Advertisements

These days there are so many different types of advertisements that people see every day. I think everyone, unless they do not go outside and they do not have internet or a television see at least one advertisement. These days I do not watch a lot of television mainly because I do not have a television in my room so I either watch my shows online or in a friend’s room, but commercials are not the only type of advertisements. Before the T.V was invented people would just use posters or billboards to advertise whatever they were trying to sell. Probably the most resent advertisement that I saw, and remember is the Subway posters because that is what I had for lunch today. I remember it because it was in very bright colors and it was in a good location because it was like in your face so u had to look at it. It was placed usually where the menu is for the different types of sandwiches. I do think it was very effective because everyone looks up at the sandwiches. I actually did purchase what they were selling after looking at it. I think is adequately persuaded me because I was really hungry cause I had not eaten all day and I was starving and it stated that all foot long sandwiches were all five dollars. So I didn’t really have to worry about paying a lot more for the sandwich that I wanted that always cost a lot more to get the foot long. The poster said five dollar foot longs and had a picture of a foot long sub sandwich with meat overflowing out of the bread, and underneath the sandwich it said for all sandwiches for a limited time only. The colors were also very nice because it was like a bright orangish color in the background and bright yellow letters pop out of it. So in this case the advertisement caught my attention and I bought the product and most advertisements do catch my attention, but I usually do not have any money so I can’t get the thing that they are advertising even though I might really want it.
