Nook ColorNook Color
Barnes and Noble created this advertisement to promote their
new Nook Color, which may appeal to the avid reader or
technology fiend. This ad claims the Nook Color to be the
“ultimate reading experience” however, this ad fails to mention
its limited battery life, lagging touch screen, and lousy software.
This ad lacks these details to entrance a consumer with the idea
that the nook is perfect for them. Barnes and Noble persuades
their buyers that they have never really read a book until they
have read one on a nook.
Celebrity EndorsementsCelebrity Endorsements
These are two advertisements for Ann Taylor and Victoria’s
Secret. These two clothing companies used Hiedi Klum’s star
power to persuade women to buy their products. Victoria’s
Secret features Heidi Klum looking seductive in a bra, marketing
her sex appeal. It convinces women that they will look and feel
like a supermodel if they buy this bra. The Ann Taylor ad shows
Hedi smiling brightly while sporting their latest designs, implying
that wearing Ann Taylor will make you happy and feel fulfilled
and look as trendy as this former model. This ad fails to remind
American women that statistically more than have of them are
overweight or obese, far from supermodel standards. Omitting
this important fact benefits these the clothing companies since
some gullible women will succumb to this avenue of
propaganda.
iPadiPad
This advertisement was created by Apple, featuring
their new iPad. This ad targets the Apple consumer
as well as those who love to have the latest and
greatest. Apple claims the iPad to be “magical” and
“revolutionary”. This exaggeration leads the
consumer to believe that the iPad will change their
lives, bettering it for the “unbelievable” price of $499,
making $500 sound like chump change. Apple fails to
mention the iPad’s inability to multitask and support
Flash to name a few issues. They allow to consumer
to figure this out on their own after they have already
purchased it.
