¢A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
INTRODUCTION  Did you know that the average American is bombarded by over 3,000 selling messages (advertisements and commercials) per day?. How do we handle all these messages? How do we separate fact from fiction, information from emotion? 

¢Probably the most important and most commonly used selling technique or persuasive device used in advertising is the concept of repetition. The name of the product may be repeated throughout the advertisement, and we all know that slogans, jingles and advertising characters are used over and over again.

¢ 
TASK

PROCESS

JOURNAL ENTRY. In your notebook, reflect on what you have learned from this lesson about using the Internet to gather information.

¢2. Why are some slogans memorable and others not? 

     What advertising strategy is best for reinforcing one of the above products and the slogan?
