PERSUASIVE WRITING ADVERTISING Ad targeting and techniques
WHAT IS A TARGET AUDIENCE? Most ads are directed to a target audience —a group of people who advertisers think will buy or use the product. Advertisers create their ads to persuade the target audience to do, buy, or think something. They also put their ads where the target audience is likely to see them.
WHICH KINDS OF PRODUCTS MIGHT A PARTICULAR GROUP BE INTERESTED IN? What kinds of products might be targeted at 12 year olds? What are some other target audiences? What sort of products might be targeted towards your parents? What sort of products might be targeted towards your grandparents?
WHAT TECHNIQUES DO ADVERTISERS USE? Advertisers use specific techniques to reach their target audience. Once consumers understand these techniques and how they’re used, they can decide for themselves what they think about the product.
