When copywriters use emotional appeal in advertising, they are attempting to

otherwise create psychological tension that can best be resolved by purchase of

consumers’ interpretations of their product usage
experience.
One way of doing this is through what is known
as transformational advertising.
A transformational ad is defined as “one which associates
the experience of using (consuming) the advertised brand
with a unique set of psychological characteristics which
would not typically be associated with the brand
experience to the same degree without exposure to the
advertisement.”

but, rather, determining how to
combine the two approaches.

particularly around the appropriate period.
 For example, marketers of candy products often increase
their media budgets and run reminder advertising
around Valentine’s Day, Diwali, Raksha Bandhan and
Christmas.

23. Teaser advertising
 Designed to build curiosity, interest, and/or excitement
about a product or brand by talking about it but not
