  • Hero endorsement (using celebrities to advertise)
  • Bargain appeals (at this price for a limited time only)
  • Statistics appeal (use numbers, proofs, to show how good product works)
  • Complementing customers (punch lines which complement consumers who buy their products)

Bring the videos to class. Watch them with your group.

Assignment 2: make a commercial

Now try and make a commercial in your group. Here are some ideas of products.

  • mobile phone

As you prepare your commercial, answer these questions in your group:
(write the answers down in your notebook or text document)

  • Who is it for? For example: A cool teenager, a soccer fan,  a stylish girl.
  • What are three reasons people should buy or use your product?
    For example: Cheap, easy, better than...
  • What will be your slogan?
  • Use a technique mentioned in assignment 1. Which technique?
  • Scripting
    Decide what story you’d like to tell in the commercial. Write down what happens in the beginning, middle and end. Script the text for your commercial. Write down the lines.
  • Roles
    Divide roles. Who is going to act, who is going to film. There is a role for everyone.
