Outline
Thesis Statement
Early American Impacts of Persuasion
The Middle Years
Culture from 1950 Forward
Conclusions
From the Paper
"Given neither the fact that advertising is nothing more nor nothing less than the practice of persuasion it therefore becomes important to know the impact of this persuasion upon culture as we define it today. Advertising can be traced back to well beyond 5,000 BCE and has impacted civilizations - and thus cultures - in almost too many manners to account for properly. Therefore within our scope here we shall limit the persuasive impacts of advertising upon our American culture a fairly limited period of just over 225 years."

Nintendo the Leader in Computer Software Games

"The Internet is quickly becoming one of the best sources for marketing a product. Even a beginning Internet user can buy books, groceries, take out meals, Christmas gifts, and just about anything, that were once sold only through catalogues and other traditional marketing sources. The use of the Internet as a marketing tool provides new opportunities and markets for businesses, benefits to both consumers and businesses, but also develops marketing and purchasing problems that previously did not exist."

Introduction
Brand Relationship Strategy
Advertising vs. Sales Promotions
The Role of "Salespersonship"
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are two important ideas to be noted here, as representing the goal of the brand relationship strategy: customization and differentiation. The main goal is to convince the final consumer that the product he will be using, the software itself, is not only created to suit his best needs (customized), but it is created by the very customer himself. In this sense, somewhat similar to the Harley Owners Group, albeit of a somewhat different nature, the team of programmers organizes brainstorming session and brainstorming groups in which the members of the final consumer firms get together with the programmers and customize the software application to fit the exact needs of the company. It may seem like the usual business meeting, but there are several rules to be followed."

Advertising to Children, 2005.
This paper discusses the reaction of three interviewed children to television advertising of products of interest to children.
1,605 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that children react to advertisements similarly to the way adults react (1) by absorbing subconsciously sensory data, such as slogans or jingles, and (2) by associating certain emotional responses with certain products; however, children, especially young children, do not possess cognitive skills sufficient to understand fully the impact of advertising on their impulses. The author points out that three children frequently peppered their interviews about products, which the children had seen advertised recently on television with "I want..[a specific brand]..", demonstrating that television commercials stimulate the consumer instinct and create brand awareness. The paper relates that advertising draws children's attention away from those products that are not advertised on television.
From the Paper
"Advertising does create awareness of products that the kids might not have otherwise known about. The nine-year old, for example, said, "Oh, oh, I want the Barbie radio!" When I asked her if any of her friends had the product she said no, that she just saw it on television. Wanting was expressed linguistically and straightforwardly by all three children: all three used simple language to convey that they coveted or craved items they had seen on television. Even negative responses to television commercials were expressed through language of "wanting." A few of the three children used the word "need" in conjunction with what they had seen on television, except for the nine-year old who said that she "needed" some accessory toys for her doll, but not because she had seen them in a commercial. The twelve-year old, when talking about the Play Station commercials she had seen said that she "needed" to get a new game console because hers was old."

Advertising of Prescription Drugs, 2005.
This paper analyzes two radio commercials for prescription medications for their adherence to FDA guidelines, marketing techniques, failings and overall message of the advertisement.
1,845 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 59.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that direct-to-consumer advertising is considered to be a powerful marketing tool and to be a helpful service for patients who wish to be informed about their options and be active in their own treatment; however, direct-to-consumer advertisements for prescription medications may hinder effective health care in several ways including reducing doctor-patient communication. The author concludes that the analyzed commercials for Allegra D to treat allergy symptoms and an unnamed cholesterol-fighting drug did adhere to the FDA guidelines. The paper states that these gimmicky commercials are not actually informative to the general public; they are simply a tool used by the medication companies to benefit from the consumerist impulses of the population.
From the Paper
"Direct-to-consumer advertising is a phenomenon of the past couple of decades. The FDA has set guidelines for drug companies to follow that are intended to prevent consumers from being taken advantage of by misleading advertisements. All commercials must use words that common people can understand, without using advanced or complicated vocabulary that would require higher education or specialized training to decipher. Most of these commercials have to state a great deal of information about the product, including intended uses and common side-effects, as well as providing means for consumers to get more information about the product that would include all of the labelling that the FDA requires for the drug. However, the commercials that were observed were exempt from these guidelines because they were brief "reminder" or "help-seeking" ads."

The Pun: A Linguistic Resource, 2005.
This paper examines the pun as a linguistic resource for advertising.
3,380 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 15 sources, MLA, $ 96.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as a linguistic resource, the pun is so effective in performing the ludic function of language to the extent of being among the most effective tools in graphic advertising. The author points out that the use of puns is truly ancient, but their use in print media is a fairly modern phenomenon, representing an effective method of engaging a reader's attention by inviting the reader to become an active part of the process. The paper stresses that there is a risk of having the pun miss its target because some readers simply turn the page if they do not understand an ad at first glance; but, on the other hand, inviting the reader to examine the ad a little further relates to the pun's success in print advertisements.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To this end, this paper attempts to present the analysis of advertisements published in the graphic media in the UK and in the USA, from the perspective of Austin's Speech Act Theory (1975). This Speech Act Theory argues that when we use language we are performing certain acts. There are three acts which utterances can be said to perform: A locutionary act, an illocutionary act and a perlocutionary act. This paper will take locutionary acts performed by the text in graphic advertisements and it will attempt to identify the illocutionary force. The perlocutionary effect is beyond the scope of this paper. The guiding principles which, according to Grice, govern talk and which are so thoroughly studied in conversational analysis (C.A.), apply to texts used in graphic advertising as well. Studying Grice's Maxims enables an addressee to draw inferences as to the implicatures of such utterances. Every utterance, whether it abides by or flouts these maxims, has both entailment and implicature, which this paper intends to explore."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is evidence that color, especially the viewer's favorite colors, plays an important role in graphic design, especially print media and advertising. The author points out that color has symbolic meaning, which differ culturally: in western societies, white is seen as the traditional color for weddings but, in the Chinese culture, white is used for funerals; and, in America, red is often associated with rage or anger but in China red is used for happiness. The paper relates (1) the importance of graphic designers to study the role of color, how it makes people feel and why this is so significant and (2) the need for more research to understand this phenomena.

"The favorite color that an individual has is considered to say a great deal about them. It is important here to look at the most popular colors briefly and what they say about individuals. Black is considered to be a color of power and authority. It is also very popular and fashionable because many people that wear black look thinner. Black is considered to be timeless and very stylish, but it also implies submissionFor example, priests wear black to signify that they are submissive to God There are those in fashion that indicate women who were black imply that they are submissive to men but many black outfits are also utilized for aloofness or evil, such as those traditionally worn by villains in many television shows and movies."

Abstract
In this paper, the author describes her own responses to television commercials as well as how the population, in general, is affected by the advertisements they see on TV. The author concludes that, while it would not be feasible to eliminate television commercials altogether, it is hoped that viewers will become more aware of how they are being manipulated by advertisements.
From the Paper
"Although the Internet is the top choice of electronic media for young adults 18 to 24, this age group continues to watch significant amounts of television each week. On an average, these individuals will view between two to five hours of TV a day for entertainment and relaxation. Television advertising thus remains a top priority for marketing purposes, and companies continue to rely considerably on this medium to get across their messages (Carparelli, 2004). Audience ad recognition remains at a high 70 percent, and viewers actually like commercials more--especially those that appeal to feelings, use music in a central role, are humorous and tell a story (MTV-3). It is expected that most students in the United States see about 360,000 commercials by the time they graduate high school (Tamburro, 2004)."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because the main product line of the Automobile Association (AA) of the U.K. has reached the maturity phase of the product life-cycle; a new advertising strategy, 'Just AASK', incorporating AA's entire umbrella of business products and services, allows the company to communicate a single streamlined message that addresses both new and existing customer concerns and creates new opportunities for cross sales from the core business. The author points out that the AA has a database including every customer who has ever inquired or purchased a product or service from the company, which can be analyzed to develop potential new markets, target groups and new products and to evaluate models for the 'Just AASK' campaign. The paper relates that the key of the 'Just AASK' agenda is to establish a direct marketing communications program that will increase revenue by increasing sales from existing customers; the acquisition strategy of choice for new customers will be a combination of 'Buzz Marketing' and 'Word-of-Mouth' advertising.

From the Paper
"The majority of all business success revolves around attracting and retaining customers. "It is well recognized that a key issue in gaining brand awareness, trial, and subsequent loyalty is to reflect deep-seated values in advertising and augmented product offerings. When marketers address consumer values, target consumers sense that the product's purpose is to benefit their individual lives." The company will therefore seek to take advantage of its valuable customer databases by first enhancing this wealth of information and then creating new strategies for direct marketing communications with existing customers. The new marketing approach will also create viable means for acquiring new customers."
