argument 9/11/10
today we had a discussion on why advertisement is needed and does it really work or is it a waste of time
our discussion title was: what is the point of advertising.
this discussion caused a lot of controversy and eventually the whole class was really deep into the argument, and we came up with a lot of argument for and against.
here they are;
for:
- it makes you aware of the product
- it makes the product stand out from all the other products
- It will make the product look more appealing and the product will be remembered by the audience/consumers
- there’s no point of advertising because the product will still sell
- Most of the time the advert doesn’t have anything to do with the product
- The advert might put people off the product as the advert may be unappealing.
- the product will still be known by word of mouth so adverts arent neccessary

anlaysis of adverts
dentyl-
what makes it effective?
-its energetic, people can enjoy themselves whilst watching it, its not blaintently marketive so its doesnt seem like its selling you something although it is but you are unaware.
what makes it a popular choice?
- its a popular choice because its memorable. the advert is so good and funny that when you walk into a shop and you want mouth wash youll think 'dentyl'.
what techniques does the advert use to make it effective?
- it uses music, the use of music in this advert makes it interactive which makes it effective; it has a jingle which is cathcy so people can remember it which makes it successful. also it uses the obvious choice humour, popular choice in adverts.
