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

In conclusion these two arguments are looking at two different aspects and levels of the advertising industry, and that the main difference in these two arguments is that very fact. This controversial issue has raised many eyebrows and will never be at ease. People have been searching and researching the industry in hopes to find evidence of how effective or affective advertising really is. One can’t tell if advertising is more costly or rewarding to the American economy, society, and culture until it has past, therefore, arguments will never cease and opinionated parties never satisfied.
“In the twentieth century, advertising evolved into a form of persuasive social discourse intended primarily to influence how we perceive the buying and consumption of goods,” (Danesi 179).
A concept that surfaced in the early 1920’s, advertising is a tactic that has been used to influence and persuade the people to participate in consumerism. Advertising in the 1950’s was mainly displayed by the use of the television, newspapers, billboards, and the radio. At the turn of the twenty-first century, advertisers began to rely more on the Internet and technology to share and provide information based on their products. Many relied on the usage of electronic billboards, sporting events, and even video
Lindstrom discusses marketing tools, tips, and tricks throughout the book. He explores many different topics other than his research in brain pattern analyzing. He explains that billions of dollars are spent each year in product advertising. Early in the book, Lindstrom points out that shows like American idol (once a European show called pop idol) devotes 60% of their viewing time to product placement for Coca-Cola. One interesting fact is that coca-cola, ford, and Cingular wireless (later AT&T) all sponsor this well known TV s...

The technology of today has allowed for advertising to reach every corner of our lives. Commercials show on the television, pop-ups and sidebars are on your favorite website, and in the games you play on your phone.

Imagine this: You are home and flipping through the channels on your television one late night. Every channel you flip through, there is a commercial. One commercial is for food, the next commercial is for the latest phone. What do all these advertisements have in common? They want to sell as much as possible to the consumer. But how do these advertisements persuade an average consumer to purchase their product or services? Advertisers use an abundance of techniques to unconsciously motivate consumers to purchase or share information about the advertisement’s goods or services. What language and techniques do three different commercials contain and how do these elements affect an audience? In the end, it is important to remember that commercials

It also includes examination of the theoretical and empirical studies in the field of advertising. Books, research papers, articles, reports, thesis etc. were systematically studied to develop the following review of literature. The review included extensive use of Proquest, Google scholar, Inflibnet and IIM- A library. The review of theoretical literature and empirical literature helped develop the below mentioned conceptual framework. This structure underlines the sequence of steps, which were undertaken for the review of literature. The first step was to understand the concept of advertising. The second step focused on understanding the effects of advertising. Scan of literature helped in identify the types of effects advertisements are known to create. The third step involved understanding the extent to which organisations are committing their resources to advertising. As logic dictates that measurement of effectiveness is more significant where the resources committed are more, the final step involved study of effectiveness measures.
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
