The promotional campaign by Cable Communications Corporation argues that all business would benefit from advertising with the cable television company in the form of increased profitability. As evidence to back up this assertion, the promotional campaign notes the experience of the Adams Cars Dealership, a recent advertiser with Cable Communication Corporation. Over the last 30 days, Adams Cars has seen a 15% increase in sales over the previous month. The argument as it now stands is unconvincing because it is missing evidence that would make the argument more well reasoned. It also suffers from poorly defined vocabulary, which makes the argument less easy to understand.
The argument PRESUPPOSES that the example of the Adams Car Dealership

The first piece of such vocabulary is the word "recently".From just this word, it is impossible to tell when the advertising began. If Adams' advertising began three months ago, it would be very impressive that sales increased 15% between month two and month three of the advertising campaign. Why would there not have been a boost before the most recent month? If the promotional campaign told business owner exactly when Adams began advertising, the owners would have a better ability to evaluate the argument's conclusion. The author should also clarify the phrase "increase your profits". The promotional campaign's argument gives no details on the fees associated with advertising with Cable Communications.If Adams Cars had to develop an ad and pay large sums to Cable Communications to run the ad, the total cost of advertising with the cable company vey well may have exceeded the addtional profits derived from increased sales. Without additonal information in this regard, business owners cannot possibly evaluate the argument's …show more content…
The argument presupposes that the 15% increase in sales at Adams Car Dealership is a direct result of the recent advertising campaign with Cable Communications Corporation. It could be that the dealership had announced a sale for this month or that the previous month's sales were seasonably low- for example sales in March might always be better than sales in February due to some exogenous factor. Im order to better believe that Adams benefited from the advertisigng campaign with Cable Communications, business owners need evidence that there was not some other factor causing the 15% increase. Perhaps evidence could be shown comparing the last 30 days of sales with the same period in the previous year, or the last time the dealership was running the same

Tom Brady is one of the most accomplished NFL players of all time. On the bottom of the ad is stated that Smartwater is the answer to one of the best players in NFL history, so clearly it is the answer for any other athlete. Propaganda Techniques: Faulty Cause and Effect: In this example we are given a statement, a fact. The fact clearly states that Smartwater is not only good enough, but it is the answer to “the greatest quarterback of this era.”
Goldman opens our eyes here to the idea that advertising is something required for the free-market to function properly. One of the biggest things in the market affected by advertising is media which would not exist at a fair market price today if it were not for advertising. Goldman continues to justify this argument up by pointing out that, at its core, advertisement is just a way to provide information, nothing more and nothing less. It is there to make people aware of their options and show them what is available on the market. Goldman also points out that there are multiple arguments for and against advertising as a whole and what it is meant to accomplish, this in itself allows for one to conclude that advertising is exactly like any other product of the free m...

In a competitive environment where market is changing instantly, organizations are in a fix to design a strategy that could market their products enticing the consumers to buy their products and services.

Advertising has became a race, a race of passing information to customers in order to change their buying decisions. Because of that, it is difficult to keep the content of an advertisement true to the fact. Facts or benefits of a product are often exaggerated in modern advertisements. Brands create these new images of the product to expand the role of their actual service.
The logic in the article is simple, just as the motive to present a topic that can in a more detailed passage seem complex, as a very simple graspable and an unadorned science. It is also for that reason that I find the message persuasive, since the main elements of marketing come through very strong throughout the whole article. As a reader, I
Analysis of an Advertising Campaign We are swarmed by advertising. Companies constantly battle to compete for the sale of their product. Adverts appear in every form of media including radio; television; Internet; billboards; newspaper; flyers and magazines. The advertiser wants us to buy their product above their competitors.

This is the final way that ads use to influence audiences to buy their product over another. The Pepsi ad provides a website that onlookers may visit if they wish to learn more about the “Pepsi Refresh Project.” By citing this website the ad has appealed to audience’s logical reasoning. However, unlike the Pepsi ad, the coke ad provides its fact on the advertisement. The ad informs readers that coca cola has been around for over 84 years. This is a better way to appeal to a person logical understanding, because the information is right there, and they do not have to go to a website to find information about the product. Overall, both advertisements provide information about their product in an attempt to persuade audiences to buy either Pepsi or Coca
This essay is going to examine how advertising strategies used in different market structures affects profits of the firms. This essay is being written based on Advertising, an article by Geoff Stewart, in which he examines “how do firms determine their advertising strategy”.

However other competitive markets include perfect competition and monopolistic competition.
