Abstract
This paper takes a look at the art of advertising and the role that text plays in the advert. The paper focuses specifically on a Volvo advert, which profoundly illustrates the interaction between text and image to convey a message. The paper further discusses the issues of subcultures and the portrayal of subcultural issues in this advert and the media.
From the Paper
"In examining the range of readings that the text generates across an audience, it becomes obvious that, especially when the ad is shown to people outside of the subculture towards which it was initially aimed, even this small amount of text can be interpreted in many ways, and it can impact the reader in a multitude of ways. For some readers, the text serves to clarify the sexual reference in the image. For others, it clarifies another non-sexual interpretation of the image. Other readers are confused by the text and do not find it to clarify the message of the ad at all, while others believe the text was only included to help less witty readers get the joke. For certain readers, the smaller text has a significant impact on the message of the advertisements, while other readers ignore it completely. The following examples of reactions from different readers show the wide range of readings possible for this small amount of text."

Abstract
This paper discusses marketing and how it affects consumer behavior. It specifically discusses the four Ps of marketing - how the product, price, place and promotion of marketing all influence how consumers behave as they purchase a product or as they decide not to purchase a product. The paper presents a narrative explanation of how the four Ps influenced the writer in buying a laptop computer.
From the Paper
"Consumer behavior is defined as "a discipline dealing with how and why consumers purchase (or don't purchase) products and services (Neal, Quester, & Hawkins 2001, G.3). Consumer behavior considers all of the factors that play a role in people's buying decisions. These decisions include what a person chooses to buy, where they choose to buy it, what actions they take as they buy it, what they consider as they buy it, and why they choose not to buy it. Marketing is closely linked to consumer behavior because the activities of marketing influence consumer behavior. The product, price, place, and promotion of marketing all influence how a consumer behaves as they purchase a product or as they decide not to purchase a product. The role that each of the four P's of marketing play will now be looked at in more detail by using a real example of purchasing behavior. The purchase situation that occurred is where I purchased a new lap-top. I will now look at each of the four P's in turn and determine how they affected my consumer behavior."

This paper discusses three positive and three major negative effects of advertising, using various advertising mediums. It then gives two examples of these effects - one of an advertisement with arguably more positive aspects and another of an advertisement with arguably more negative aspects. The paper explains the positive and negative aspects as seen by the writer.
From the Paper
"A current popular Ford Motor Company ad, shown often on late-night television and talk shows, of a red Ford Mustang twirling round and round inside what looks like the inside of an automobile show room (but with no visible walls or other boundaries). This commercial then cuts, near the end, to a simple view of the open road, and, implicitly, the Mustang driver's-eye-view of it. The road is ready for the Mustang: the road is open and free; the big powerful red car is ready to take command of it! Message: the Ford Mustang (and by association, its owner/driver) is the center of attention; its owner will have no boundaries to worry about; he or she (probably he) will be able to go anywhere; occupy any space; "own" the road."

The Statistical Lie, 2007.
This paper explores how statistics can often be misleading and delusional.
1,065 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that one of man's greatest fears is that of the power of numbers. The paper demonstrates how statistics are used to misrepresent, under-represent or over-represent an event, occurrence, situation or phenomenon. The paper defines statistics as a set of numeric values obtained by way of a measurement process. This process can be either one of observation or direct testing. The paper reveals that the most widely used means whereby researchers lie is with statistics, usually for increased profits and sensationalism. The paper illustrates how companies can use a self-selecting population for survey results, or they use obscure definitions and data sets that mislead consumers.
From the Paper
"For most people numbers are nothing more than a hodgepodge of digits that are bewildering and oftentimes meaningless. As a result individuals often prefer to judge events, occurrences, phenomena, and situations from a traditionalist point of view wherein reason, conclusion, and inferences are made on the basis of past experiences rather than on best practices policies. Justification for historical acceptance is usually based on a fear of numbers and a lack of willingness to extract meaningful information from them. For those accepting of the alternatives, statistical tools have been devised wherein it is possible to extract meaningful information from data and interpret whatever the data holds as its' secret."

Advertising for Children, 2007.
This paper examines the impact of food advertising on children.
1,604 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the prevalence of childhood obesity and related health issues have convinced many legislators and health professionals that food advertising to children is at least partly to blame. The paper relates that children view more commercials aimed at getting them to choose fast food, unhealthy food and sweet foods than nutritious and healthy food. This is apparent in current ads for chocolate milk, cookies, microwavable french fries and a host of other foods that are tantalizing to children. The paper demonstrates how the advertising industry seeks to make money for their clients, not protect consumers, and until that mentality changes, Americans and their children will continue to be bombarded with advertising that is geared to sell hamburgers rather than encourage a new generation of healthy eaters.
From the Paper
"Throughout the past two decades, scientists and researchers have conducted many studies on children's advertising. They found the four most advertised items were toys, cereal, candy, and fast food (Gunter, Oates & Blades 15). A 1999 study found that out of 350 Saturday morning television advertisements, two-thirds were for food children would be attracted to, and the most common was some type of sugary cereal product (Gunter, Oates & Blades 17). Another 1997 study on children and food advertising found "The typical child sees 170 McDonald advertisements on television per year. In 1997, more advertising money $1.4 billion was spent on commercials for food and food products than any other product type" (Johnson, and Young 276). Food is big business, and so is appealing to the tastes of American children."

»

Abstract
The paper examines the complex relationship between society, advertisers, and the media. The paper discusses how, while consumers drive mass media and advertisers, they are also shaped and driven by mass media. Furthermore, the blurring of entertainment media, news media, and advertisements has made the relationship even more complex. The paper concludes that modern communication has become increasingly more uniform, resulting in the marginalization of groups outside of the targeted demographic, which has become the new representation of normal.
From the Paper
"In order to understand the interrelationship between the media and society, it is important to have a total understanding of what organizations form what is referred to as the mass media. Media refers to "those organized means of dissemination of fact, opinion, entertainment, and other information, such as newspapers, magazines, cinema films, radio, television, the World Wide Web, billboards, books, CDs, DVDs, videocassettes, computer games and other forms of publishing."

Advertising In 2011, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses advertising in the present day, as well as what we can expect in the way of advertising in the year 2011. Particularly, the paper discusses wireless advertising, such as cell phones or iPods and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. The paper discusses the consumers' reactions to the possibility of this sort of wireless advertising.
From the Paper
"There is a chance that mobile advertising might find it easier to penetrate the wireless technology if they make it clear how the customer would benefit from it and also offer the choice to turn off such messages. To force your brand on consumer's cell would definitely be suicidal both to the company as well as the product. Irritating pop-ups and their forceful invasiveness is a clear example of how such advertising can really hurt the customer and the product. This method of advertising failed so badly that they had to develop anti-pop-up software."

From the Paper
"Many political and regulatory laws have been set in place to serve as guidelines on ho advertisers are to be allowed to operate (Durkin and Norewill 2003). The government enforces types of laws, which either limit or remove the types of advertising or products, which can be seen in marketing channels. The government can also regulate advertisements itself. The Federal Trade Commission, for example, has outlawed false or misleading advertising. Tax regulations are also a key component of advertisers' revenues and the American Association of Advertising Agencies has been countering the efforts of several States, which are attempting to tax advertising expenditures.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another excellent method of promotion for sports organizations on small budgets is volunteer work. If members of the sports organizations sign up for and donate hours to non profit community projects the local news media and print media will pick it up and through the stories told the organization will be promoted free of charge. One organization that often has help through sports organizations is the Habitat for Humanity Organization. This organization builds houses by hand for under-privileged citizens to purchase from the organization at low or no interest loans. If members of sports organizations come out to help with the building of the home the news channels flock to cover the event."

Reflections
From the Paper
"The practice of marketing and advertising nationally has also been the focus of a recent study. The way that things are marketed to various individuals may be normal and accepted in one particular country but may be rejected by other countries that do not see things the same way (Jain, 1989). This understanding of various countries and the cultures that they have in them is challenging to many that are looking to market today in this global society. The evidence presented in various studies on this issue, however, does not actually show that the marketing methods consumers are generally used to are completely preferred, but only that they are more recognized. In other words this does not imply that utilizing a different method of marketing to a country, other than what that particular country is used to, will not be effective."

From the Paper
"Starbucks' segmentation is also globally-focused, as can be seen from the world map shown in the following graphic. Segmenting globally has raised an entirely new set of revenue opportunities for the company, which expects by 2009 to have the majority of its revenue generated outside the United States. Investment analysts tracking Starbucks agree with this assessment. The backlash against globalization from western corporations is a major issue for Starbucks global growth plans, and their approach to highly customizing their stores and hiring only local workers, giving them health insurance, profit sharing, and respecting local customs has helped make globalization successful to this point. There is an abundance of work going on inside Starbucks right now to bring GIS expertise in-house to aid in their segmentation planning based on taking both demographic, psychographic and attitudinal segmentation criteria overlaid against potential market areas."

On the "Investor Relations" section of its website: "Our company, Maidenform Brands, Inc., is a global intimate apparel company with a portfolio of established and well-known brands, top-selling products and an iconic heritage.... We sell our products through multiple distribution channels." ("Investor Relations," 2006, Maidenform Official Website) Unlike Victoria's Secret bras, one can buy Maidenform bras at discount stores as well as at specialized retailers. It is the bra of every woman--or every matron, perhaps."

Today, there are television commercials for a myriad of products, including drugs for virtually every health complaint, from headaches to erectile dysfunction. This paper shows that over the years, some television commercials have created concerns and stirred controversy.

From the Paper
"In 2005,it was reported that automakers are now developing marketing strategies to reach gay consumers, a large, often affluent and trend-setting demographic (LaReau 2005). According to General Motors market research data, gay Americans each have an average household income of nearly $65,000, compared to $45,000 of all U.S. households (LaReau 2005). In fact, during the past decade, gay television commercials have been popping up more and more on the airwaves (Is 2000). For example the Volkswagen ad that portrayed two trendy young males stopping curbside to pick up a discarded "kitschy old armchair," or the John Hancock Insurance commercial that featured a female couple adopting a baby (Is 2000)."

Ethics in Marketing, 2006.
A discussion of the ethical and legal requirements of providing product information to the consumer.
2,082 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the concept of ethics in advertising. It discusses the issue of how much information a company should be required to divulge to the consumer about a particular product from the point of view of the law, as well as from an ethical position. The paper also discusses the concept of ethics and providing information in relation to the U.S. government of today.
From the Paper
"Granted, there is no course or class that teaches young consumers how to be discerning and rational when it comes to influential advertising. Unless a student is particularly interested enough to take classes in commercial art or ethics, the fact that most advertising is pure and simple persuasion can easily go over his or her head. The most vulnerable, of course, are teenagers, evidenced by the tendency to buy expensive jeans made from torn, worn and damaged fabric. Teens, who are beginning to have their own income sources, are not old enough to have been burned by deceptive advertising, and are still children enough to swallow whole the fairy tale advertising that they are fed through the media. Sadly, cartoonish characters like Joe Camel can influence destructive behavior. But Joe is a "form of commercial poetry," and the cigarette package clearly states that smokers can die from lung disease (Gordon 404)."

"Puffery" in Advertising, 2006.
This paper describes the advertising technique "Puffery" and the potential liabilities it may have on companies that use it.
1,223 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes a process advertisers use called "Puffing," which helps to help build up their particular product. The author cites the FTC and often courts of law, which believe "Puffing" is an exaggeration of the particular qualities of a given product. The paper contends that "Puffing" is not meant to deceive the consumer, but rather to exaggerate the qualities of the product. The paper concludes with the dangers and potential liabilities of using this technique.
From the Paper
"Often, when companies are found to have participated in false statements of fact, the FTC requires a period of corrective advertising. Typically, these campaigns are designed to contain slogans and advertising materials that clearly note the previous false claim. For example, when Novartis, makers of the back pain remedy Doan's, were found to be participating in false claims by stating their remedy was more effective than other forms of back pain relief, the FTC required the company to place the phrase "Although Doan's is an effective pain reliever, there is no evidence that Doan's is more effective than other pain relievers for back pain" on all advertising messages and packaging (FTC, 1999)."

Abstract
The paper takes inspiration from the innovative and shrewd self promotional campaign of Donald Trump who chose the reality TV as his expression of self-promotion. This paper discusses the marketing and promotion of a new product. The writer's designer wear and fashion house emphasizes low budget, creative and innovative strategies of self-promotion and employs its mainstream finances on the product and diversity. This would, in the writer's opinion, yield far better results than high exhibition and hiking prices. The writer believes that the public is phenomenally influenced by innovative entertainment programs and industries with their own peculiar individuality. Therefore the writer intends to emphasize personal individuality at all costs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Therefore there is a lot of room for innovation and creative thinking to completely curb the parasitical affects of seasonality in fashion market. Fashion in itself is broad avenue of inter related industry of glam, beautify, accessories, comfort and style. Therefore there are many related markets in the fashion industry and an entrepreneur can always expand their commodities, sometimes intimidating and sometimes complimenting other industries. Fashion industry has a considerably protracted life cycle; it has maximum sustainability and growth rate. Decline of such an ever evolving industry like fashion is hard to perceive. However, maturity which is an increased price competition is highly likely since new brands step in the emerging markets can maintain high profit margins. Fashion market can be colossally diversified and segmented into a vast range of foot wear, accessories, clothing, and cosmetics."
