Editor's Notes
- #3 The first question is rhetorical…. There are studies that show that we are exposed to 3000 ads, 1600 ads, and 150 ads per day.
- #7 Kids have very strong influence on decision making Pester power: or known as the nag factor , learn to assiocate material items as their needs and wants, and many parents buy into these things I have to emphasize again children’s buying power of $25-30 billion, not million, billion! directly influence clothes, snacks, soft drinks, toys entertainment Indirectly influence: how can that be? That is too so much money? Yes its true. From family vacations are the biggest influencer, then 2 nd most cell phones. Also cars when parents thinking about safety issues and car pooling, They need it roomy and don’t forget road trips., Also recreation, food, accessories, school suppils, computers, different kids of technology, TVs, beauty aid and even home appliances Another influencing factor that kids feed off of is peer pressure from their friends and classmates. What they are wearing, doing, going and seeing from movies to Jamba Juice or dunken donuts. And so the want factors is an never ending cycle
- #17 40,000 commercials a year and thru TV, magazines, radio, direct mail, internet In Australia kids average 4 hours a day, Annie noticed how have dvr and pre recorded shows skipping through advertisements. But about half of them were watched due to mult-tasking from the internet to the painting her nails. They way kids are watching TV is different from they way previous generations have done so.
- #18 Example way help kids differenitiate difference on Nickeloden have Face saying, “ok kids we will be back after this commercial break.” Many kids have hard time understanding the difference between the program and ad, At age of 3 only 57% understand, 4yrs 66%, 5 yrs 72%, 6 majority understand ( talk about study) Although many do understand difference of ad only 20% of kids could verbally say correct response to the difference between the two Incorrect//// Correct response: “tries to make people buy things” “Shows products you can buy.” Advertisers wants plant seed of brand recognitiion in children very young= hope for life relationship for examples Mc Donalds Studies shown babies at 6 months can see mental images of big corporations logos and mascots. By time go to preschool recognize 100 brands/logos American Psychological Association (APA) has recommended restrictions on advertising that targets children under the age of eight, based on research showing that children under this age are unable to critically comprehend televised advertising messages and are prone to accept advertiser messages as truthful, accurate and unbiased. 5 They don’t understand it disorts views of the world. For EX: sound effects amplified They are easily influenced, not skceptical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hdm69hpO-E ))
- #19 Many concerned obesity epidemic in kids 50% of commercials are unhealthy foods= snacks high in fat, sugary cereals, and fast food Billions of dollars are spent on kids advertising and $3 billion is spend on fast food advertising to kids 15% increase of overweight kids ages 5-11 years old in last 2 decades. Everyone wants to blame advertising. Pointing the finger is always easier. But fact is fact Also parents who are bringing them there There has been many studies that shows correlation between # of hours TV and calorie intake and body mass index Many believe this is because with the volume of ads seen on TV affects kids want for unhealthy food, unhealthy eating behaviors, by showing all the unhealthy food options 20% fast food has tie ins and incentives to go out and buy that happy meal: Not only does fast food have tie ins but soft drinks, gummies, candy, snacks have incentive to buy product for experience secondary to the food Steven will go more into this later on Another reason for the increase of overweight children might be due to parents now are the first grown up generation to have exposure to fast food ads so they have built in connection to companies (Mc Donalds) hard break system
