Persuasive
Techniques in Advertising
The persuasive strategies
used by advertisers who want you to buy their product can be divided in to
three categories:
Pathos: an appeal to emotion
An advertisement using pathos will attempt to evoke an emotional response in
the consumer. Sometimes, it is a positive emotion such as happiness: an image
of people enjoying themselves while drinking Pepsi. Other times, advertisers
will use negative emotions such as pain: a person having back problems after
buying the “wrong” mattress. Pathos can also include emotions such as fear and
guilt: images of a starving child persuade you to send money.
Logos: an appeal to logic or reason
An advertisement using logos will give you the evidence and statistics you need
to fully understand what the product does. The logos of an advertisement will
be the “straight facts” about the product: One glass of Florida orange juice
contains 75% of your daily Vitamin C needs.
Ethos: an appeal to credibility
or character
An advertisement using
ethos will try to convince you that the company is more reliable, honest, and
credible; therefore, you should buy its product. Ethos often involves
statistics from reliable experts, such as nine out of ten dentists agree that
Crest is the better than any other brand or Americas dieters choose Lean Cuisine.
Often, a celebrity endorses a product to lend it more credibility: Catherine
Zeta-Jones makes us want to switch to T-Mobile.
