Advertising – Nothing like before

Marketing November 3, 2012 by Syeda Fatima

One of the essential tools for promotion is advertisements. While some companies opt out of it, many take that route to build brand image.

Never has an advertisement gone from being eye-catching to ultimately delivering messages in the most versatile ways; an ad can make or break a company. By choosing the proper advertisement method, the target market can be reached and positively be made into customers.

Companies are now spending millions of dollars yearly on advertisements. The world is becoming a consumer’s land; consumerism is at its highest. The lives we live now are entirely different from what has lived a decade ago even.

As soon as we get paid our salaries, they’re almost all spent on the long list of wants we describe to ourselves as needs. Well, who can blame us; we’re all victims of good advertising!

There are various areas of advertising, and they seem to be increasing with the development of the technological front. Marketers now have multiple modes of advertisements to choose from, while print and TV ads are the most common, wrapping, moving billboards, online advertising, celebrity advertising, etc., are now in the boom.

Let’s focus on how intellectually manipulated; weird, funny, fascinating advertisements have made their way into our worlds:

1. Funny Ads

These are the ones that focus on ticking your funny bone to grab your attention.

2. Disturbing Ads

These ads are motivated to get disturb your senses for a second to grab your attention. The actual visual may not have anything to do with the product, but a one-liner or caption on the advertisement explains the perception.

3. Informative Ads

Ads focusing on parting valuable information come under this category. Instead of just painting down sentences of advice, creative investment is being made to increase the appeal of these particular advertisements.

4. Witty Ads

Advertisements are sometimes designed to target your wit; these are great for making a person smile and have a good impact in terms of memory. They are also ones that people will share with others as an experience they’ve had.

5. Manipulated Ads

A combination of witty and funny, these have a significant impact on the viewer. They are focused on bringing down the competitor or making fun of known characters or celebrities. Viewers most enjoy this type.

While there will always remain ads of various forms, the main objective is to catch the eye. The negative or positive effect is not even the point here; as long as the customer can remember what it was for, they will most likely be compelled to purchasing the product.
