Target Advertisement Analysis

As I was walking through the halls of the different departments in Target, I saw a great amount of advertising on items in order to catch the customers attention. This ads were placed all over the store in order to have the ability to pursue the customers to purchases that certain item or attend to certain place or department in the store. As I looked around the stores, out of the many ads I chose the ones that popped out and caught my attention. The following were ads around the Target Store: a man wearing a Batman shirt, the Make-Up section with the Target logo drawn by make-up products, Betty Crocker Supreme brownie mix, Starbucks ads, halloween ads, Mickey Mouse Huggies Pampers, Target’s annual Flu Shot, a lady wearing an Hollister cardigan and a Micheal Kors bag, the Aunt Jamima pancake mix, and finally the sport department in Target advertised by a young lady dressed nicely, wearing shades and holding a basket ball with a finger.

As I first enter the store, the first thing I saw was a man walking around with his batman shirt.

This caught my attention for the reason that people are willing to walk around town wearing their favorite character shirt in order to give this certain figure the fame and attention it may deserve. This man’s shirt was only an example, they’re many more people that wear items representing their favorite action figure or locations they have travel to. What caught my attention was the matter of fact that this people will always take things to an extreme in order to share their likes and dislikes or share places they’ve attended to or would like to

attend.
The second things that caught my attention was the Mickey Mouse Huggies Pampers. This item really caught my attention due to the reason that it has a great affect on customers. As a parent who’s child likes a certain cartoon, as example Mickey Mouse, it would be more convenient to purchase this certain item to enthuse your children's perspective about wearing pampers. This method has been used for many centuries with all sort of designs to grab on to the customers attention and convince them of purchasing this certain design of pampers because your child would like and enjoy it more.
Finally, the third ad that caught my attention was the Sport department ad. This ad included a young attractive lady wearing a skirt with a see-through blouse, some sun glasses, heels and was rotating a basketball with her finger. This ad caught my attention in such a manner that it made me laugh, due to the reason that sports are the complete opposite of the message of ad. When a person plays whatever type of sports, they wont look good, they wont be dressed as if they were to attend to a party and most definitely they wont be wearing high heels. Although the message behind this ad is false, it attracts a good number of male customers to purchase anything from this department for the reason that this ad shows a pretty attractive girl “playing” basketball, which seems attractive to guys.
In conclusion, many ads that are seen around an area may or may not have a great attraction to others, it all depends in the manner the ad is displaced and where it’s displaced at.
