History of Advertising
Since the 1950’s they have
discovered many interesting things
about people. They say people can be sold on 3 of the following different levels.
1.Subconsciouspeople can act without knowing why.
Advertising at this level is subliminal and can be a matter of message or of
process. Generally, the message form is legal; the process form can be illegal
2.Emotionalpeople are not always, or even usually, rational
beings. Advertising on this level caters
to the longings, fear, desires, and
prejudices of people. It does not have to
be factual and reasonable
3.Intellectual
advertising must, at this
level, be factual and reasonable.
We very rarely operate
at this level
They began to combine color, sound, visuals, and message with
out desires and needs and it becomes very difficult for us to not
be affected by advertising.
Selling by association
Present something universally appealing and associate a product with it. People then buy for the associated value.
Under this heading comes the concept that “sex sells”. It also works for
the “status seeker”
SELLING BY WORKING ON FEARS
All people have secret fears, consciously or
subconsciously. These include the dear of being
sick, ugly, old, or unpopular. Promise a
release and the product will sell – frequently used in cosmetics, soft drinks, and
hair-care products.
Selling by creating needsNew products frequently are not particularly
necessary in our society, advertising sells one on the absolute necessity of having the product.
Selling that distorts the truthThese ads do not lie, they deliver a
message in some way that leads the viewer/listener to a conclusion that may not be the entire truth. This is often used in commercials for health-care products.
1.They must use the product2. since they use it, it must be
worthwhile.3. image of a personality or word of authority to sell, not the merits of the
product
Appealing to reason
Not as frequently seen, these
commercials treat the consumer as an
intelligent person who can be sold on
the basis of fact. These use honesty
and frankness
HISTORY OF INVENTIONSAND PRODUCTS
THEN & NOW
May, 1886, Coca Cola was invented by Doctor John Pemberton a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. The name was a suggestion given by John Pemberton's bookkeeper
Frank Robinson.
Being a bookkeeper, Frank Robinson also had excellent penmanship. It was he who first scripted “Coca-Cola" into the flowing letters which
has become the famous logo of today.
Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses,
so the first year of sales were a loss.
IPODWas invented on October 2001, offering
