Hovis-'Go On Lad'

This advertisement by Hovis, a UK brand of flour and bread, was released in 2008 and used powerful storytelling to evoke strong emotions in the viewers by documenting the 122 years of British history since the brands launch.

Storytelling as an influential technique is used very effectively in the advert in which it tells the tale of a boy buying a loaf of bread and witnessing key moments of British history as he makes his way back home. Evidence for this technique comes from Harris (2008), who demonstrated that higher levels of story in an adverts message can lead to higher levels of response in Self-referencing processing measures as well as likability and ad-induced brand interest.

The advert by taking the viewer through time in British history illustrates how ‘Hovis’ has always  been a British product and has been there for its consumers in both good times and during hardship. This association of their brand with British history inspires feelings of patriotism in the consumer and will encourage them to buy domestic goods, in this case, Hovis bread. Research by Han (1988), found that ‘patriotic emotion’ had a significant effect on purchase intent, in his study 212 consumers were asked to evaluate 2 categories of domestic and foreign-made products, 116 TVs and 96 automobiles. It was found that patriotic emotion led to purchase intent being greater for domestic products than foreign-made products.

Estrella Damm 2012

This Spanish beer ‘’Estrella Damn’’ advertisement uses the story of a young man in an idyllic and enviable holiday to discretely introduce the product. As the man travels through amazing sites and meets beautiful friends, the act of drinking an ‘’Estrella Damn’’ beer is highlighted as the perfect connection between all events and people. The attractiveness technique can be observed not only in the main character of the storyline and the women that surround him (DeBono & Telesca, 1990); but also in the storyline itself, set in the beautiful context of Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca (a world heritage site).

Also an unforgettable background song makes the viewers’ remember the advertisement and thus the product.  Alexomanolaki, Loveday and Kennett (2006) show in their study that music is indeed a competent method of facilitating implicit learning and recall of the advertised product. In order to test this hypothesis they carried out a series of experiments with both musicians and non-musician subjects. In the experiment an unknown advert was included along three other adverts and in the middle of a television show. The target advert was produced in four different audio versions: jingle; music and voiceover; instrumental music; and sound effects and voiceover (which functioned as the control version). Later, an overall memory test for the television show, an indirect and a direct memory test fort the product were completed. Results from the indirect memory test show that all groups selected more words that were related to the target advert; meanwhile the control group chose more amount of neutral words. The experiment concluded that both musicians and non-musicians, under non-attentive conditions, have reinforced perception of the advert because of the music.

Uncommon begging methods

http://believe-or-not.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/funny-unusual-begging-methods.html

Very often we see people begging in the street. Very different ways of begging can be observed, such as playing instruments, using kids/animals/ disabilities, plain begging or in some cases humor. In the link above we can observe several examples of begging using humor to attract attention and increase possibility of a donation.

An empirical study from Geuens and Pelsmacker (2002) provides evidence that using humor in persuasive messages does increase positive affect towards the advertised product. There were 510 participants in this study and both humorous and non-humorous advertising stimuli were used to show that humor has a positive impact on the attitudes of both high and low Need For Cognition-individuals, but that attitude formation takes place in different way. In individuals low in NFC a direct effect of humor on attitudes is found, while for individuals high in NFC and indirect influence via biased cognition is found.

Eight fictitious advertisements were made in four different products: paper handkerchiefs (low in involvement, informational product) insurance (high in involvement, informational product) a snack (low in involvement, transformational product) and holidays (high in involvement, transformational product). Two versions were used: humorous with slogans and pictures, and non-humorous just with slogans. Perceived humor, need for cognition and attitudes towards ad were all measured. Need for cognition didn’t exert any influence on number of positive ad cognitions but high NFC-individuals did have more negative cognitions towards ad. Use of humor had a positive impact on all affective responses increasing the number of positive cognitions towards ads and decreasing the number of negative ones.

The results from this experiment could be also relevant for begging, as the humor would increase the positive response towards the person and hence the possibility of the passerby giving money.
