Her skin looks as smooth as a baby skin. Katy Perry also has a pair of small white pearl in her ears. On her face says “I’m Not Polite I’m Proactiv”.

Dr. Kathy Fields and Dr. Katie Rodan are two well-known dermatologists that started the Proactiv solution skin care-line. Proactvi is not a drug it is an over the counter medical care that contains benzoyl peroxide. The promotion effectively uses logos, ethos, and pathos to persuade the onlookers to purchase Proactiv products.
The first appeal is visible by using logos to offer the audience logic to purchase Proactiv products. Proactiv affirms that their product are for women of any and all kinds of skin types of racial backgrounds.

... the most common one is celebrities. In my own opinion I saw the celebrities and thought that if they were using I should I use it. Celebrities plays a big role in the Proactiv ad. They does a good job when it comes to advertising something.
In closing, the advertisement uses logos, ethos, and pathos to persuade the onlookers to purchase the Proactvi product Skin Smoothing Exfoliator, Complexion Perfecting Hydrator, and Pore Targeting Treatment.

Marketing is part of everyday life; whether you are the one buying or the one selling. “The basic idea of this somewhat complicated definition is that marketing is all about delivering value to everyone who is affected by a transaction”(Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2012, p. 8). The market for Aveeno's products is all natural and pure products.In my opinion, the Natural product line has become a success over the last few years. The company’s spokeswoman is Jennifer Aniston who has a flawless natural glow about herself. I have been a huge admirer of Aveeno products because I have very sensitive skin, so when I see “Active Naturals” on all their products it gives me the interest and desire to buy their products. Aveeno’s website
1. This advertisement features Taylor Swift, which is a celebrity spokesperson; she is supporting the company, “Diet Coke”. People that enjoy listening to Taylor Swift’s music will most likely buy this product, because they think that buying this product, diet coke will make them closer, and more like their favorite pop star Taylor Swift. This advertisement also features Pathos, an appeal to emotions, because Taylor Swift may be someone’s favourite musician or person in general. It also features ethos, an appeal to credibility, or character, because Taylor Swift is famous for her music, therefore she is well recognized throughout our society, and the music industry.
In the art of persuasion, there is something that complements the use of ethos and pathos. Any company could make a commercial with high credibility and strong emotional connection, but it needs to sound logical to convince the customers. Neutrogena’s commercial use very well ethos and pathos but does it sounds logical? According to YourDictionary logos are the logic and rational argument. The main argument of the Neutrogena Wave Sonic is that cleans your skin better than your hands alone. To people that have been using different acne treatments, it sounds logical. First, the Neutrogena Wave Sonic produces circular movements that help the circulation of your skin and help the cleanser to go deeper into the customer’s pores. Moreover, the product avoids all the mess that involves using your hands. The commercial use ethos pathos and logos very effectively to convince the audience.
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.
Just like this campaign for safe cosmetics its purpose has been to aware women, parents, workers and everyone who is affected by this problem of what big corporations are putting in the products we think are non-harmful. The title itself Chemicals in Beauty Products: The Story of Cosmetics is automatically supposed to draw women’s attention because of the words “chemicals” and “cosmetics”. Since this film was originally put on The Story of Stuff, a website for a variety of campaigns, we can assume this film was made for people who care and want to change the world to make it healthier. In addition, it also targets women who are interested in what they are putting on their bodies. Interesting enough, this video was released the same time the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 was introduced for the purpose of pursuing women, workers, and everyone affected by this chemical problem, to push congress even more to enforce this cosmetic act to be passed. The underlying purpose the producers of the film wanted from its viewers was to have them help get congress to ban all corporations from using hazardous chemicals in beauty products. Some strategies used to help their goal was to use logos and pathos to help evoke its audience to ultimately help put a stop to this problem once and for
Pathos tries to strike and emotional appeal to a brand or product. The ad tries to lure men in that does not really have luck with women. It focuses on a man that is desperate to get the ladies, so it tells them that if they buy this product the women will flock to you. It does that by telling the viewer you will own or accomplish what a woman would want or need in a relationship. Isaiah Mustafa uses great grammar when presenting the product. The words that are used flow together smoothly and he uses great hyperboles to state his standpoint. Men or maybe even women might find this ad alluring, because they want these things in life and if they purchase this body wash they might accomplish those goals in their everyday life. Every person wants to be successful in life, so they might think why not give this body wash a
Beginning a long time ago, many companies started using sex in their advertisements; however, contemporary advertisements are beginning to use different aspects of nature to sell their products. For years, sex appeal was perhaps the most important attribute of a product. Companies would show young, half-naked bodies in their TV commercials and magazine advertisements. The producers sought to force the public audience to take pleasure by looking at these beautiful ladies, while also making viewers feel naughty at the same time. Advertisers thought the audience would not be able to avoid looking at these well-endowed women. And to consumers, the women were appealing, and that made the product itself appealing. In some recent commercials, however, the concentration has changed from sinful desires to the more healthy approach to life. Everyone wants to appear healthy and in good shape. To achieve this, many people are eating better, working out more often and using healthier products on their skin. To demonstrate the idea about natural products, I have chosen three advertisements to show how these companies use nature to sell their products .
The target market would be women who require the essential night cream in order to stay looking young. In today 's world women crave the idea of looking young for a longer period of time. The idea of this ad is for women to see a beautiful woman with amazing looking skin and aspire to look like her. The Aveeno Active Naturals ad recognizes different aged women who want to stay looking younger longer. The use of a beautiful woman in the ad helps to convince women that this product will help them stay looking young.
The commercial for Deep Magic Facial Cleanser starts out with a beautiful blond woman putting on makeup, this sets the mood for the commercial by implying beautiful people use this product. It then moves to a screen with a middle aged man briefly explaining the product and its benefits to the customer, the US is the face cleaner. To further the point that their face cleanser is better than any other, they show their face cleanser works, this is the UR. When a beautiful dark haired woman, is using Deep Magic Facial Cleanser to take off her make-up, this is the CS, showing that beautiful people use this product to stay beautiful. Finally, they add to the benefits along by telling about a new cost cutting deal of two bottles for a reduced price, resulting in the CR response, buy now this amazing product is on sale. The commercial ends with a clip of a full audience clapping
Dove is a personal care trademark that has continually been linked with beauty and building confidence and self-assurance amongst women. Now, it has taken steps further by impending a new advertising strategy: fighting adverse advertising. And by that it means contesting all the ads that in some way proliferate the bodily insufficiencies which exist inside women. Launched by Dove, the campaign spins round an application called the Dove Ad Makeover which is part of the global Dove “Campaign for Real Beauty” which has been running ever since 2004 and covers print, television, digital and outdoor advertising. As Leech (1996) believed,” commercial consumer advertising seems to be the most frequently used way of advertising.”

This advertisement appears in the Seventeen magazines, whose readers range in age between thirteen and twenty-five. The visual shows a young, blonde, Caucasian female who is attracting the readers to the COVERGIRL™ product. Placing this sort of ad in the Seventeen magazines is appealing to most young women due to the beautiful celebrity, Taylor Swift, who uses the same product. Also, the colors used, such as the pastel pinks, draws in the reader since they are very feminine colors. Finally, the product itself is appealing to the audience of Seventeen because younger women like to look their best, and to do that, lip-gloss is a handy accessory.
They know that they must appeal to logic, an appeal to emotion and a to appeal to credibility. Pathos is considered is one of the most powerful tools in advertising because emotions are what guide consumers, and this tactic connect directly with consumers’ emotions. Women put up their emotional defenses and smile bravely in order to disguise their true emotion others, like their sadness or low self-esteem due to their weight, but their defenses are down when their homes alone and when a weight loss advertisement flashes across the television or in a magazine, they are tempted. The marketer relies on drawing them in during their weakest moment because the marketers know that’s when they are most likely to buy their supplements. These marketers know that the women consumers may think their claims are hyped up or lies. The women consumers know that these ads show bodies that are not realistic or representing the general population of healthy women. Nevertheless, the marketers also know that the little voice in the back of the consumers’ mind will keeps asking, “What if this product is legitimate? What if this one that will be the one to finally help me achieve my weight loss goals? “ Unfortunately, during this moment of weakness, the women consumers aren’t reading the small print of the ad, nor are they realizing that this model could have a personal cook and a
Advertisement is a form of communication that is intended to persuade consumers or a target audience to purchase or to accept the ideas, products or services. In this advertising, Axe uses the power of persuasion, such as attractive women, style, and images which are the key ideas to the product and fragrance to conjure the consumers’ behavior of the perceived images of the product. Axe was originally created in France in 1983 by a company named Unilever and sold in the United States in 2002, and is now the leader of men’s grooming markets. The brand is focused toward gender and the age of the customer. Its market strategy is aimed at males from their teens to their twenties appealing to a new life style product that would increase their luck with the ladies. Axe deodorant ads gives you the apparent need to smell and feel good, but the means of feeling good is mainly through increased sex appeal. This ad assumes that all males buy deodorant solely for the purpose of getting women, and if you do certain things, like buy this product, then all women will be all over you.
The media favors one women's body type; the tall blonde with perfect, tan skin and long, beautiful hair. Because the images of women in advertisements are unattainable, it keeps them purchasing new products in their quest to be like the models they see (Moore). The actual women in these advertisements can't even match up to the
