Advertisements are designed to persuade us, but which techniques are effective in talking us in to buy things?

    1     Normalization can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement—where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films. Beth, an assistant professor of marketing and advertisement, tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious.     2     It seems that a subtle (不易察觉的) approach can be more persuasive.

Appealing to our emotions is another strategy advertisers use.     3     Jannet, a senior lecturer in communication studies, explains that for fear to be an effective tool, we need to believe: when fears are raised, people tend to take action to make a difference, like buying something. But when fears are exaggerated (夸大) or we feel helpless, we are likely to switch off.

Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support.     4     The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products. These studies say that seeing a more human side of people can lead us to believe them.     5    

So, it seems that the best technique advertisers can use to persuade people is to fully understand the people they are selling to.

A.Some of them use fear to persuade us.
B.One way is simply to describe something as normal.
C.Superstars are gradually losing their commercial value.
D.We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something.
E.However, a researcher in marketing points out this may not be the best strategy.
F.A common technique to make an emotional impact is to create a memorable slogan.
G.And endorsements (代言) from characters who admit their mistakes can be more believable.
