Advertising - Task 2

Advertising – Task 2 (30.1.2)
Advertisers use a variety of techniques to get us to buy goods or services. Some of them are listed below. Can you fill in the gaps and find an example of the persuasive technique used?

Type of persuasive technique
Link to an advert which uses this technique
The Anecdote: Personal experience or story which is sold to us as proof.
In this link a woman named Caroline McKinnon had her laser eye surgery and you see her before the surgery with her glasses on and she’s expressing how happy she’s been with the company’s (Opitmax) services. She is then shown without her glasses and she is stating how clear her eyesight is.
Adjective: Crisp, fresh, healthy, nutritious, etc.
The adjective in this advert is extra crunchy.
Repetition: Key points, positives about the product, themes etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7gpmvcGIT8 In the advert they repeat the companies phone number several times throughout the song and they describe their services as ‘Directory heaven’.
Statistics: Often presented as factually accurate but sometimes they are a bit dubious.
 This advert tells us what powerful formulas are used however to your average person the formulas represented don’t mean anything to them.
Facts:  A statement that is true and can be proven.
This advert tells you the statistics for how many children are abused and these facts can be proven – however as this is an old advert the facts are no longer accurate.

Advertising - Task 1

Advertising – Task 1 (30.1.1.)

1. Explain what TV advertising is.
TV advertising is marketing your product on television to your target market. Advertisers desire to provide messages to people who are interested in their products or services. For example you would broadcast a games advert on a children’s television channel and those children will use pester power to get their parents to buy the product for them. Adults would see the advert and it might appeal to them and make them want to buy the products for friends, family, or a partner; especially if the advert is relevant to the time of year (Christmas).

2. View three different contemporary TV adverts and list three key characteristics of them. 
  • Love
  • Friendship
  • Sharing/Giving
