Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques
Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection
When buying a product, it is important to understand that the company is usually the one who benefits. Say an ad says buy one get one free, the company may be losing money but overall, they are still making a bunch of profit.
An easy way to persuade people these days is by using ethical persuasion, with social media selling products is simple. Especially in the beauty industry, little kids will buy anything that an influencer recommends. For example, a popular beauty influencer right now is Katie Fang. Other influencers and kids often buy products in her skincare and makeup routine.
I believe that bandwagon is a good way of advertising, with multiple people wanting to “fit in with the crowd.” using words like “world’s best” is an easy way to convince potential buyers that they will fit in if they have it. As I mentioned in my last little sentence, everybody wants to buy or have what beauty influencers recommend because they want to fit in with them.
Core Competency Reflection
One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to… communicate what each person was in charge of working on. I made sure to my part and asked my partners if they had finished their parts. If they did not finish, I would encourage them and suggest everybody go into flex to work on it.
When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to… come up with different ideas that everybody liked. Even though my group didn’t really disagree with anything, when coming up with what our product would do, I disagreed with an idea one of my partners had made.
When my group was not productive, we all decided to book flex in order to get things moving in the right direction. Since one of my group members was away there was a period of time where we didn’t work on anything. We had time over the weekend as well, but we all had other projects to work on. After we noticed when the project was due me and my group booked every flex we could together to work on and finish our project.
