The Lavidge and Steiner’s hierarchy of effects model (1961) was developed to show the process of how advertising works. Lavidge and Steiner believed that advertising is a long term process that moves consumers over time through a series of six stages. It is based on the classic hierarchy of effects structure; cognition (thinking), affect (feeling), and conation (doing). Lavidge and Steiner 's model breaks these three stages down starting with: Awareness (cognitive/thinking): a customer who is completely unaware of the product becomes aware of its existence. Knowledge (cognitive/thinking): The consumer learns about the products features and benefits. Liking (affective/feeling): The consumers attitude towards the product becomes positive. Preference It focuses on attracting the attention of people and then trying to persuade them into taking action and purchasing the product. It works in a very linear way, step by step. Because of its simplicity, it is easy to see which ads AIDA can be applied to. For example a print ad that would comply with the AIDA model would have an attention grabbing image or headline, something that stands out and catches the eye. It would then have some copy or non verbal communication with information in order to create some interest. Followed by a suggestion of how the consumer could benefit, or a direct appeal to the consumer perhaps through the use of personal pronouns, or even associating the brand with a cool reputation to create desire. Then finally a website, place, date, or name for the consumer to use in order to take action. The AIDA model relies on advertising satisfaction for a human need, you could say this is how advertising works. Ads appeal to consumers to show them how their product can satisfy the consumers needs. Without the desire stage of AIDA the consumer can’t move onto the action stage and purchase the product. Ads create desire by appealing to a consumers personal needs and The model can also be easily applied to significant purchases, but not so easily applied to meaningless ‘spontaneous’ purchases. For example, if you see an ad for chewing gum it is not likely to make you take action and go out and buy the product or actively look for the product next time you are shopping, but it is more likely that the ad would 've raised your awareness of the product and when you were out and decided you wanted gum you recognised the gum and bought it because it was the one you were most familiar with. Thus entirely ignoring the interest, desire, and action parts of the AIDA model. The AIDA model is more of a technique used in advertising and by salesmen than a theory on how advertising actually works, but it has shown to be effective and work as many successful ads exist that comply with the model, which does support the view that advertising is a strong force that compels a passive consumer to take action and purchase a
Advertisements are constructed to be compelling; nonetheless, not all of them reach their objective and are efficient. It is not always easy to sway your audience unless your ad has a reliable appeal. Ads often use rhetoric to form an appeal, but the appeals can be either strong or weak. When you say an ad has a strong rhetorical appeal, it consists of ethos, pathos, logos, and Kairos. Advertisers use these appeals to cohere with their audience. Nike is known to be one of the leading brands of the sports shoes and apparel. It holds a very wide sector of followers around the world. In the Nike ad, Nike uses a little boy watching other basketball players play, and as the kid keeps growing, his love for basketball keeps growing. Eventually, he

All these stages are simple, but extremely effective. Any advertisement that you hear on the radio or see on the TV is using classical conditioning to make you change your behavior and go and buy their product. Cola, pizzas, cars, and even toilet paper commercials are no exception. Advertisements are made with this psychological principal, using objects or certain types of people to generate an emotion to dig deep into your mind and your pocket book. Today we will take a walk through the history of advertising and look at how commercials for beauty products have evolved with the

This book has opened a whole new perspective on advertising and the reasons we buy things and regret them later. Thinking that I have the urge for a McDonalds hamburger may feel real, or it might just be an elaborate, expensive advertising technique used to manipulate my buying behavior.
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. The basic aim of advertising is to convince the target audience that their product is the best in the field and superior to the other products of similarity.
The advertisement that I have chosen is the Old Spice “Smell Like a Man, Man” Campaign, which was created by ad agency Wieden+Kennedy. I will be using Harold Dwight Lasswell 's communication model " Who says What to Whom over What Channel with What Effect?" to analyze the ad campaign that I have chosen. This model is also known as the one way model of communication and is one of the most influential communication models. The model can be broken down into five aspects which are also known as the five W 's: who, what, whom, what channel, what affect. The 'Who ' in the model represents the source or the marketer. The 'What ' represents the message that the marketer is trying display. The 'Whom ' represents the receiver, consumer and target
This is the first and most basic step in the purchase decision process. Marketers can effectively initiate consumers’ awareness of a need with the right advertising campaign. For instance, the concession advertising prior to the start of a feature movie is geared toward making movie goers aware that they” need” a drink and a snack. Information search is the process where consumers gather information on a pro... ... middle of paper ... ...

Effective advertisements are advertisements that help the advertiser to reach its goals (Doyle& Saunders, 1990).

Advertising generally tries to sell the things that consumers want even if they should not wish for them. Adverting things that consumers do not yearn for is not effective use of the advertiser’s money. A majority of what advertisers sell consists of customer items like food, clothing, cars and services-- things that people desire to have. On the other hand it is believed by some advertising experts that the greatest influence in advertising happens in choosing a brand at the point of sale.
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.

A reader will clearly understand whether the advertising influences people or not, also will recognize how advertising forces people to buy things they do not need. It is also important to distinguish between manipulation and influence. During the whole work, we will show exact examples and evidence of how actually advertising manipulates people and why we do not see it. On the other hand, we will also describe non-manipulative advertising and how people can avoid senseless purchase.
