The Influence of Advertising on Consumer Behaviour

In the business world, the most crucial step is to attract customers to buy your product. Advertising is the most effective strategy for accomplishing this. Advertising allows businesses to reach a wider audience and create awareness about their product or service. By strategically placing ads on various platforms, businesses can effectively communicate the value and benefits of their offerings, ultimately influencing customers' purchasing decisions. Additionally, advertising helps businesses stay competitive in the market by differentiating themselves from competitors and establishing a strong brand presence.


There are many different techniques to use when creating an ad: emotional appeal, the bandwagon effect, testimonials, statistics, glittering generalities, and pain folks appeal. The emotional appeal technique consists of strong emotional language that connects with your feelings and desires, making one want to purchase this product as it promises to fulfil their needs and bring them happiness. The bandwagon effect technique creates a sense of belonging and popularity by showing that many others are already using and benefiting from the product. By using testimonials, businesses profit, as many customers will buy the product solely because their favourite celebrity or content creator did. Statistics provide factual evidence to support the product's claims, while glittering generalities use vague and positive words to create a favourable impression. Lastly, the pain folks appeal technique highlights the negative consequences of not using the product. By learning about the effects and different techniques in advertising, one can avoid falling into consumerism as well as learn how to influence people to buy your product.
