pathos, ethos, and logos – also known as Aristotle’s Theory of Persuasion.
The images which are used for advertisements, newspapers, or magazines usually include the significant purposes and ideas. Then, in many cases, they are described by ethos, pathos, and logos which are used frequently to catch viewers’ attentions. Even if the ads do not have concrete strategies and clear opinions, those ads may not be able to persuade the viewers. In other words, the excellent ads could use one of three persuasions. The following advertisement is the good example of embedded pathos in the advertisement.
Advertisements are everywhere in the modern world. They are present in magazines, on billboards, and on television. They dominate the media and, for this reason, have significant influence on consumers. One example is an advertisement by the Macy’s department store. The advertisement is for a perfume called Animale. It has a vibrant green background and shows the perfume bottle in the lower left-hand corner; however, the bottle and perfume name only take up a small part of the image. Most of the advertisement is dominated by a photograph of a woman. The woman pictured is black, and her eyes have been colored to match the green background. Her eyes stare directly at the viewer and are accentuated by the makeup and paint covering her face. Because
Advertising in its purest form has been an essential part of the business world for centuries. The purpose of advertising is to inform society of a certain product and/or service that has become available. Advertising is used as a method of communication between a consumer and the company in which the product is from, because it persuades the consumers to take action. According to Lindsay in “The Case of Print Media Advertising in the Internet Age” the individuals who are above the age of 18 and reside in America, spend a total of 9 hours, and 35 minutes using media per day (2007). In figure 1 it shows that non-print advertisements represent the majority of the time spent utilizing this media. The pie-chart showed that certain individuals spent 44.5% of their time watching television, 27.8% listening to the radio, and 5.3% on the internet meanwhile newspapers, music, magazines and books resulted in a total of 16.5% combined (The Case of Print, 2007, pg. 7). We are exposed to several hundreds of advertisements every day; some of these advertisements include direct phone calls from telemarketers, billboards, and commercials. While print advertisements aren’t at the high end of the typical consumers view scale, they are the most effective due to the consistency in which they appear. The use of print advertisements in marketing is posing a great danger to all members of society, because they put a damper on both men and women’s self-worth, encourage the use alcohol in minors, and is causing obesity rates to increase. (should be and causes obesity rates to increase, the way you have it is not parallel)
The world has a history of persuasion. There are many types of persuasion. Companies use advertisements to persuade consumers to use their products. Government officials and other politicians use persuasion to gain voters support. Militaries is all countries use persuasion to gain public support at the home front as well as the battlefield as well as persuade the public to fund or be in favor of was. Throughout history there have been many tactics used to persuade individuals. Some tactics like propaganda are looked at less favorably than others like public relations and advertisements.
Charles A O’Neil explains how advertising is made of a simple language which includes short words, pictures, symbol and slogans. He writes that advertisements is being edited into its simplicity form which is the advertising language. These advertisements may seem casual and natural but they are carefully made to get our attention into buying what they are selling. “Every successful advertisement uses a creative strategy based on an idea intended to attract and hold the attention of the targeted consumer audience”. O’Neil also lets us be aware that advertisement wasn’t as easy as we thought it was, like slogans have been engineered so that we remember them even if we refuse to, or that images have been carefully chosen
Cryptic Advertising Advertising is the essence of modern day competitive marketing world. As someone has rightfully put it ‘Advertising makes you buy things you don’t need’. The task of advertising campaigns is thus to gain attention of viewers towards the product. In an era of intense competition to sell the products to the consumers, it is very important to note that consumers are already flooded with too many choices of products being offered to them. In these circumstances, it is imperative to know that more than three quarter of the total audience or viewers of the ads are only inclined to concentrate on the part of the ad that captures their attention. It is also interesting to note that people tend to ignore the fine details presented in the ads and generally remember only part of the ad. It naturally implies that an ad campaign must be designed in such a way that part of the ad must be quite unique from the other similar product’s ads so that the viewers may have interest in that part, may be compelled to concentrate on ad on the whole and eventually remember the product with reference to that particular part. In this connection, it becomes imperative in today’s fast paced life that that the ad must have few words in those that could give the viewers a hint of what they have in store in the total ad and also persuades them to not only pay attention to the total content of the ad but also makes them convinced to buy the product as well. In modern days, the strategy being used to capture the attention of the consumers is to use cryptic advertising. The cryptic advertising uses different slogans to seek the viewer’s attention towards the product. Despite being cryptic, the ad must be relevant to the product. Any cryptic slog...
Advertising effectiveness refer to the changes that advertising causes in the mental or physical state or activities of the recipient of an ad (Jellis Gerard).
Ads of these days in comparison to those in previous times have come a lengthy way from how it is used to how it is provided to the community. Promoters use many methods to reel in most of their clients into purchasing or trying an item whether it is new or an old item. One of the many kinds of propaganda they use is the simply people system which may use a popular individual as an make an effort to persuade the community that his or her opinions indicate those of the typical individual and that they are also operating for the advantage of the individuals. However, the kinds of propaganda used in the Pepsi marketing is the group and shining generalities system. The Coca-Cola ad is also provided as a Pepsi container with a rush of colors capturing out with a cheerful experience in middle of all the different colors. Promoters have many different kinds of propaganda they could use to take clients into the checkout range with their product(s) in side. With the Coca-Cola ad select to use a vibrant plan to entice the clients fun and free-spirited aspect, and a range which indicates the use of the group system.
The advertisement project was a great learning experience on learning what it takes to produce a print ad, and getting harsh feed back from the consumer. The project exposed how hard it is to actually produce a good advertisement that will pop to the consumers eye and reel them in to have interest in buying the product your trying to sell them. In my groups jean print advertisement we used a method from Arthur Asa Berger’s book Ads, Fads, and Consumer Culture. We in particular used chapter four, “Running it up a flagpole to see if anyone salutes”, in this chapter Berger says choose a way you want to do an advertisement and do it. The consumer will either like it or not it’s a 50/50 gamble. All you can do is what you think will work and run with it. And that’s basically the approach we had from the minute we were posed with the project. Since we didn’t feel like playing the sex sells card, the group and I felt that chapter four of Berger’s book was the best to use to produce our advertisement. While we learned a lot from this project in understanding advertising and consumer culture, the aspects of the project ranged from the original concept to the survey results of the responses from consumers.
Advertisements are pieces of art or literary work that are meant to make the viewer or reader associate to the activity or product represented on the advertisement. According to Kurtz and Dave (2010), in so doing, they aim at either increasing the demand of the product, to inform the consumer of the existence, or to differentiate that product from other existing one in the market. Therefore, the advertiser’s aim should at all times try as much as possible to stay relevant and to the point.
The main purpose of advertising is to deliver the proper message to customers and prospective customers. The purpose of advertising is to convince customers that a company's services or products are the best, to enhance the image of the company, point out and create a need for their products or services, demonstrate new uses for the established ones, announce new products and programs, reinforce the individual messages of the sales people, draw customers to the business, and to hold existing customers.
