Smilansky (2009) also affirmed that“life is all about “daily experiences”. Indeed, as an experience is considered as ‘real’, the customer will talk about it with the people he/she will see throughout the day or week. This is where brand awareness gets created and where brands have the opportunity to build long and trustworthy relationships with the users.” (Smilansky, 2009)
Nevertheless, Srivastava (2008) affirmed that creating an experience is way much more expensive than using traditional marketing techniques. This is why marketers must provide « unique and memorable experiences » in order to have an impact on the consumer physically and psychologically (Mutua 2016)
Moreover, many marketing techniques can be achieved in experiential marketing to enhance brand awareness comprising « events, product placement, sponsorship and brand communities » (Gentile et al., 2007). These techniques will have a direct effect on consumer’s perception in a very positive manner and allow more positive purchasing

Advertisements often employ many different methods of persuading a potential consumer. The vast majority of persuasive methods can be classified into three modes. These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic. This fascinating system of classification, first invented by Aristotle, remains valid even today. Let's explore how this system can be applied to a modern magazine advertisement.

Source likeability describes the degree of liking that the viewer has for a source in an advertisement. The concept of likeability may include the source being friendly, interesting, having a positive attitude, having empathy for others, etc. (Lecture 2/18). Popular celebrities work best for successful source likeability in advertising because they naturally will generate a higher attention rate from the target audience (Study #1). The two sources in the Bud Light Party advertisement are Seth Rogan and Amy Schummer, who are popular among the millennial generation for their crude, carefree comedy. These two comedians have done just about everything that is appealing to the millennial generation but would not be appealing to older generations. Therefore, the two of them as Bud Light’s sources for this advertisement will naturally make the millennial generation viewers pay attention to the content in the commercial. The millennial generation likes these comedians each for different reasons but overall they both give off positive moods, always seem friendly, and happy. Seth Rogan is known as an easygoing comedian who openly smokes weed a lot, whereas Amy Schummer is known for making crude, inappropriate jokes, which she demonstrated in this
Have you ever seen an advertisement for a product and could immediately relate to the subject or the product in that advertisement? Companies that sell products are always trying to find new and interesting ways to get buyers and get people’s attention. It has become a part of our society today to always have products being shown to them. As claimed in Elizabeth Thoman’s essay Rise of the Image Culture: Re-Imagining the American Dream, “…advertising offered instructions on how to dress, how to behave, how to appear to others in order to gain approval and avoid rejection”. This statement is true because most of the time buyers are persuaded by ads for certain products.

In the modern world of conducting business, any company that wishes to succeed must differentiate its products or services from others in the industry. Differentiation makes it possible for consumers to point out notable differences between one company’s products as compared to those of competitors. Differentiation helps companies build brand loyalty as the uniqueness keeps customers fixed on a particular product. BMW is one of the most popular automakers in the world today. It definitely uses differentiation as a strategy to beat off competition by building products that are innovative, detailed and incomparable to those of competitors.

Marketing professionals create, manage and/or enhance brands in order to create or bolster demand for the product. A successful marketing plan will help assure that consumers look beyond just the price or function of a product when making a purchasing decision, in part, a well planned marketing effort will create a “feel good” association about the product the consumer is about to purchase (Petty) A key part of a career in marketing is to understand the needs, preferences, and constraints that define the target group of consumers or the market niche corresponding to the brand. This is done by market research. This is accomplished through market research, essentially using survey techniques, statistics, psychology and social understanding to help gather information on what consumers want and/or need, and then designing products, or services, to hopefully meet ...
Even with commodities, there are quite a few parameters which brands can use to position themselves to capture a place in the consumer’s memory and consequently in their shopping basket. A few of the more widely accepted of them are: Consistency of Product Quality, Customization of the product to the extent possible, Providing a wider range of products, Identifying the most profit generating segments of the market and modifying or adding an offering to cater to their specific needs, Unique packaging, Emotional Branding and even basing branding on building a unique image to the extent of professing to have a brand personality. In fact focusing on getting consumers to build an emotional identification with the brand and its personality has a far longer lasting effect and builds far greater loyalty than focusing on just functional and utility attributes which a competitor would also able to easily match if not surpass.
Sensory branding affects the brain by engaging the sensory organs (taste, smell, sight, sound and touch). Brands can’t impart an an aroma via a television or newspaper. In fact, the unique aroma, texture and sound has very little to do with the performance of the product. However, these factors play a great role by the communication between consumer and product. The sensory stimulation not only attracts consumer decisions but also helps distinguish a product from others. These get linked in our memory and finally get a part of our choice.
Lastly, brand awareness is a crucial consideration. And It may be thought of as a consumers’ ability to find a brand within a group in adequate detail to make a purchase. It is important to remember that adequate detail does not always need identification of the brand name. Often “brand awareness is no more than a visual image of the package that stimulates a response to the brand.” Moreover, recall of the name is not necessarily required because brand awareness in which can try via brand recognition. According to Emma Macdonald and Byron Sharp (2003), suggested, when a brand is recognized at point of purchase, its brand awareness does not need brand recall. This is a major point in the consideration of brand awareness as the most important communication objective. In fact, the difference is misunderstood by marketing and advertising managers. The difficulty is to relate to the essential difference between recognition and recall, that is extremely important to advertising strategy. Brand recognition and brand recall are two separate types of brand awareness. The difference depends upon the communication effect that occurs primarily in the consumers’ memory.
According to Shimp (2007), there are five important factors which determine the purpose of advertisement in terms of marketers’ communication with consumers. He listed these five factors as follows: “(1) informing, (2) influencing, (3) reminding and increasing salience, (4) adding value, and (5) assisting other company efforts.” (p.246). To clarify that, the first most important aspect is informing people which means company needs to enhance the awareness of the consumer about their products by mentioning its advantages and features. Advertising also affect the products in two ways. Firstly, by basic demand, which build consumer desires for old products of the company and secondly, refers to a new brand of the company. In addition, effective advertising can retain consumer’s mind fresh about the image of a brand which develops the trace of the memory where consumers have to choose between two or more products. Moreover, it may change the product quality, create new, well-designed and elegant product and change consumers view towards the product. Lastly, by effective advertising program, company may save money and time as s...
