Analysis Of The Dove Men + Care Line

Improved Essays
The Dove Men + Care line, is an advertisement you don’t see very often. Well me at least. After much research, I know one thing, I love what has been done so far with this line. The Dove Men+ Care line is focusing in on the Men + Care side of the equation, and not so much on the Dove. Yes, past commercials will bring tears to your eyes, and those emotions may entice you to buy Dove, but I believe there needs to be more than the one liner at the end telling you what product is being advertised to the consumer. In the Dove campaign tailored to women, it talks all about how real beauty is natural and not what you see in the magazines. Beauty should mean confidence, and beauty isn’t one size fits all. These products tailors to women because it really entices women to buy the Dove products. As it said in the video only 2% of women think they are beautiful, and that’s a big target market to advertise too. So obviously, feeling beautiful is something all women are looking for and Dove does a great job on bringing real women with their own beautiful features, different from all the rest, and …show more content…
Men are not the ones going out to the grocery store every week to pick up there products for their hygiene needs. This is why I believe targeting to men as well as women is really important specifically for the Dove Men + Care line. What woman doesn’t want a man who cares for the kids, and loves time with the family? The previous ads do a wonderful job of promoting this. Having women a part of the target group is important. Women are the ones going to the store buying whatever their man needs, and if a women see these ads they will not only want Dove for themselves, but Dove Men + Care for their significant other. With the new advertisements we need to make the men feel like they are being taking care of by the products in ways that the women campaign does for the

    Marketers, those who are in charge of a company’s advertisement, have to appeal to the largest group of people that they can for it to be truly successful (Source F). To do this, they attempt to create a commonplace among viewers such as Dove’s, “Camera Shy” campaign which focused on insecurity. Though this commercial focused primarily on women, it focused on women of different ages and ethnicities and only focused on women to lift this group up and fight society's pressure on women to be conscious about their body. Positive messages like this can have a long lasting impact on many, especially young adults. In “Advertising: Information or Manipulation?”…

    As a result, the advertisement supports gender stereotypes by perpetuating males with domineering attitudes while women are left to be passive and helpless. Although the woman may appear to be allowing this kind of behavior, this is only portraying the woman as a target due to her feminine figure being shown in a degrading manner. She is viewed as less than due to the position she is in, all the men are overlooking her and she quickly becomes the target for the men. Jean Kilbourne in the article "Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt" goes into great detail explaining how advertisements can affect females in society.…

    This strategy is by Steve Craig explains that although this strategy may be stereotypical and gender betraying, these ads are what makes the certain products progress and stay successful. It is proven that commercials in the day time relate more to women, the reason for that is that years ago all women worked at home and usually did not have jobs. These women who were working at home cooking, and taking care of the children were watching TV throughout the day that being said, these women were more likely to see an ad that related to their interests. It is also proven that commercials related to men often would play at night because the men would come home from work in the evening. These men were more likely to be interested in the ads that would be played at night rather than if they stayed home from work and watched the ads that were directed towards women.…

    Physical beauty plays a captivating role in amongst many young people yet true aesthetics are derived internally. “That's always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they're pretty. It's like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste,” John Green rationalizes. The pressure to become physically beautiful plays a greater role in lives of female more so than males. Beauty commercials target females more often; many females fall victim to obsessing about their physical appearance wearing gobs of makeup, leggings, a trendy top and shoes that are easily identifiable to most people.…

    Advertisements are all around us, they have become part of our everyday life. This makes it easier to not pay any attention to them. Since we really are not paying attention to advertisements, it makes the companies who make these ads work harder to get our attention. I have compared two advertisements, although both advertisements are not selling the same, or even similar products, I believe the way they are relaying the message is something they have in common.…

    There are two companies that come to mind when it comes to identifiable messages to the market. Dove soap would be my first example. Their message since the beginning in 1957 has been to provide a new clean and leaving the skin moisturized in the process. As time went by and social issues emerged, Dove made it a point to stand for "real women" and be a force in the movement to raise the self esteem of their customers, men and women alike. Thier marketing strategy does differ when it comes to gender but the message stays the same.…
