ADVERTISING
TECHNIQUES
COMMON
PERSUASIVE
TECHNIQUES
USED IN THE
MEDIA
2.4 Learning Targets:
1. Identify advertising techniques in advertisements.
2. Write an expository response describing the effectiveness of advertising techniques
in an advertisement.
Advertisers use persuasive advertising techniques to
make people want to purchase their products.
There is a cause and effect relationship in advertising. For
example, in bandwagon, “ Everyone is buying this product
(cause), so you should buy this product too (effect).” With
the avant-garde appeal, it might be, “This product is the
newest on the market (cause), and you should be one of
the first to have it (effect).
Your task:
After you learn about each technique,
paraphrase what that means to you and
create a visual representation of that
technique; you may include both words and
symbols in the visualization.
BANDWAGON
Advertisers make it seem that everyone is
buying this product, so you feel you should buy
it, too. For example an ad for a new video
game may claim: “The ultimate on-line game is
sweeping the nation! Everyone is playing! Join
the fun!” This statement is intended to make
you feel left out if you are not playing.
Avant-Garde
This technique is the opposite of bandwagon.
Advertisers make it seem that the product is
so new that you will be the first on the block
to have it. This idea is that only supercool
people like you will even know about this
product.
TESTIMONIAL
Advertisers use both celebrities and regular
people to endorse products. For example a
famous actor might urge consumers to buy a
certain car. Pay close attention: sometimes
the celebrity does not actually say that he or
she actually uses the product.
Facts and Figures
Statistics, percentages, and numbers are
used to convince you that this product is
better or more effective than another
product. However, be aware of what the
numbers are actually saying. What does
“30 percent more effective than the
leading brand” really mean?
TRANSFER
To recognize this technique, pay attention to
the background of the ad or to the story of the
commercial. The transfer technique wants you
to associate the good feelings created in the
ad with the product. For example, a
commercial showing a happy family eating
soup may want you to associate a feeling of
comfort and security with their soup products.
