Since the beginning of media and advertising, marketers have employed subtle tactics to attract a more diverse customer base. In Jib Fowles essay, “Advertising's Fifteen Basic Appeals”, he discusses the fifteen appeals advertisers use to engage the consumer’s interest in buying their products. These different advertising techniques are directed towards a target audience; including males, females, elders, and teenagers. However, in some cases, the Carls Jr ad being analyzed has multiple audiences; primarily the male and female audiences. The male audience is more influenced by the sex appeal in the ad (i.e., the use of a model and suggestive wording), meanwhile the female audience is more influenced by the desire for attention and acceptance.
In the text Advertisements R Us by Melissa Rubin, the author educates and goes into depth on how advertisements are designed to persuade the audience to do something. It seems that advertisers incorporate certain texts or images in their ads to target a specific group of people that they are trying to sell something to. Theoretically, people are more prone to buy or do something, if they see an ad that sparks their interest. This is where companies tailor their ads to be more interesting and expressive towards the audience they are trying to advertise to by incorporating details that would help target. It is possible to analyze an advertisement to determine who they are targeting and what message they are trying to give off based off the context
In Advertisements R Us by Melissa Rubin, she analyzes how advertisements appeal to its audience and how it reflects our society. Rubin describes a specific Coca-Cola ad from the 1950’s that contains a “Sprite Boy”, a large -Cola Coca vending machine, a variety of men, ranging from the working class to members of the army, and the occasional female. She states that this advertisement was very stereotypical of society during that decade and targeted the same demographic: white, working-class males- the same demographic that the Coca-Cola factories employed.
Advertisements: Exposed When viewing advertisements, commercials, and marketing techniques in the sense of a rhetorical perspective, rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos heavily influence the way society decides what products they want to purchase. By using these strategies, the advertisement portrayal based on statistics, factual evidence, and emotional involvement give a sense of need and want for that product. Advertisements also make use of social norms to display various expectations among gender roles along with providing differentiation among tasks that are deemed with femininity or masculinity. Therefore, it is of the advertisers and marketing team of that product that initially have the ideas that influence
Arzanagh and Danaei, (2013) confirmed that there is a considerable relationship among the advertisements and consumer’s attention, interest, desire, and action when the significance level is controlled to one percent. Arzanagh and Danaei , (2013) also found out a specific correlation between the four different factors of attention, interest, desire and action (Arzanagh & Danaei, 2013) Arzanagh and Danaei, (2013) observed that advertisements on TV has the upper hand in all other advertising methods on getting attention of the consumer, billboard advertising have the second place and lastly comes paper advertisement (magazine and newspaper) which is the least effective method to for gaining attention of the customer (Arzanagh & Danaei, 2013). Arzanagh and Danaei, (2013) surveyed that for attracting buyers’
Advertisements have been used throughout generations to persuade the viewer to purchase the product that the company is trying to sell. However, some companies appeal to the emotions instead of trying to sell the product itself. Companies have the ability to persuade the opinions of the reader and make an advertisement that can be mesmerizing. Advertisements have helped the awareness of what a products good for or how it is better than the other retailers product. As Jeremy Bradley states “Advertising can help your business to increase its value and build its reputation” (Bradley, Jeremy.
Advertisement plays a big role in our society and it’s a way of attracting people ‘s attention. For instance, McDonald’s website illustrates a vision of focus, perspectives and colors to approach the audience in a way of selling products only using three methods. These methods are logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos is an argument or form based on a logic, pathos make appeals based on emotions and ethos is the form or appeal of character or credibility. Using these three methods is a way to analysis how McDonalds persuade, inform, and reminder in advertisement.
Advertising has been around for decades and has been the center point for buyers by different subjects peaking different audience’s interests. Advertisers make attempts to strengthen the implied and unequivocal messages in trying to manipulate consumers’ decisions. Jib Fowles wrote an article called “Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals,” explaining where he got his ideas about the appeals, from studying interviews by Henry A. Murray. Fowles gives details and examples on how each appeal is used and how advertisements can “form people’s deep-lying desires, and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for” (552). The minds of human beings can be influenced by many basic needs for example, the need for sex, affiliation, nurture,

Visual presentation of an Advertisement with Regard to Its Persuasive Potential Advertisement, as previously investigated, has to draw one’s attention and promote particular product.

Advertising is a form of propaganda that plays a huge role in society and is readily apparent to anyone who watches television, listens to the radio, reads newspapers, uses the internet, or looks at a billboard on the streets and buses. The effects of advertising begin the moment a child asks for a new toy seen on TV or a middle aged man decides he needs that new car. It is negatively impacting our society. To begin, the companies which make advertisements know who to aim their ads at and how to emotionally connect their product with a viewer. For example, “Studies conducted for Seventeen magazine have shown that 29 percent of adult women still buy the brand of coffee they preferred as a teenager, and 41 percent buy the same brand of mascara”
Targeted Advertising: Helpful or Hurtful? Technology has challenged the rules of privacy, and people are questioning if privacy is a necessity anymore. Technology, specifically apple products such as iPhones, is a need in many people’s lives, and they cannot imagine not being able to check their phones for the weather or to ask Siri to find the closest restaurant. Unfortunately, people do not realize companies use technology for targeted advertising, which is an invasion of privacy. An invasion of privacy is when people’s private information is used to influence them and is given to other people or companies unknowingly.
(Niazi et al 2012) A survey was conducted on effective advertisement and how it impacts consumers buying behaviour.

When the purchasing power of a consumer changes, it affects the purchasing level too side by side.
