Advertising at Work
Advertising has four jobs: Attention : grabbing the public’s attention Image : it must establish a unique image. Personality creating associations,
needs, and desires for this product Reassure : reassure consumers who’ve already bought the product to maintain
customer loyalty Persuade : persuade new customers to buy the product
![Page 7: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How does advertising work?
Advertising works consciously
You already know you need something
Ads inform you of a product’s features, which you may find desirable
The next time you go to buy that item, you chose the brand you saw advertised
![Page 8: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How does advertising work?
Advertising creates a new need
The ad starts by convincing you that you need something you didn’t know you needed before
Then the ad shows that their product will fill that need
![Page 9: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How does advertising work?
Advertising works subconsciously
By creating a positive image or association in your brain, advertisers get you to “like” a product
The next time you shop, you unconsciously grab that product because of the positive association
![Page 10: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Advertising Techniques
Advertising uses several different, distinct techniques to create that positive association
Most ads use several techniques at once
![Page 11: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Advertising Techniques, cont.
1) Bandwagon
Everyone is doing it
The ad creates a positive connection by showing that the product/service/idea is widely used and widely accepted
Why would everyone be using it if it wasn’t the best?

9) Weasel Words
![Page 22: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
"Helps control dandruff symptoms with regular use." The weasels include "helps control," and possibly even "symptoms" and "regular use." The claim is not "stops dandruff."
"Leaves dishes virtually spotless." We have seen so many ad claims that we have learned to tune out weasels. You are supposed to think "spotless," rather than "virtually" spotless.
"Only half the price of many color sets." "Many" is the weasel. The claim is supposed to give the impression that the set is inexpensive.
"Listerine fights bad breath." "Fights," not "stops."
"Lots of things have changed, but Hershey's goodness hasn't." This claim does not say that Hershey's chocolate hasn't changed.
Weasel Words Examples

• Music and other sound FX add to the excitement of commercials, especially commercials aimed at kids. Those little jingles, that you just can't get out of your head, are another type of music used to make you think of a product.
• Have you ever noticed that the volume of commercials is higher than the sound for the program that follows?

What’s the big deal?
Advertising affects all of us, whether we realize it or not. It affects…
What we spend our money onWhat we find to be “cool”What we find attractiveHow we view genders, races, and other stereotypesOur health, happiness, and well-beingHow we think people should actOur culture in general
![Page 25: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So, How Should We Handle Advertising?
If you understand how an ad is supposed to work, you won’t be “tricked” into buying or believing things you don’t want to.
Throughout this unit, we will practice analyzing ads – we will try to figure out how they work and how they can affect you so you can make conscious choices.

View the Ad as a whole, consider: Your first impression of the ad
Its overall look
The target audience
![Page 28: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Determine the messageWhat atmosphere does it convey?
What people are in the ad?
Stereotypes? Body language?
Celebrity? Why use this person?
Is a story being told?
Does the content imply a certain lifestyle?
![Page 29: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Determine the messageMessage - what the ad communicates about the product, our culture, men,
women, class, race, etc. This message can have several characteristics such as:
implicit – implied or strongly suggested though not plainly expressed
explicit – expressly stated or conveyed, leaving nothing implied – this part of the message is definite and clear
![Page 30: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Examine the language used
Key words and phrases?
Claims?
What techniques are being used?
![Page 31: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What emotional hooks are used?
Will you remember the product or slogan?
Social values?
What social attitudes are indirectly reflected in the ad?
OVERALL – ASK THESE QUESTIONS
![Page 32: Intro to Advertising – Definitions and Techniques EMS3O – Mr. Richards.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c9d5503460f9495d59f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Print advertising – Exercise
Go through the magazines provided by Mr. Richards and identify the following elements:
• Who is the target audience? How do you know?
• What is the message? Discuss both the messages that are explicit or directly stated, and also the messages that are implicit – not directly stated.
• Finally – identify the type of advertising technique being used. Explain how the technique is being used and finally, whether you think it’s effective or not.
• You’ll be presenting to the class next period – so make sure you have detailed notes and that you are prepared!
• /5 understanding /5 clarity of speech, presentation technique
