TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENT
Television is one of the biggest mass media available to advertisers and marketers. High Definition and 3D technology has improved the impact of advertisements by reaching a significant audience. Advertising is considered multi dimensional as it can be used to convey nature of the product through demonstration, sound and vision. Social advertising is a very good example of positive advertising. The objective of social advertising is to change public attitude and behavior and stimulate positive change. For example Polio ad, advertisement of Iodized salt, soaps like Dettol, Lifebuoy which provokes children to stay clean. Advertisers act smartly as to how to make the product reach the target customers. They try to expose those products in their ads that are most liked and used by kids. By doing so, they can reach them very quickly and easily. Advertisements of toothbrush and pastes use the marketing strategy like showing chocolates and noodles as left over in between teeth that leads to cavity and emphasis on brushing twice a day, which helps the children to keep their teeth clean, healthy and germ-free. There are advertisements that improves their musical skills, singing ability, develops creativity and improves language. Advertisement also helps the children’s health in a positive way- be it a kid of 2 yrs or a little grown up of 12 yrs. In the urge of looking at the positive impact, let us not forget the negative ones created in the minds of consumers.

MISLEADING TECHNIQUES
Use of techniques makes it difficult for children to judge the correct size, shape, colour, action, taste and performance of any product. This is because of exaggeration, use of artificial colours in food items, graphics, animation and special effects. It is very difficult to let the children know the difference between Fantasy and reality. Though advertisements keep the people aware of newly launched ideas and products, they exaggerate the people that make them fall in love with the product.
IMPACT ON CULTURE
Advertisements have impact on culture. Most advertising tends to be “a trailing indicator of popular culture" (Edward Kosner). The entertainment film industry and serials have a telling impact on the behavior of Indian society. Films are seen once or twice while ad films are seen over and over.

  • Charmin Toilet Paper Ad

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

    “There are twelve billion dollars spent annually on ads directed at children” (Dittmann, 2004). These advertisements target young, impressionable minds, capture the attention of the child and imprint an ideal or message. While watching advertisements, a child develops a like or dislike for an activity or product. The strength of the desire is proportional to exposure. Desire creates action and action creates sales. I observed this principle with a sibling, my younger brother Eron. When a General Electric commercial came on television he, would turn and be mystified by the music and dancing of the actors. Around the age of eight, he expressed a very strong opinion that General Electric products are superior to other products. At this stage in his development, he did not have the cognitive ability to think abstractly to weigh all of the aspects associated with what makes a product of quality.
