In today's market, consumers are inundated with arguments that leverage both real and perceived values to influence purchasing decisions. This discussion explores the concepts of denotation and connotation to distinguish between these two types of values. We will analyze various forms of advertisements, including print and non-print, examining techniques such as facts, humor, storytelling, celebrity, and character appeal. Through this, we'll assess how these arguments shape perceptions and whether they fall into categories of being "good," "bad," or "impulsive buyers' nightmares."

Checking in… Today’s goals were: • Students will understand that consumer marketing is a science intended to persuade consumers to make a choice. • Students will also understand that non-print advertisements tend to fall into five categories: facts, humor, story, celebrity-appeal, and/or character-appeal. How well do you feel about these goals now? • 4: I could easily teach someone else about the intentions behind marketing and the five methods non-print advertisers use. • 3: I would be a little hesitant teaching someone else, but I think I have a decent understanding. • 2: I still have questions about the intentions behind marketing and/or the five methods non-print advertisers use. • 1: I don’t understand the intentions behind marketing and/or the five methods used by non-print advertisers whatsoever.
