Reflection Journal Multi-Media Entry 3: Power of Advertising
People are
affected by advertisements, however
there are some
that believe people
make their own
decisions and are
not affected by
advertisements. For example they
argue that people
can resist even
subliminal messages.
According to Kirkpatrick, who is a professor
on marketing in
California State University, there
is no subliminal
messages because subliminal
means below our
limit of perception . So how
can subliminal messages
affect people? However, he
has not considered
one thing. Actually people
can perceive them but not
recognize them completely. This cause
to not remember
what we saw
or smell or
heard clearly. But
this does not
mean we cannot
be affected. I
want to give
an example to
illustrate that clearly.
Kirkpatrick stated that
“...in a movie theater
in 1957, the
words ‘eat popcorn’
and ‘drink Coca-Cola’
were flashed on the
screen at a
speed no one
could perceive. During intermission
the sales of
popcorn supposedly increased
58 percent and
the sales of
Coca-Cola 18 percent.”. People in
movie theatre actually saw
the words but
they do not
know that. Can we
say they buy
coca cola and the
popcorn because of
their own free
will or the words
they see lead
to buy them? Another example is
a research which
is done by Duke University.
They took two
group of people
in research.. Participiants was
shown a video
which they need
to say which
corner of the
video the box
appear and go quickly.
However, what participiants
did not know
is that one
group also saw
apple logo which is
quckly poped up in the video
while the another
group sees IBM
logo in the
same way. The
researched reveal that participiants
who saw apple logo
were getting more
creative than the others. As
a result, we
can say that
people can easily
be affected by what
they are not
aware of. Actually, people
cannot resist what
they actually does
not recognize? So
these advertisements affect
people even people do not know.
