Answer:
ReplyDelete1. I think product placement is a successful form of advertising. It is easy to give us the impression of the product when we are watching TV shows or watching movies. Such as when we are watching a Situation Comedy, we can see many kinds of food. If some fast food restaurant use some product placement about their new products of food in this Situation Comedy, we won't notice it, but we can’t forget it. I have seen an ads about an airline in a movie. At first I thought it was a fictional airline until I saw an office building of this airline. So, I will never forget this airline.
2. I think teenagers in society are easy for advertisers to influence. I do not think advertising regulations should made stronger to protect teenagers. There are three reasons. First, teenagers do not have enough money to buy the product in the ads. Second, teenagers are easy to change their attention to a new ads. Last, teenagers just feel the ads cool and do not have a strong desire to buy it.
I think product placement is a successful form of advertising. Because product placement is a kind of advertisement different from the poster or video. People can fast forward the video advertisement and ignore the poster showed in their daily life. However, the product placement can not be ignored and fast forwarded, we have no choice but to accept the advertisement in a TV show or a film. For example, the sports cars advertisement in film are product placement, such as Transformer, people even go to the cinema for the product placement, the sports cars, which is the most attractive thing in the movie.
ReplyDeleteI think the children are easy for advertisers to influence. Because I was influenced by some advertisement when I was a child. For the youth, most of them can’t see through the appearance to the essence, which means that they would affect by the advertisement and follow what they saw. If the violence factors appears in the advertisement, these might mislead the children and ruin their life. In my opinion, the advertisement regulations should be made stronger to protect the children.
In my opinion, product placement is successful form of advertising without doubt. Actually, product placement will be helpful to image-building of the products or the companies. Take Corona, a kind of beer, for instance, the company trying to let Corona appear in the movie, The Fast and The Furious, and even ask the main character say the product’s name. Moreover, in The Fast and The Furious 7, they try to compare to Belgian ale and Corona. It was really impressed audience that Vin Diesel said Belgian ale I'm more of a corona man. It is a typical example of advertising of product placement. Corona becomes memorable for us. Every time, when it comes to beer, it is easily to remember Corona, which Vin Diesel loves more. It will inspire customers to try Corona as they want to buy beer.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to say which group in society is easier for advertising to influence. I think the advertisement’s effect should depend on products. For example, The toy’s advertisement have more influence on children, but the cosmetic’s commercial will effect woman more. Since people easily become irrational in front of the products they interested, it is very significant that advertising regulations be made stronger to protect these groups. Customers have the rights of knowing the trues about the products.
There are a lot of product placement in TV drama, and Movie etc… I think product placement is a successful form of advertising. This is because, people usually prefer to get item which have seen before. When we are watching a drama, actors use products like a cell phone. Thus, when we are going to mobile shop to buy a new phone, we would like to get a cell phone that we have seen before at TV drama. Also when we go to market to buy food, products which advertised by product placement would be pop on the brain, so that we would like to buy products which is familiar
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers are can be confused easily by advertisements. This is because they haven’t experiences a lot, thus they do not know well what is good quality or not. Also I think advertising regulations should be made to protect teenagers. They could be addicted something easily, and usually people are puberty when they are teenagers. It is possible to buy accidently. Thus, advertisements should be controlled to protect teenagers.
1. If I look back myself, I am positive that the product placement is a successful from advertising. The reason that I said looking back myself is because of my ordinary life while checking my Facebook. I am sure that lots of people these days use social networks. Scrolling down Facebook page, we can recognize lots of pages liked by other friends, advertisement pages or articles. We seems like we do not much care about those, however, it is not. It is very easy to stuck in our brain unconsciously. It can influence us when we find something that we actually have seen but we could not remember or remember. For example, during this summer vacation, I have seen lots of advertisements of water parks. It kept show up on Facebook with number with a big size letter. It is trying to tell us they are doing a big discount so we should buy the ticket and maybe should tell other people. I always did not care about those ads but one day it came up in my mind when I decided to go water park with my friends. As consequence, I remembered those ads and searched them. I think that is the effect what we are talking here.
ReplyDelete2. I personally think that women are the one who could be easily influenced by the advertisers. Usually, women buy the products for lots of reasons. First, they love to shop and they spend more time shopping then the guys do. On top of that if they are a mother of a family they should be attracted by the food advertisements or products that could be use for the family.
There are often frauds on advertisements, especially if the ad is from a company you never heard of. However, lots of people are attracted from the benefits that the ads faking to people. In order to stop this, the regulation has to be restricted or even more because it seems like there are still lots of them.

ReplyDeleteWhich groups in society do you think are easy for advertisers to influence (children, teenagers, men, or women, from example)? Should advertising regulations be made stronger to protect these groups?
I think that product placement is a successful form of advertising because other advertisements spent many time and money. Also product placement advertisements have to spent a lot of money. Compare with other advertisements is not too much. In addition, people can skip other kinds of ads. However, product placement ads can’t skip because this ads include in TV shows or movies. People can see many product placement in TV or movie. For example, in TV show, my favorite actor had Dr Martens shoes. Therefore, later I bought Dr Martens shoes, because I want to be a my favorite actor.
I think that teenagers can easily get influence for advertisements because that period, many teenagers found their identity. Harmful advertisements can give bad influence to them. Also teenagers take advertisement saying as it is even though companies tell a lie. As a result, government have to more strict about advertising law. If companies tell a lie, they have to pay fine and stop to commercial.
1)
ReplyDeleteIn my view, product placement is a successful form of advertisements. First the main reason is product placement can affect people a lot and can let you think about their products. In addition, it is not a directly way to show the advertisements, but it definite effect way to sell products. Then I want to state my opinion about products placement, we can easily see that in everywhere, like when you watch some series or TV shows. For example, in the movie some actors will wear some clothes with the company’s logo. When you see that logo, you will think about which brand he wears or might you will buy this brand in the mall. So I think the product placement definitely is a good way to using in the advertisements. Also, talk about the products placement I have seen I have to say the movie transformer; this movie is the perfect example about how product placement works. No matter the cars, clothes, even the milk also were advertisements.
2)
In my opinion, I state that children and women these two groups are easy to be influenced. First, children can’t recognize which products are the really portable. They only use their instinct to choose. So if companies know that, it will persuade children to buy it easily. Second, women have multiple identities; she will be mother, wife, and herself. So women always need to consider everything and compare different company’s products, if the company can send some information about your product’s benefits, women will buy it.

1. In my opinion, I think product placement is a successful form of advertising. Firstly, product placement represents is an opportunity for brand. It is constantly making it easier for customers to perceive the content. Secondly, a large number of companies has used product placement to earn revenue. I have seen one Ford Mustang product placement ads in the movie Need For Speed. I really want to buy one Mustang in the future after watching this exciting movie. It means that product placement worked.
2. In my opinion, I think children are easy for advertisers to influence. Children might get influence easier form media. Just like when children watch TV advertising about the new types toy, If it was really interesting they would like to ask their parents for buying it. I think the advertising regulations should be made stronger to protect children. Because, they don’t have enough ability of cognizance.
