Empathy Appeal

Explanation

The Empathy Appeal is when a company formats an advertisement in a way that invokes human emotions, such as empathy. Companies may use the empathy appeal as a way of advertising since "...when our [people] emotions are awakened, we can be tremendously caring." (Dan Ariely, Professor of psychology at Duke University). When people's emotions have been brought out, they may be more swayed to follow what the advertisers are asking for.

Strategy 2

The advertisers are showcasing an ointment which can relieve pain as fast as a cheetah can run (implying that there will be super fast relief)
 
A company advertises a product which aims to relieve joint pain ("get ready to live without pain")

Pain Solution

This advertisement is aiming to use statistics appeal (nutritious values) in order to convince their viewers to buy their chips
 
This advertisement is asking its watchers to donate to the Cooper Health Institute in order to fasten the opening of blocked arteries. The CHI uses statistics (32 minutes faster than the national average of 90) in order to persuade its viewers to donate

Strategy 4

KFC is using the endorsement appeal method to get its viewers to buy their product (chicken). Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the most popular athlete on Earth, must've provided a huge sales effect on KFC

Strategy

Endorsement Appeal

Explanation

The endorsement appeal is when, usually, a popular celebrity supports a certain product.

Strategy

Youth Appeal

Explanation

The youth appeal is when advertisers present a product as a way that can make people feel younger. It is natural for people to want to feel young, so advertisers take advantage of this desire and use it to the best of their ability. Usually, the product in question can enhance the looks of people to be younger or can make them feel more energetic and stronger (characteristics of being young).
