Introduction

The UGG?s Advert ________________ DP2 When being asked what his opinions are about advertising, American entertainer Will Rogers answered ?Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don?t have for something they don?t need.?[1] In a recent interview regarding the growth of marketing, President of the Marketing Firm Yankelovich, Jay Walker-Smith, made clear the primary goal of all marketers, ?to cover every blank space with some kind of brand logo or a promotion or an advertisement?.[2] In the past decade that goal seems more than reached. Later in the interview Walker-Smith mentions that we?ve gone from being exposed to about 500 ads a day in 1970?s to as many as 5000 a day today.

Conclusion

It is the finishing touches of the message that the advert wants to convey. ?Adventure more? is catchy, short, and best of all to the point. This slogan easily anchors itself in people?s brain.

Understanding how to make an advertising that fulfills the company?s wishes is very difficult; therefore they pay lots of money to individuals who have studied their lives on human behavior and how to control it. The amount of money in advertising couldn?t be summed better than the words of Philip Dusenberry ?I have always believed that writing advertisements is the second most profitable form of writing. The first, of course, is ransom notes?? ________________ [1] http://thinkexist.com/quotations/advertising/ [2] http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-3445_162-2015684.html [3] http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2005/nov/19/advertising.marketingandpr ...read more.
