Written by Kahlia Hannah


Continued from page 1

Now, you may be wondering, if hard-sell commercials work so well, why don’t allrepparttar Coca Colas and McDonalds and Volkswagens use them? Because they are more concerned with selling an image. When companies try to sell an image instead of an identity, their marketing is not fact based. They often sellrepparttar 101169 intangible benefits: you will be cool, you will be sophisticated, and your entire well-being will be improved by using our product. Creating an image can sometimes become a game of who looks better, instead of who is better.

We all like to dream, but most of us are grounded in reality. We may occasionally be taken in byrepparttar 101170 model with flowing, auburn hair who only spent five dollars on a box of store dye to achieve it, orrepparttar 101171 car full of partying teenagers who love their car so much they would rather remain in it than attend a party, but we will never believe it.

The reason hard-sell commercials work so well is that they promoterepparttar 101172 tangible, rational benefits of a product. It is difficult to promoterepparttar 101173 practical value of perfume or beer.

So when you decide to market using television commercials, remember who your audience is: people who have jobs and kids and responsibilities. In other words, real people who live inrepparttar 101174 real world.
