3 Advertising Techniques • Brainstorm: What strategies do you think advertisers use? The three we will discuss: • The Bandwagon Appeal (Ad Populus) • Appeal to Authority/Celebrity (Ad Verecuniam) • The Association Principle (Non Sequitur)
The Bandwagon Appeal • Definition: the belief that something should be done because the majority of people do it. • Used to persuade consumers by suggesting that “everyone is doing it”.
The Bandwagon Appeal • Advertisers play into the human desire to always feel included.
Appeal to Authority/Celebrity=ETHOS • Definition: when a product is sold by using famous people or an “authority figure”. • Sometimes the celebrity or expert doesn’t have a direct connection to the product; they’re paid to endorse it.

ETHOS • Advertisers use this technique because they know that many consumers admire celebrities and respect an expert’s opinion.
PATHOS • Definition: drawing a mental link between a product and desirable qualities like love, wealth, success, family, and patriotism.
Advertisers use this technique in order to get consumers to connect their product with something desirable or meaningful.
LOGOS • Stick to the FACTS.
