Product placement
Product placement is one of the most important techniques in marketing especially in the past few years, where the media has played an essential role in forming people's opinion. As many people believe in all what they see because of the significant role of the media, product placement reaches its goals. However, the effectiveness of product placement varies according to numerous criteria, from how it is integrated to how it is used to show the product and whether it is intrusive or not. In the study article " The Effectiveness of Product Placement: The Influence of Product Placement towards Consumer Behavior of the Millennial Generation " by Liew Chee and Elizabeth Lim, the issue of product placement and its influence on a specific category of consumer is discussed. The study aims mainly to form a general idea about how effective the product placement could be to influence the millennial generation and sway their decisions. Liew and Lim made a valuable and professional study article that involves an interesting perspective regarding product placement through a good arrangement of ideas and a methodological study.

To consider the power of marketing execution (e.g., product placement) versus traditional media planning strategy. How does this new marketing approach affect shifts in brand image?
In the most advantageous of cases this model suggests that a receiver “considers the content of the persuasive message carefully and has favorable thoughts about the content” (Enfante, Rancer & Avtgis, 2010, p. 172). When receivers engage in cognitive thinking, they participate in the type of persuasion the authors call the “central route” (Enfante, Rancer & Avtgis, 2010, p. 172). Under the central route, the receiver employs positive feelings towards whatever the source is saying and then in turn acts or forms attitudes based off of the positive thoughts. Thus they interact thoughtfully with the information the source is attempting to get across.
Persuasion is the force exerted to influence behavior that includes a reflected change in attitude. Everyday we are bombarded with messagesfrom people who wish to influence our behavior and attitudes. Persuasion canbe used to accomplish good as well as bad, though, in my paper I willrefrain from making value judgements and only report the factual aspects. I will discuss the two basic routes to persuasion, the elements involved, andways to protect current attitudes and behaviors from change. When trying to persuade someone, there are two different methods from which to choose-the central and peripheral routes. The central route persuades by usingdirect arguments and pertinent information. The peripheral route persuadespeople by association with incidental cues

Persuasion is an important aspect of communication, certainly a significant business activity. Regardless of whether this comes in the form of a sender influencing a party or the receiver itself is being influenced. Typically, this could come in the form of a salesman or, even a manager communicating with key stakeholders, such as potential investors.
We get an idea of how products work, so by representing a safe and accessible product audiences are likely to remember it. A study found 7% of audiences find the soap more enjoyable with product placement (ITV/Nielsen Corona&on St Study 2010). However, this can be seen to exploit the audience and play upon their naivety to digest the advertisement and react to it. ITV justify this by claiming ‘products are show cased within natural settings more relatable to viewers, providing inspiration, or in some cases, validation for purchase choices’ (ITV plc
Studies have also proven that product placement has become an effective and powerful method of advertising brands and products to audiences. In particular, if someone were to purchase a product, it may be due to the fact that it was in the movies, and that they enjoyed the movie so much that it convinced them to buy that product, regardless of their opinions on that product before it was presented in the film. Product placement has its advantages, as it can be relevant to the film’s storyline and characters and also tell a story with the product itself. However, product placement can also have its disadvantages, as the placement of certain products in films may be irrelevant to the film, as some companies will request movie producers to find a way to use their products in their scenes. In this case, it will possibly appear as though that they are just displaying the product for show, and not integrating it with the plot and characters. Since product placement in films became more relevant in the 1980s, films from the 1980s and forward were analyzed by examining the branded products influence after the film’s release and

Advertising has been defined as the most powerful, persuasive, and manipulative tool that firms have to control consumers all over the world. It is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. Its impacts created on the society throughout the years has been amazing, especially in this technology age. Influencing people’s habits, creating false needs, distorting the values and priorities of our society with sexism and feminism, advertising has become a poison snake ready to hunt his prey. However, on the other hand, advertising has had a positive effect as a help of the economy and society.
