It can use words, pictures, music or film to communicate its message. First, advertisers always try to make their message reach its target audience. In other words, they have to identify their target group so that they can find out their likes and dislikes and form the basis for decisions about what type of advertising techniques to use with this group. Second, advertisements often appeal to peoples hopes and dreams or emotions in order to persuade people to do something. For example, a special color or shape may excite the consumers to encourage them to buy it without hesitation. Third, advertisers usually use words, pictures, music or film to communicate its message. As well as worrying about the expense, advertisers must also consider which media are most appropriate for their product and which their target audience is most likely to see or hear. The most important, I think, is that advertisers should meet the consumers needs and interests.,Write an Advertisement Go to page 48.
