...effectiveness of traditional TV commercials but also many arguments over the time of TV commercials among many advertisers and marketers around the world. To address this matter, Jeri Smith, president and CEO of advertising research firm Communicus, has recently published an editorial called “Screen Time” in the Marketing Insights. In her piece of writing, she strongly supports the role of traditional TV commercials within an overall integrated advertising campaign which targets mass audiences and clearly points out that TV commercials just need to evolve. In order to convince her target audiences, advertisers and marketers, in her epideictic argument, Jeri analyzes and evaluates the power of TV commercials compared with non – traditional media types. She appeals her audiences by adopting logos with supporting facts and data, making her persuasion even more powerful. Jeri opens her analysis by giving us a thorough background of current marketplace and her key observation on the performance of the traditional TV commercials today: “Interestingly, the traditional TV commercial is still around today, with U.S. marketers spending nearly $80 billion per year on TV advertising.” (para 1). This fact-oriented leading observation followed by more in-depth supporting facts successfully directs her readers to her strong statement without any doubt in mind. To further the persuasion, Jeri continues to discuss the unmatched power of traditional TV commercials versus other media types by praising...

...advertisements such as billboards, benches or commercials on TV and almost everywhere else we go. Our society is constantly influenced by advertising. While enthusiastic people work hard to create their masterpiece of a commercial, most people try to avoid them due to the inconvenience of them interrupting their favorite TV show. Today they have become a part of our life and the competition to produce an effective commercial is always booming. A reason for the widening of advertising is certainly the stressful expectation to produce a unique representation of a product that stands out in the market, as well as selling the product itself. TV commercials are used to attract the audience and the producers spend a lot of money and time to obtain the attention of the viewer. The most glamorous commercials I feel are certainly those of perfumes. That is why I chose to do this paper on two perfume TV commercials and examine the features that are used to produce an effective advertisement. One will be a TV commercial of 1962 that deals with the perfume “Young Love” while the other represents the “Chanel No.5 “production of 2006. These are chosen to point out the difference with regard to the use of visuals and text that are important for the development of a commercial. A TV commercial usually consists of text, visuals and sometimes incorporates music. All these features seem to be essential for the success of an advertisement. In the TV commercial Young Love a lot of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos...

...MARKETING DEBATE—Has TV Advertising Lost Power? Long deemed the most successful advertising medium, television advertising has received increased criticism as being too expensive and, even worse than, no longer as effective as it once was. Critics maintain that consumers tune out too many ads by zipping and zapping and that is difficult to make a strong impression. The future, claim some, is with online advertising. Supporters of TV advertising disagree, contending that the multisensory impact of TV is unsurpassed and that no other media option offers the same potential impact. Take a position: 1. TV advertising has faded in importance 2. TV advertising is still the most powerful advertising medium. In my personal opinion the answer is no. Advertising over television on trusted networks is one of the best ways to still build brand recognition and trust. Even Internet giants have all benefited immensely from the use of television media. Remember Yahoo and Google commercials? This trend will not die, not anytime soon at least. To increase views of commercials of entertainment value the other Medias such as Internet have allowed for them to become viral and increase effectiveness via online video. 1. Marketing managers must begin with an identified target market and the strategic direction of the brand before choosing the advertising program. The selection of TV advertising as the medium should be as a function of: the mission, money, message, media...

...perception by vividly visualizing the benefits of their product. MyCorp needs to reposition their product closer to people’s eyes and easier on their pockets. MyCorp should strategically partner with cable and satellite providers to streamline their product. “Program your own network” Besides the idea that consumers are not ready to believe that they can program a TV network themselves, the proposed positioning tagline also undermines TV network providers. The proposed commercial with a Network Executive thrown out of the window could also be perceived as offensive to network providers. For such a revolutionary product to win the mass market, consumers need to experience MyCorp in action. MyCorp puts the programs under the consumer’s control, unleashing the power of what the TV brings to your viewing experience. “MyCorp, unleash the power of your TV.” People are more likely to appreciate the idea of unleashing the power of their TVs than a complex idea of programming their own network. It is not offensive to network providers and emphasizes on the potential of your TV which everyone already owns. For instance, a TV...

On rare occasions, and add might actually contain useful information, but generally it is merely a distraction. Advertising is bad if it makes you focus on something trivial when you could be focusing on something important. The cynical advertising companies that turnout low end advertising are aware of the problem, and do everything in their power to make trivial things seem important to viewers. It should be comical when we see actors in a TV commercial acting like it matters what kind of toothpaste someone uses, but at some level your mind accepts such impossibilities as legitimate when they're presented frequently. At a minimum, such banal advertising consumes our conscious minds focus when it could be focusing on something that matters. Problem two: appeal to your mind's basest motives. Cynical advertising companies use sexually provocative ads to sell everything from lingerie to hamburgers. These ads are bad for your brain because they appeal to your minds least worthy motives.

...in public where a lot of people can hear and watch. For example, commercials tend to appear on the radio, foot ball game where a lot of people are watching, and in on television. Advertisement is seen many times especially on television. Television is the most efficient way for business industries to use to take advantage of showing advertisement Television advertising is often bypassed by small and mid-sized businesses in favor of print, radio, and even Internet. They often view TV as too expensive and may believe that only large national companies can advertise on it. While that may have been true a generation ago, the advent of cable television and the explosion in the number of stations and programming has made TV an advertising medium that is effective for even local businesses -- a medium that businesses of virtually any size can afford. For certain types of small or mid-sized businesses, television may be a better advertising medium than any other. "Television is an attractive use of an advertising budget since it maximizes the reach of a commercial message and provides the opportunity for potential customers to visually understand about the service or product. Importance of TV advertising Television has the properties of sight, sound and motion that traditionally set it apart from other media such as radio (sound only) or print (sight only). With its three-pronged assault on its viewer's senses, TV is able to create broad awareness for a product. Television is considered...

Until recently, Amazon was ahead of Barnes & Noble, in offering digital downloads of movies and music. However, announced as New! on our Barnes & Noble website, we have now partnered with Netflix and Marvel to offer streaming movies and comic books. This will increase our connection to the younger generation. While our products are desired and used by all varieties and ages on the spectrum, my suggestion would be to target the college student and younger genres. When we begin to segment the public, we must begin with Generation Y. Their buying power and sheer numbers can not be ignored. They are a tech-savvy group raised on phones, computers, and hand held devices. With their numbers comparing to the Baby Boom generation, they saturate the buying market. In looking to the future, two other generations that should not be overlooked are Generation Z and AO (Always-On-The-Go). These two generations exhibit the need for instant...

...Television and Children Are your children becoming the target of today's "BIG BUSINESS"? There doesn't seem to be a good time to watch television with your children. Whether it is Saturday morning cartoons or Sunday night football, the constant bombardment of controversial television commercials is all around us. It's hard not to notice the non-stop flood of commercials that are aimed directly at children. These commercials encourage today's children to purchase all types of unhealthy food items, as well as toys and clothing. Not only are these food items full of fat and sugar, I cannot go to a toy store or clothing store without my children asking specifically for items promoted through television commercials. My children have even asked for certain types of fast food restaurant to receive a desired happy meal toy. Food products are the most commonly advertised item during peak hours of children's TV watching. A study of broadcasting during the peak hours of children's television watching found that 16% of the time was consumed with ads. Almost half of the ads were related to food (food products, restaurants, and beverages). The nutritional contents of the foods advertised weren't good. Almost 70% of the foods advertised were high in sugar, 40% were high in fat, and 20% high in salt. About 9% of the foods advertised were classified as healthy (low in sugar, fat, and salt). (Pediatrics for parents 1997) Not coincidentally, childhood diabetes is on the rise. Dr...

...Are we aware of how advertisers appeal to us? Do we think about the credible messages we are listening and watching to without realizing it? Let’s hope so because as consumers, we purchase products that we can identify with. It is important for us to look at the little hints in advertisements, and the parts they play in in determining what products men and women buy in today’s economy. The number of ads a human see’s throughout their day, between TV and street ads mainly, is in the ballpark of 3,000 and that’s not including the grocery store, the movies, or the mail we get. We don’t realize how exposed to ads we really are. And the scariest part of it all is that they’ll hit us when we’re least expecting it. When you get that craving for cheeze-its, the sudden impulse to buy a new purse, buying the newest pair of shoes, for no reason at all. You know you’re not supposed to buy them, but you cave in and burn a damaging hole in your wallet. You can try as hard as you want not to look at ads but they are all around us. As I sit at my kitchen table writing this paper, I can see at least fifteen ads without turning my head and all I can think about is how good Tormino’s pizza and I could get a free small pizza with my punch card or how I need to beat the next chapter in the HALO saga to take out my anger for how much I love school, Better Homes soft cashmere Amber candle, 1980’s Nintendo helpline number with Mario on it.
