Personally, I had noticed that most ads used a combination of humor and logic to really make a person want a product. Some ads obviously show this more, some less. Two ads that I had found that worked fairly well were, Skittles “Portrait” ,and Honda “Cog”. The ad that I found that worked the best, would be Skittles “Portrait”, uses humor as the strongest benefit. In the beginning Steve Tyler walks into a room with a portrait of himself that can talk, then of which proceeds to say, “Dream on”, in different tones, until it gets so high pitched that the portrait explodes into a pile of skittles. Then the usual “Taste the Rainbow” background appeared and says “Rock the Rainbow, Taste the Rainbow”. I think that we think that things exploding or live things exploding is funny. This only shows that humor not the logic of course, of which is shown with the ending basically saying that Skittles are so crazy and amazing that they can cause anything to happen. This shows that Skittles can show that humor and logic do infact, make you really want their product. …show more content…
This advertisement has a cog start a huge chain reaction that causes some of the car’s functions to activate, like automatic foldable chairs, Automatic opener for window, Automatic windshield wipers that react when water comes into contact. The humor isn’t as powerful here, but it shows more so as awe in the fact that they had made such a complicated machine. And the logic is very strong as it creatively shows how each part of the car works. Thus proving that the advertisement Honda “Cog” shows that humor and logic work well together in advertisements. The last two paragraphs show prove my claim. They do this in many ways, like having humor and having some form of proving how they are good products. My claim being that humor and logic work well together to make people want and like a
For many years, companies have utilized advertising as a useful tool to promote their brands, convey a message, or sell their products. In today’s world, advertisements can be seen almost everywhere from enormous billboards along highways to a diminutive ads on a phone. But not all advertisements are successful. To convey a message, advertisements must contain rhetorical devices such as pathos, logos, and ethos. A good example of how rhetorical devices are used to persuade an audience is the Edward Jones “Nine Days” commercial.
What makes an advertisement successful? There are many different methods that brands use in order to promote their products, with some undoubtedly drawing more attention than others. One of the most memorable strategies that a company can use is creating a character that people will automatically associate with a certain business. International and extremely lucrative companies such as McDonalds have found success in this strategy, with the image of Ronald McDonald being able to bring the restaurant to mind. Similarly, Dos Equis has created a character that is synonymous with the product itself.
An ad that a majority have seen and remembered is the “Taste the Rainbow” campaign from Skittles advertisements. They are strange, quirky, and get everyone’s attention with their strong visuals. Additionally, as a large, well-known brand Skittles is quite reputable, giving them a large amount of credibility. Their great success is likely due to their great use of ethos, pathos, and logos in their advertisements. Overall, the ethos of the campaign is one of fun, creativity, and individuality.
According to the video, “#BestBuds” (Anomaly 2014) and the logo of Budweiser are the only text that is included in the commercial. The text informs the audience of who the Clydesdales belong to and what the commercial is for. Simple text is effective because instead of blowing logos everywhere, Budweiser keeps it simple and sweet causing a sense of surprise and admiration. The large expanse of emotions felt by the audience ties together to the overall effect of heart-stopping cuteness leads to purchase of Budweiser
The last way the writer persuades the audience to make the commercial effective is through logical reasoning and well-thought-out situations. The writer did not exaggerate advertising. However, the writer used a logical situation that would keep the audience’s attention and allow them to see the product multiple times within the commercial. For example, if the writer of the commercial stood in a room and said buy our Chevy truck there would not be many people interested in the product. However, the writer used a logical situation, a dog and a young boy, to interest the audience and keep them guessing what the commercial is about.
Rhetorical strategies including pathos, ethos, and logos are stylistic elements often used as a persuasion technique to get an audience to either buy a product or participate in something. Advertisements almost always have at least one of these three components, and Super Bowl commercials specifically are renowned for their entertaining use of these strategies. Of the many Super Bowl commercials, two stood out to me for their in-depth use of all three of these rhetorical strategies. The first commercial combines the extreme measures taken by an overprotective dad and the new Hyundai Genesis. These two seemingly unlike ideas are brought together in a collaboration that effectively use pathos, ethos, and logos to prove the audience of their product.
The automotive industry uses advertisements and hundreds of types of persuasive techniques to sell you their vehicles. In the Ford advertisement that I chose, a large red truck is driving down the road during a rain storm. The words “It’s simple. BURN LESS FUEL. Burn less cash.”
In the “Eat Mor Chikin” ad released by Chick Fil A viewers see a humorous trio of cows protesting against the consumption of beef-based products. The three cows are somewhat imitating humans by standing on two legs while holding very large signs on their bodies similar to protestors for organizations such as PETA (people for ethical treatment of animals). On each sign you can clearly see that the cows are attempting to spell “Eat More Chicken,” however each word is either misspelled or very badly written due to the fact that cows don’t have hands or a very high IQ. This image depicts each cow with a very stern look on their faces which clearly shows that they are each fed up with the consumption of cows and would rather let the chickens suffer. ‘
Therefore, create effective ads that have the potential to entice your targeted audience using bright colored images relevant to your product or service and it should be well optimized to display properly for the prospects to compel them to make an action. Add enticing features in your ads such as special offers or call-to-action phrases like sign-up, free registration or download option etc. Every aspect of your ad should give clear information and make the prospects click on your ads rather than making them to guess about what your company or service offers them.

These advertisements are created in a way that capture’s the audience’s attention and makes them want to purchase the product. In specific, the ad “It’s Beautiful” and “Taste the Feeling of Summer with Coca Cola” are only two of multiple others that sells their product successfully with the use of the rhetorical appeals:
The Onion In modern society, consumers are flooded with advertisements as they move along in their daily lives; advertisements displayed on billboards and magazines, the internet and social media, and television and radio. Many companies utilize different rhetorical techniques to appeal to their audience by extending their product and its capabilities. When viewing advertisements you can see the exaggeration and hyperbolic quality some create. Some advertisements are so exaggerated that they become humorous in a sense. An article from The Onion, a satiric newspaper, displays the unintended humor that is captured within some advertisements.
Two super bowl commercials that were very persuasive were the Buick commercial and the Kia Niro commercial. These two commercials were both trying to sell cars. The Kia Niro commercial starred Melissa Mccarthy, but the Buick commercial starred Cam Newton and Miranda Kerr. Both of these commercials were very persuasive in trying you to get someone to buy a car. Both of these commercials played on your emotions, but weren't very informative.
Advertisements are everywhere, on television, radio, social media, billboards, magazines, and even on yearbooks. On the other hand, would it not be nice if every advertisement an individual saw, read, or heard were actually true? Like using Axe body spray really did attract women or eating Snickers truly made one satisfied in seconds? Yet, most of the time the advertisements that seem too good to be true, actually are. In fact, countless of ads are only slightly true and instead filled with many common errors in reasoning, known as logical fallacies, a sneaky marketing technique companies utilize to trick a consumer into giving them their undivided attention and money.
Have You Been Brain Washed? Have you ever looked at an advertisement and pictured yourself using the product that was being advertised, to than actually being interested in purchasing that product? Well that was their goal, advertisers have mastered the market industry by being aware of the fact that us humans are very concerned with our image. Advertisers know that we have a greater chance of buying a product if we can picture ourselves how we would like to be portrayed of course with the help of their product. In ads, companies want to provide an image that can be relatable to the viewers and what would want to appeal to them.
This is the comparison of the benefits offered by a company's product to its customers relative to the price it asks customers to pay. To do this, companies can influence the value proposition in one of two ways mainly. This can be done through long term brand building. They can also offer a relatively low cost to enhance value. Ultimately, the key is that customers perceive that the product's merits exceedingly justify its price.
