Recommended: The impact of advertising on people

Everyday we walk around and see advertisements from many different companies, but I don’t think we ever really deeply think about the name of the products that we end up buying. We just know that we want that product and that we’re willing to spend our money on that product. But if you really take a deeper look at the many signs and advertisements you see every day some begin to stick out and really make you ask yourself “Why does this product have this name”? A good example is the dishwashing liquid named “Joy”, the name of the product makes no sense because it’s dishwashing liquid so there’s no way it could really bring you joy, if it brings any type of emotion it would probably bring sadness or anger because who truly enjoys washing dishes? …show more content…

You can easily make the assumption that the biggest buyer of that type of product tends to be women or housewives who cook dinner for their family and wash the dishes after their family enjoys a meal. So you kind of have to go into the mind of a housewife for a second and think would a housewife by a dishwashing liquid named with a negative name such as sadness, hatred, depression, etc. I’m pretty sure you can answer that question yourself pretty quickly and come to the conclusion that they wouldn’t prefer to purchase a product with that type of name. Also it makes you think no one would prefer to buy a product with a bland name over a product with a positive and happy name such as …show more content…

We buy every product for a reason and if there wasn’t a such thing as advertisement we would be buying products for no reason. There would be no competition between businesses and no product would be unique and different from products that have the same purpose, some people prefer to wash dishes with Dawn dishwashing liquid over Joy dishwashing liquid even though they have the exact same purpose. In some way one dishwashing liquids advertising was better than the other which makes the consumer prefer one dishwashing liquid over the other. In modern time we will all be advertised at almost 24/7 until we die. But if you really just take a look at the products that you 're buying and ask yourself why you 're buying that product it might help you be more efficient in buying the products that you think are better, when in reality you’re just feasting on all the advertisement that that product and company is feeding you when really that product isn’t the best and actually isn 't really that good compared to all of the others that didn’t stand out to

  • Charmin Toilet Paper Ad

    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.

    Have you ever seen an advertisement for a product and could immediately relate to the subject or the product in that advertisement? Companies that sell products are always trying to find new and interesting ways to get buyers and get people’s attention. It has become a part of our society today to always have products being shown to them. As claimed in Elizabeth Thoman’s essay Rise of the Image Culture: Re-Imagining the American Dream, “…advertising offered instructions on how to dress, how to behave, how to appear to others in order to gain approval and avoid rejection”. This statement is true because most of the time buyers are persuaded by ads for certain products.

    Lots of people at a high level in society use the products they own to represent their social status. As what Solomon says in his article, “advertisers have been quick to exploit the status signals that belong to body language as well.” (169) Advertising gives them a good chance to show their material success, and the advertised products make them more of individuality. For example, Michael Jordan owns a Ferrari 512 which is a super sports car with an unaffordable price. Ferrari’s advertising tells the world how excellent and expensive the car is, so that his car could shows his wealth and success in his career and also his energetic and positive personalities. Being advertised, Jordan’s Ferrari is not just a vehicle but a symbol of his identity. There is no doubt that this advertised car makes Jordan much more of

    Popular brands and companies typically rely heavily on brand names to unfairly convince people to buy their specific product, even though another brand would likely work almost the same. In order to do this, those companies use many elements of ethos, but they also attempt to establish the superiority of their brand with logos and pathos. In the commercial, “Colgate Dentist DRTV,” the brand attempts to persuade consumers to buy Colgate Total toothpaste by presenting their name and relatable women, followed by attractive visuals, but ultimately the advertisement fails to provide enough logic to convince a well-informed audience that it truly matters which brand of toothpaste they buy, and that Colgate is better than any
