Ineffective video: Worst ever pitch, Worst ever product on BBCs Dragons Den In this video, the person who is showing his inventions to the “Dragons” is doing an ineffective presentation for many reasons: The presentation is not well prepared, it has a poor starting concept and it does not have a structured body with an overview of the product, and how this product is going to be important for the society.
The presentation falls short of data and images that help to support the arguments.
The inventor has not ability to answer the questions from the audience, or anticipate questions about the product. He creates confusion.
He uses negative words referring to the product like: “…they do not like it…”, “…it is not approved yet…”

    With the countless number of slogans, it is often difficult to determine who has the right to a particular slogan. As a result, companies often argue over the right to their slogans. The correspondence letters between Mr. Herbert of the Coca-Cola Company and Mr. Seaver of Grove Press serve to highlight one of these arguments. In the correspondence letters, both company representatives use various rhetorical techniques to argue their point of view on the right to use the now-famous “It’s the real thing!” slogan. Ultimately, however, Mr. Seaver creates a witty rejoinder through the use of sarcasm and mockery that is more persuasive than the seemingly logical argument of Mr. Herbert.…

    Nothing is impossible. At some point everything in this world was impossible, until someone broke the barrier to make it all possible. Speaker Mack Ebeling does a wonderful job explaining the barrier he broke when faced with a difficult task, as well as inspiring the audience to challenge anything that is considered impossible. Ebeling, however does not reach this point until the end of his speech. This effect adds a deeper thought process for the audience, letting them think about how he broke the impossible, before he even puts the idea of nothing being impossible in their heads.…

    This strategy can make a situation seem a lot better than what it really is. In George W. Bush’s political campaign, the only thing he talked about was the good in his campaign and what things he would do for the country. However, he did not mention how much money he would be spending, or any negatives about his campaign. The beer commercial also appealed to the audience by making the beer sound amazing but neglecting to mention all the negative things about the beer. This technique is often used to make the product or campaign seem like the only choice, because why settle for less than the…

As Richard Louv argues, the changing culture of our world has resulted in glorifying technology and ignoring nature’s value. Where the accepted synthetic nature makes “true” nature irrelevant. Where looking out the car window rarely occurs; easily replaceable with a television screen on the back of mom’s seat.…
