Summary
The most important words in advertising are the ones you don't see or hear. Why Ads Work proposes that ads rarely lie, they merely allow plenty of room for self-deception. Ads use humor, drama, and entertainment because people being humored and entertained are not critical - they "suspend their

    Manipulative Advertising

    • 896 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Use advertisements to manipulate people is sinister because "normal" people's freedom to choose freely is taken away. The important thing to remember is that it is not what was said and or done by the advertiser, but how a person (people) respond to what is trying to influence them. It is somewhat like lying, but it is the truth stretched out so far that it never seems to reach a lie. Some advertisers do lie and are held accountable in the sense that their business suffers because of it, but for the most part manipulative advertising is very common and well practiced especially in the United States.…

    Puffery in Advertising

    • 3277 Words
    • 14 Pages

    Puffery is the legal term for ad claims that state opinions rather than facts and that are excused from legal control even when the advertiser disbelieves them. Advertisers goals and objectives consist of trying to persuade people into buying a product or service through various typed of methods. Companies may delivers certain messages about its products, compare them to similar items, list facts about them, or state vague claims about them, which cannot be proved or disproved. Making these vague claims is known as “puffery,” where the advertiser “puffs up” the product to seem more than it is. This can seem misleading or deceiving to consumers because puffery is not illegal and is a common and effective method used in advertising. I think there is nothing wrong about puffery because it is a necessary technique to enhance advertising, in which I encourage further use of it.…

    Deceptive Advertising

    • 1531 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Under both Federal and State law, an ad is unlawful if it tends to mislead or deceive even if it doesn't actually fool anyone. If your ad is deceptive you'll face legal problems whether you intended to mislead the customer or not. What counts is the overall impression created by the ad, not the technical truthfulness of the individual parts. Consumers are greatly influenced by countless advertisements urging then to purchase products that they may or may not need or want. The reason that many companies and business falsely inform consumers is purely for more business. If a company feels that a product does not have high enough quality as their competitors, the company will mark down the price and maybe put the product in an eye-catching box or make up a catchy slogan. A lot of consumers can see right through this scheme, but most do not. While many of these advertisements honestly inform and educate consumers, some are false, deceptive and even illegal.…
