Commercials And Persuasive Techniques Used By Gillette

Decent Essays
After viewing several commercials and analyzing the persuasive techniques that were used, I found the Gillette razor commercial to be the best at influencing its target audience. For example, when the commercial says the these athletes are a phenom and the the razor is a phenom so the pros use it. As a another example, how the world is mine song, that is implying that if you use the razor you can be on top of the world. This commercial uses the testimonial technique to target men. They use athletes such as tiger woods to make you think that they use the razor and you should too. The commercial also says that if you use the razor you can look phenomenal. It also shows the athletes playing with world, which is kind of saying that using the product

    Advertisements are deceiving; cigarette companies use them to target consumers of different social statuses, race, and ages. The majority of the ads portray an image that makes the consumer believe that if they use their product they will look or be as happy as the person shown in the ad. Yet many ads do not show the side effect that their product can have or the effect it can cause on the consumers health. For example in my ad, it tries to convince young adults to buy Newport cigarettes. The ad targets young adults of all races, making them believe that if they smoke Newport cigarettes they will look as healthy, have a good time, and be cool around their friends and peers when in reality it is not true, therefore this ad is ineffective.…

    In Jib Fowles’s essay “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals” he exclaims that, “Human beings, it is presumed, walk round with a variety of unfulfilled urges and motives swirling in the bottom half of their minds” (Fowles Par. 2). With this being said, advertisers appeal to their consumers through these subconscious urges. For example, in the Silverado “strong” ad, Chevy displays their Silverado truck being driven around by hard working Americans, and it also shows families together. Also, there is a song…

    Did you know that the average person sees about 5,000 ads a day! That is about 5 a minute! In this new consumer market companies are constantly fighting one another for customers and looking for any angle that can make them stand out. This means that companies need to make their advertisements memorable because if they don’t they will quickly be forgotten about and the ad would be a waste of money. However, once they have your attention then they can make their pitch and hopefully sell you on buying new insurance or a politicians vote.…

    In the t.v. genre, commercials are created with the intended purpose of grabbing the audience’s attention and drawing focus to the product being advertised. Commercials can attract a person’s attention with a plethora of devices such as a catchy jingle, flashy pictures, and an upbeat intro with a memorable slogan ( i.e. “Shamwow!”). In Wells Fargo’s “Learning Sign Language” a lesbian couple is seen practicing sign-language, incorporating into their daily routines. The commercial wraps up with the couple being introduced to a young girl for the first time, and it turns out the young girl is being adopted by the women and she is deaf, validating why the moms-to-be were shown learning ASL.…

    Advertisements are all around us, they have become part of our everyday life. This makes it easier to not pay any attention to them. Since we really are not paying attention to advertisements, it makes the companies who make these ads work harder to get our attention. I have compared two advertisements, although both advertisements are not selling the same, or even similar products, I believe the way they are relaying the message is something they have in common.…

    In large, all capital, bold letters the ad reads, “EXTRAORDINARY VOLUME FEELS LIKE 2X MORE HAIR.” The ad claims that the audience with look like they will have twice as much hair than they actually do. How could a woman who does not like how thin their hair is not be immediately drawn in and intrigued? Just after the word “hair” there is a very tiny asterisk that can be very easily missed. The asterisk goes down to the bottom, to the fine print, and reads, “Based on consumer study.”…

    Sex is also a popular approach in which the company promoting the product can target a specific gender. Moreover, showing a uniqueness of a product is another approach an advertiser can take for a commercial.
