Advertising Strategies

Advertising is the biggest and best way to sell a product because

advertisements are viewed all over the world. Advertisers are very

smart with how they choose to portray themselves as a company and how

they want the product to be seen by people. The ways that people view

products is greatly varied dependent upon the types of advertising the

company uses, some companies appeal to one type of person and

therefore concentrate on that one group of people, an example of this

would be medication for help preventing heart disease and/or slimming

the risk that a person has of suffering from a heart attack.

The power of advertising has grown largely over the past twenty years

and companies are now realising that different methods of advertising

suit different types of people, from the rich down to the not so well

off.

The people who purchase the products that companies are selling are

split into a number of groups including:

The aspirer, people who are most likely to succeed and choose to spend

lavishly on cars, radios and other luxury items that make them feel

more important, owns their own home/apartment and is very often

single.

-And-

The mainstreamer who is seen as a normal everyday person who often has

children and is married, chooses how to spend money wisely and either

owns or rents their home, mainstreamers also often drive family cars.

Imagery is also one of the main parts of advertising which is used

often in an attempt to make people see products differently and

sometimes make people more eager to buy a product, for example ferrero

rocher is portrayed in it’s advertisements as being ...

... middle of paper ...

...h pair of

glasses cost’s, a small bit of text explaining how the lenses react to

the different weather conditions and also how it takes the lenses just

“30 seconds” to change and protect the users eyes more than normal

glasses.

At the bottom of the advertisement is a voucher which claims a free

eye test for the reader but in smaller text, which is often not read

by most people, explains that to claim the offer properly the reader

must purchase a “complete pair of glasses”.

So to conclude, this advertisement is an even mix of both text and

pictures, the advertisement takes up a smaller amount of space then

all other advertisements that I have chosen to write about, I

personally do not like this advertisement because it uses a voucher to

help to sell products but has small text to in a way trick the reader.
