Advertising, The Good With The Bad
Mass Communication Process Thesis Paper Advertising (Chapter 11)
Advertising is a necessary market force that is responsible for the success of
most, and involved in all, forms of Multimedia. It is also responsible for some
of our most powerful and long-living icons that dominate the American landscape.
Advertising, like it or not, is everywhere. It is on buses, billboards and
hot-air balloons. It invades our living rooms, our classrooms and almost every
aspect of human life. The average American is exposed to 115 advertisements
during their morning commute. With this much exposure to the consumer market,
one wonders weather or not this is good or bad for the population at large. Not
surprisingly, professionals have disputed advertising抯 effect across the globe.
In this paper I do not want to look at the effects of advertising as much as the
techniques in which the advertisers choose to convey their message. I intend to
argue and support that the several techniques used by advertisers are
underhanded and, in some cases, downright unethical. Advertisers use several
different techniques for selling products. One can analyze these as persuasive
techniques. This first point summarizes the oldest and most conventional
persuasive techniques Most are considered perfectly ethical at first glance, but
when you examine them further, things are not always as they appear. Two of
these techniques include the plain-folks pitch, and snob appeal. These two
techniques are used quite often. Both hope to attract your attention by getting
you to establish a need for the products. In the Plain-folks pitch, advertisers
try to make things appear much simpler than they are. An example of a typical
Plain-folks pitch is Toyota抯 current pitch, 揈veryday? as in everyday people
drive Toyota cars. The Snob approach, on the other hand tries to make you
believe that upon the purchase of their product you will be accepted into the
elitist society in which you always aspired to be a part of. These
advertisements are used when advertising most luxury items. Another approach is
the Bandwagon effect. This approach preys on the 搆eeping up with the Jones?fear
that most people possess. It also relates to the feeling that if it is good
enough for the majority of my peers, it must be good enough for me. Finally, and
perhaps the most unethical technique is the hidden fear approach. This technique
preys on people抯 fear to sell a product. It is most abused by the low
involvement products. Deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo and other products that are
easily substituted for by their competitors are extremely guilty for this type
of advertising. A Deodorant commercial even went far enough to say if you did
not use their product, you would be banished by society and forced to live the
remainder of your life as a hermit. These hidden approaches are considered to be
unethical by most experts in the field. These techniques incite irrational fears
in people. The hidden fear approach still it remains as one of the most
successful advertising techniques used. Another way in which one can examine
advertising techniques is through the Association Principle. The Association
Principle is summarized by Campbell as the association of a product with some
cultural value or image that has a positive connotation but may have very little
connection to the actual product. (Campbell 361) This is also a reason that
people are distrustful toward advertisers. Using this principal in advertising
is just another way in which people are tricked into believing that a product is
something that it is not. Cigarettes, when sold in Newport advertisements, are
associated with people who have bright white smiles, who are thin, and who are
having the most amazing time. When in reality, smokers have a forty percent
better chance of being depressed, ninety-five percent of smokers are over
weight, and everybody knows that a smoking turns teeth yellow. This is just a
small example of the association principle, but you can clearly see how it
works. In another example demonstrated in Campbell, The Gallo Wine Company
advertised an entire line of wines featuring two older entrepreneurs as the
owners of the Bartley & Jaymes Company. This company was a total fabrication
that the Gallo Company felt would relate to more of America抯 younger generation
of wine drinkers. (Campbell 361) Yet another way to analyze ads as deceptive
selling tools is to analyze them through the Myth Analysis Technique. Campbell
defines this Technique in saying that ads are constructed as an extremely short
narrative that involves some conflict in which the conflict is solved with
incredible ease by the product being advertised. (Campbell 363) A recognizable
example of this is in one of the Miller Lite commercials. In this situation, a
male is shown alone at his house watching a game. Once he opens a Miller Lite,
the room fills with friends, beautiful girls, and the best time that a popular
guy would ever want to have. This commercial, in essence, states that if you are
lonely (Conflict), all that you need to become the popular, party guy is a case
of Miller Lite (Resolution) and your prayers will be answered. This is totally
untrue since a beer will not make you more popular, and in extreme cases may
turn you into an alcoholic. The example given by Campbell is of the Marlboro
Man. He is a representation of the individual rugged spirit that is sought after
by much of the population in our culture and in cultures around the world. 揂
conflict is generated by the audiences implicit understanding of what is not in
the ad---a fast paced, technology-driven urban world where most smoking actually
takes place. This implied conflict between the natural world and thee
manufactured world is apparently resolved by invoking the image of
Marlboro.?(Campbell 363) Through Myth Analysis, Marlboro will transport any
smoker from the technological world in which we live to a world in which you
ride horses and rustle cattle. Advertising is extremely important to the economy
of the world. It drives the market and pays for most of the entertainment that
so many of us Americans Enjoy. It is also the only way that we are furnished
information about new and innovative products. As I hope was demonstrated in
this paper, advertising does come with a price. As targets of advertising
campaigns, we need to be more objective of the messages that are being fed to us
by the corporations of America. If we are not careful, one could be lead by the
media gods down a path of destruction from which there is no return. As stated
in the thesis, advertisers use many underhanded techniques to sell us their
products, and only the consumer can make a change.
