Persuasive
Appeals
Persuasive appeals are techniques used to convince
or persuade an audience to adopt a particular
viewpoint or take a specific action. They aim to
create a connection between the audience and the
message, encouraging meaningful engagement with
the ideas or products.
How do they
work?
These techniques leverage various strategies to influence the
audience’s attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors
Persuasive Techniques
Persuasive ads tap into three main areas in our lives.
Our Needs Our Values Our Feelings
Our Needs
This includes are everyday needs,
such as:
• Food
• Water
• Shelter
• Clothing
• Entertainment
Our Values
This focuses on our values and
we see as important, such as
• Our beliefs
• How we view the world
• Aspirations
• How we want to live our lives
These techniques appeal to our
sense of identity and the principles
that guide our decisions and
actions.
Our Feelings
This focuses on the emotions that
make us human, such as
• Happiness
• Love
• Sadness
• Anger
• Joy
An alignment with an emotional resonance
not only captures attention but also enhances
the likelihood of engagement and response to
the persuasive message.
Persuasive Techniques
Five
These are the specific tools or methods used in writing or speaking to support the
appeals and enhance persuasion.
Ethos
Ethos is an example of an ethical appeal. It appeals
to the credibility or character of the speaker or
writer, establishing them as knowledgeable,
trustworthy, or morally upright. An example would
be a doctor endorsing a medical product.
Why does this
work?
This technique works because people trust experts and those who
have authority.
Ethos
As a registered nutritionist with over a
decade of experience working in rural health
centers, I have witnessed firsthand how poor
eating habits affect both children and adults. It is
not merely about access to food, but about
education on proper nutrition. Trust me when I
say that incorporating more whole foods like
fruits and vegetables into your daily diet can
drastically improve your overall health and
prevent chronic diseases. When professionals
guide your choices, better health becomes
achievable.
Pathos
Pathos is an example of an emotional appeal. It
appeals to the audience’s emotions, often stirring
feelings such as compassion, empathy, fear, joy, or
nostalgia. An example would be a charity ad
showing sad images of animals to encourage
donations.
Why does this
work?
This technique works because emotions drive people to take
action.
Pathos
Imagine a child going to bed
hungry, not because they are picky, but
because there is simply no food at
home. Her stomach growls through the
night, and she wakes up too weak to
concentrate in class. This is the reality
for millions of children. By supporting
local food drives and advocating for
food security policies, we can make sure
no child endures this silent suffering.
Logos
Logos is an example of a logical appeal. It focuses
on persuading an audience through the use of
logic, reasoning, and evidence. An example would
be using statistics and facts to support an
argument.
Why does this
work?
This technique works by appealing to the audience's rationality
with factual information and logical arguments, enhancing
credibility and persuasiveness.
Logos
Studies from the World Health
Organization reveal that a balanced diet
reduces the risk of heart disease by 31%
and type 2 diabetes by nearly 50%.
These numbers don’t lie. Choosing
nutritious meals over processed foods
is not just a personal choice—it’s a
scientifically proven way to live longer
and healthier. The data strongly
supports investing in food and nutrition
education for everyone.
Bandwagon
Appeal
Bandwagon appeal encourages people to think or
act because “everyone else is doing it.” This
approach leverages the desire for acceptance and
conformity among individuals. An example would
be an ad that claims “everyone is switching to this
phone.”
Why does this
work?
This technique works because people like to fit in and follow
trends.
Bandwagon
Appeal
More and more families today
are switching to plant-based diets—
and for good reason. Social media
is flooded with stories of people
feeling more energized, losing
weight, and even reversing health
conditions. Don’t get left behind!
Join the thousands who are
embracing healthier, more
sustainable eating habits and see
the difference for yourself.
Testimonial
Appeal
Testimonial appeal uses endorsements from
celebrities or satisfied customers. This technique
capitalizes on the influence and credibility of well-
known figures or individuals. An example would be
a famous athlete promoting a brand of sports
shoes.
Why does this
work?
This technique works because people trust recommendations
from those they admire or relate to.
Testimonial
Appeal
"When I changed my eating habits
and started prioritizing nutrition,
everything improved—my energy, my
skin, and even my sleep,” shares Heart
Evangelista, actress and advocate for
wellness. Her journey has inspired
thousands to re-evaluate their food
choices. If someone as busy as her can
make the switch, so can you.
Establishing a community garden can
significantly improve food security in
barangays. According to a 2023 study by the
Department of Agriculture, communities with
organized gardens reduced their dependency
on market-bought vegetables by 40%. Aside
from reducing costs, these gardens promote
nutrition and environmental awareness
among residents. With minimal investment
and proper management, local government
units can help ensure that every family has
access to fresh produce.
As the City Health Officer of Davao
for over a decade, I assure you that all
vaccines administered in our health
centers are safe and approved by the
Food and Drug Administration. I have
seen firsthand how immunization
protects our children from deadly
diseases like measles, polio, and
hepatitis. Trust the process, and let’s
work together to keep our
communities healthy and protected.
I’ve been using Lagundi tea for
three years now whenever I feel
symptoms of cough and colds. At first, I
was skeptical, but it really helped me
recover faster — even better than
some of the over-the-counter
medicines I used to take. It’s
affordable, available in our backyard,
and now part of my daily routine. If it
worked for me, it might work for you
too.
Every night, Aling Teresa stares at
her phone, waiting for a message from
her son in Dubai. It’s been two years
since she last hugged him. Her heart
aches during birthdays and holidays,
moments that pass with only video
calls and tears. While he works hard
overseas to provide for their family, the
emotional toll of being apart weighs
heavily on both sides. No amount of
remittance can fill the emptiness left by
distance.
Everyone in Barangay San Roque is
now participating in the weekly "Bayan
Ko, Linis Ko" clean-up drive. From
students to senior citizens, each
member of the community takes part
in making our surroundings cleaner and
safer. Even the sari-sari store owners
have joined in. Be part of the
movement! Don’t be the only one left
behind while the entire barangay works
hand-in-hand for a cleaner tomorrow.
Think back to the item you shared earlier
today and reflect on what appeal
persuaded you to purchase it.
