Recommended: Techniques of persuasion

In this essay I will be comparing three pieces of advertising texts. The first advert I will be comparing is called the ‘Protein’ advert. This advert is very informative as well as persuasive. It is designed to inform people, who are trying to become fit, about a product which helps them get into shape easily. It also persuades you to buy the product as it has a free coupon for the product which will make readers read the advertisement and buy the product.

The next advert I will be comparing is the ‘bread’ advert. This is also very informative as it describes something very unusual, it talks about something not related to the main product, but it tells us that without photosynthesis, the bread would not be the bread it is today.

The last text I will comparing is the ‘looking good’ text. It is an advertisement promoting healthy new products from a new range. It persuades you to try the new range of healthy food. The purpose of the advertisement is to persuade. It is also quite informative. I think all three texts are connected as they all have similar themes.

The ‘protein’ and ‘looking good’ texts are both designed for people who are trying to become healthy and change their lifestyle. The ‘protein’ advert is for people who trying to keep a healthy balanced diet and promotes a drink to help their diet whereas the ‘looking good’ advert is for people who want a healthier start to their diet and they can do this by trying the new range from Asda. Both texts are mainly for women because in the ‘protein’ advert there is a picture of a woman and women mainly care about their figure and diet more than men do.

The ‘bread’ advert is for a wide variety of age groups and any gender. The target audience is probably for people who eat ...

...ick the techniques used obviously.

I think the adverts I chose were not very effective and there were not many techniques used that I couldn’t talk about in my essay. The ‘bread’ advert makes the reader feel involved and that is what I mainly liked about the advert. I also liked the effective picture of the leaf used because of the effect it had on the whole advertisement.

The ‘looking good’ advert didn’t look like an advert when you take a first glance at it, but when you actually read the advertising promotion you can tell it is an advert.

The ‘protein’ advert was my favourite advert and I think was the best one I picked because of the image, text and typography used. There was a lot of information I could use for my essay and as part of the audience I think it was the most informative and eye catching advert from the three advertising pieces.

    Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.

These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic.

    In the first part of the advertisement the man makes a comment saying, “So the harder a wife works, the cuter she looks!” Implying that if the consumer eats Kellogg’s PEP cereal she too will gain “cuter looks”, strongly emphasized by underlining the slogan. With the product they won’t just gain an extra boost of energy to continue daily chores, but will also gain the eyes of their husband. The wife looking perky and agreeable, the admiration from her husband appeals to the audience which is directed towards both men and women. Men are targeted through the fantasy of having a more attractive wife. The main tagline suggests that men can purchase the product and expect improvements in their wives looks. Women are targets as well, in hopes of gaining a “cuter” appearance that will appeal to the man in their life. The target audience negatively attracts men and women, again showcasing how these roles define both a man and a woman into whom society believes is acceptable. Women having to conform into a tight strict guideline that must tend to a man 's wants and needs; as if a women must bow down to a man in order to gain respect, love and

    A Comparison of Two Advertisements Introduction Advertising and media are part of everybody’s everyday life, with or without them realizing. Each day we see adverts on the television showing us new lifestyles that look glamorous, we hear adverts on the radio, we see slogans emblazoned on people’s clothes, on the side of buses, on billboards, everywhere!! Big companies know that they need to make their product appeal to as many ‘niche markets’ as possible and they do this by ‘audience segmentation’. This is when companies make an advert so that it would appeal to one type of person, and then another advert for the same product but for a different type of person. Although it is hard to know exactly when there target audience will be watching, companies will spend lots of money researching.

  • Advertisement: An Illusion

    1403 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Illusion of Advertisements Advertisements are pieces of art or literary work that are meant to make the viewer or reader associate with the activity or product represented in 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 ones 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 advert alongside is simple and straight to the point. It contains very few details but extremely large content with the choice of words and graphics.
