Advertisements are mainly focused on certain groups of people. These groups of people range from kids to adults and health freaks to junkie freaks. But the most important part of advertising is to draw attention from the consumers to buy their product. The food industry has made many attempts to advertise as many different ways so they can possibly get the consumers to buy their products. Through commercials on televisions and radios, advertising in the newspapers and magazines, advertising has made it possible for most people to go in the restaurant or store and to buy their products.

There are a lots and lots of advertises that contains a bit of exaggeration, sex and a message to make the consumer feel an association going on by using or buying that product.

... I think I'd go for the product that I've just seen on the television rather than judging whether should I go buy that product that I just saw on television or the ones that I believe might be better. Television does a lot more to consumers when it comes to advertisement. Business industries spend a lot of money on how to make the commercial more convincing to views out there. These days a lot of computer graphics are used on advertisement to amaze the viewers. The most important goal that advertisement contains is to attract the viewers first. Getting the viewer's attention on that product is the first and main goal for the company. Television advertises is one of the most effective ways to advertise to viewers because television is all about watching and listening. No need to concentrate on the words unlike neither the radios nor the news paper or magazines. Television advertisement is the easiest way to view advertisement. People actually feel a lot more comfortable watching company's advertisement. What people see with their eyes is what they are most likely to be attracted, therefore a lots of advertisement contains cool and entertaining stories or effects when advertising.
It’s clear that those advertisements try to make an impact on our buying decisions. We can even say they manipulate viewers by targeting specific group of people or categorizing them so they could have a feeling this product is intended for them or what he or she represents. For instance, they use gender stereotypes. Advertises make use of men and woman appearance or behavior for the sake of making the message memorable. Therefore, most effective and common method is to represent a woman as a sexual object. They are linked with home environment where being a housewife or a mother is a perfect job for the. In other hand men are used more as work done representations. They are associated with power, leadership and efficiency. Those stereotypes make the consumer categorize themselves and reveals the mainstream idea of social status each gender needs to be to fit in and what products they are necessary to have to be part of that
This thought has been held on for far too long. In a consumer-driven society, advertisements invade the minds of every person who owns any piece of technology that can connect to the internet. Killbourne observes that “sex in advertising is pornographic because it dehumanizes and objectifies people, especially women,” (271). Advertising takes the societal ideology of women and stereotypes most kids grow up learning and play on the nerves of everyone trying to evoke a reaction out of potential customers, one that results in them buying products.
Whether recognized or not, advertisements play a significant role on the way in which consumers make choices. Though society as a whole may not recognize the impact of advertising, commercials and good billboards are still noticed and enjoyed. Even colors are used a way in which to catch the eye of the consumer.
There are different classes, for example, out-of-home, in-store and other, for example, silver screen and shows however these different classes are additionally in nature as they are more constrained in the group of onlookers they reach or can target (Baines and Fill, 2014). TV and radio offer the chance to achieve mass groups of onlookers. It is frequently thought to be costly however because of the huge mass that can be achieved it is a moderately ease and given that it is visual or potentially solid based the interchanges can be brought to life keeping in mind the end goal to pass on the marketing message. Both TV and radio can recount stories and offer to feelings which is harder to do with print based media. Broadcast television can exhibit the product being used however once publicized it can't be referred to again by the consumer not at all like print which can be kept. There are expanding dangers to the viability of television advertising today as individuals can utilize their chronicle advancements to abstain from watching promotions. In the meantime changes in advanced innovations imply that expenses are falling thus even television broadcast can start to be custom-made to littler gatherings of people who can be targeted by land region or specific vested parties (Jobber and Ellis-Chadwick, 2013). There are clear signs that television networks are starting to give careful consideration to the watcher grumblings about the degree of advertising with numerous networks, for example, CBS, Fox, MTV and digital TV as a rule now indicating either bring down minutes every hour in advertisements or the development in minutes every hour backing off. This will expand the cost of advertising as there will be less time and space accessible yet it might
We live in a fast paced society that is ruled by mass media. Every day we are bombarded by images of, perfect bodies, beautiful hair, flawless skin, and ageless faces that flash at us like a slide show. These ideas and images are embedded in our minds throughout our lives. Advertisements select audience openly and subliminally, and target them with their product. They allude to the fact that in order to be like the people in this advertisement you must use their product. This is not a new approach, nor is it unique to this generation, but never has it been as widely used as it is today. There is an old saying 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' and what better way to tell someone about a product than with all one thousand words, that all fit on one page. Take for example this ad for Hennessy cognac found in Cosmopolitan, which is a high, priced French liquor. This ad is claiming in more ways than one that Hennessy is an upscale cognac and is 'appropriately complex' as well as high-class liquor. There are numerous subliminal connotations contingent to this statement.
Advertisements are everywhere, combining images and words together to create a message to sell a product. The initial impression is that the advertisers are just trying to sell their products, but there often seems to be an underlying message. It is often heard that “sex sells.” So, many advertisers will use beautiful women and men in their advertisements to try to market a product. The hope is that “sex will sell,” and people will go out and buy what the ads are selling. There are many advertisements and commercials that use this approach. Prime examples of this are the advertisements for Orbit Gum and A Diamond is Forever. Also, the commercials for Levi jeans use sex to promote the sale of their brand. As a way to explain how and why the media uses “sex to sell,” many articles have been written concerning this. For instance, “Sex as Symbol in Fashion Advertising” by Arthur Asa Berger talks about the sexual undertones used in ads as a way to sell products. Similarly, Jean Kilbourne’s “Beauty…and the Beast of Advertising” discusses the portrayal of women in advertisements as sex objects. Finally, “Analyzing Signs and Sign Systems” by Arthur Asa Berger offers ways to analyze advertisements and their use of sex. No matter what the advertisement is for; although it may seem that an advertiser is only trying to sell a product, the ways the advertisements are presented often have a hidden meaning.

Common sense seems to dictate that commercials just advertise products. But in reality, advertising is a multi-headed beast that targets specific genders, races, ages, etc. In “Men’s Men & Women’s Women”, author Steve Craig focuses on one head of the beast: gender. Craig suggests that, “Advertisers . . . portray different images to men and women in order to exploit the different deep seated motivations and anxieties connected to gender identity.” In other words, advertisers manipulate consumers’ fantasies to sell their product. In this essay, I will be analyzing four different commercials that focuses on appealing to specific genders.

Advertisements are part of my everyday life I see them everywhere throughout my day. They are in magazines, television, billboards, and outside of businesses. Some of my favorite advertisements are during the super bowl. Hayakawa says: “The best advertising, however, is thought about, laughed over, and acted upon by multitudes” (p. 135). The super bowls commercial are usually funny, and they make me laugh, which also makes me think about them. I feel that is the general purpose of an advertisement is to get people's attention while making impressions that people can remember.
