Fresh Step Advertisement Analysis

Improved Essays
Statistics from the American Pet Products Association show that roughly 65 percent of U.S households have a pet and around 42.9 million of these homes own at least one cat. For these owners cat litter is a basic necessity, but when comparing prices a 25 pound bag of “Fresh Step Odor Shield with Febreze Freshness” costs $11.99 while the off-brand costs only $4.06 (price check through Walmart.com). Even though most consumers can purchase the off-brand cat litter, which does virtually the same job and costs around $8 less, Fresh Step advertisement creates a sense of superiority amongst other brands to justify their price difference. Fresh Step makes sure all cat owners gravitate towards their product by ensuring a sense of unbeatable cleanliness.
In this ad, the product appeals to all cat owners because

Since the intended layout made you uncontrollably pay more attention to the heavy side you didn’t pay much attention to the gray cat easily hiding behind the curtain and chair. However, the cats golden eyes show how it has been watching you the entire time. Additionally, the small gray text at the bottom saying “Visit Freshstep.com for more games & rewards” allows more consumer interaction and a way to learn more about the product while having fun. The ad then assures you in smaller gray text that “[…] you might start wondering where your cat went” which explains that the reason you couldn’t find the cat was because of the odor shield technology in the cat litter and the Febreze freshness. With the extra time spent on the ad, the brand made a lasting impression and increased the chance that the consumer will choose the

    Along with myself many other people felt the same way. What is it about this ad that makes it so appealing? When a company produces an advertisement, its main objective is to connect with the audience and get the product the company is showcasing to sell.

    For example, the author of this commercial obviously thinks that Charmin is the number one brand for toilet paper. That is all an opinion though because everybody has different tastes. Since the author believes that Charmin is the best toilet paper around, it must also mean that the author believes that it is the softest and longest lasting toilet paper. Another appeal that is used is pathos. The bears set off an emotional aspect that gets the audience to watch the commercial.…

    It is a well-known fact that a company’s image is dependent on whoever their spokesperson is, and by choosing this specific dorky yet admirable narrator, FurKids easily made their way onto the radar of pet owners and animal lovers alike. The narrator repeatedly makes a fool of himself, whether it is through his inability to pronounce “Siamese” correctly, or the terrible puns he makes as the featured cat runs on a hamster-style wheel. These cheap laughs may not be funny to every viewer, but there still remains a large population of animal lovers who appreciate a simple laugh, which can be proved with a single YouTube search about “Funny Cats.” Not only does FurKids play into the humor of their target audience, but they also gain credibility. While this would be false in any other occasion, the lack of professionalism is one of the biggest selling points of this advertisement.…

    The message of this advertising is obviously to attract us and get our attention. This ad has to infleunce us or encourage us to get some food from Macdonald or more precisely to go and buy some "filet-o-fish" .So they want to convince us, to buy their food , make us want their food.

    The Onion poked fun at the ways in which products are marketed at consumers using satire. The MagnaSoles article references false logos such as pseudoscience as well other nonscientific terms and concepts to advertise their product.

Through these strategies, The Onion is implying that other products are marketed ridiculously to consumers. This MagnaSoles advertisement does not put its best foot forward with all of the false logos.…

    Evidence of pathos contained in the advertisement is the main rhetorical strategy used to convince the audience. The commercial then shows heart wrenching visuals of animals living in shelters due to abuse. These images slowly transition across the screen, each time showing a different animal that looks sad and neglected. The images chosen are especially dramatic in order for the audience to see how desperately these deprived animals need their donations. Seeing the animals causes the average viewer to become emotional and sympathetic.…

    Although it might be hard to see at first, these two POM Wonderful advertisements are actually fairly similar. These two different advertisements actually use some of the same strategies to attract the reader's attention and get the consumer interested in their product even though they are of a different medium. The first advertisement uses a printed image that shows simple colors and a strong message to encourage people to buy their product because it gives them antioxidants; however, the second advertisement uses a powerful dragon made out of their “crazy healthy” juice to create the illusion that the juice is as powerful as a dragon, yet the advertisement still sends the same message and same audience but uses a different strategy. These two…

    Budweiser knows that the audience reception of this advertisement will be an emotional reception. Due to the fact that most of the viewers are probably pet owners themselves, and would never want to do anything that would affect their pet. People tend to be more sympathetic towards dogs because in the world dogs are seen as being a man’s best friend.
