Review Creative Brief (specifically objectives section) The nature of the product The preferences of the client (very important) Common sense and gut feeling
Increases viewer interest in the ad and the persuasiveness of the ad Used with health and beauty products, idea marketing, insurance Most experts believe that a moderate level of fear is most effective
Print Ad Example This ad reminds people of the dangers of overexposure to the sun.
Used in 30% of all advertisements. Excellent at capturing attention. Score high in recall tests. Should be related directly to customer benefit. Or else, the joke can overpower the message.
Humour attracts attention Humour does not harm comprehension (in some cases it may even aid comprehension) Humour is not more effective at increasing persuasion Humour does not enhance source credibility Humour enhances liking Humour that is relevant to the product is superior to humour that is unrelated to the product Audience demographic factors (e.g. Gender, Ethnicity, age) affect the response to humourous advertising appeals The nature of the product affects the appropriateness of a humourous treatment Humour is more effective with existing products than with new products Humour is more appropriate for low-involvement products and feeling-oriented products than for highinvolvement products
Subliminal techniques Nudity or partial nudity Sexual suggestiveness Overt sexuality Sensuality
Research Results Sex and nudity do increase attention. Rated as being more interesting. Often leads to strong feelings about the advertisement. Brand recall is lower. Often interferes with message comprehension
The presence of female (or male) decorative models improves ad recognition, but not brand recognition. The presence of a decorative model influences emotional and objective evaluations of the product among both males and female audiences. The presence of an attractive model produces higher purchase intentions when the product is sexually relevant than if it was not sexually relevant. Attractive models produce a higher level of attention to ads than less attractive models.
Be aware of differences in the international arena. Should be an integral part of the product. Should utilize a variety of models in terms of age, size, ethnicity and gender. Should consider using regular person models. Be careful sex does not overpower advertisement. Consider shifting to more sensuality.
Has intrusive value. Gains attention and increases the retention of visual information. Can increase persuasiveness of an advertisement. Design Questions

Frequency is the number of times they are exposed to the message. Frequency simply measures the number of times a person sees your message in a given advertising schedule. One person may see your commercial three times over your advertising flight. That would be a frequency of three.
