How effective is the advert for the Renault Megan, in persuading the target audience to purchase the product?

Adverts are used either to display a persuasive message, or to encourage the reader to buy the product advertised. The advert I will be looking at is the Renault Megane advert.

   My initial impressions are that the advertised car is on an entire A4 page by itself and the reader is not distracted by other adverts. The advert is simple in the way it is set out; it is very easy to see everything, as it isn’t complicated and busy. The background features a natural scene of rugged mountains, in contrast to the sleek manufactured lines of the Megane. There are not a lot of pictures or text but the text there is, is in a small easy read font. The car has been photographed in blue to blend into the surroundings and also the photo of the car is clear and sharp unlike the surroundings, which are blurred. This can specify to the reader that the car is clear and simple perfect for getting you from A to B with style. This car advertisement appeared in the Guardian Weekend magazine and is part of an ongoing campagn by Renault on the TV, on radio and through newspapers/ magazines, to create awareness of the Renault Company and promote the new Renault Megane model.

   This advert appeals to people that own, or would like to buy a car. It represents value for money and a comfortable ride, as well as looking good and fitting in well. The intended audience are the car buyers. More or less any age would purchase the car except the younger generation who may not be able to afford it. Middle age to older people I think would be the primary target audience.

   This car is pictured at an angle so the reader can see the full shape and detail of the car. This is very important for ...
