The Cigarette and Altima advertisements share the similarity of integrating the red, white, and blue colors amongst not only the background of the ad but amidst the products themselves. These colors help establish the patriotic feel, ultimately leading consumers to not purchase the product because of the product itself but because the desire to feel more Americanized. Moreover, each ad contains a symbol of the American dream amongst the advertisement. For the cigarette ad this symbol is the Statue of Liberty while for the Altima advertisement this symbol can be found in the advertiser’s choice to promote this car on the 4th of July weekend. These two symbols connect in that they both symbolize freedom amongst people of the United States. Associating their products with this idea of freedom immensely appeals to the consumers even if the product itself is incapable of directly providing it to the consumer. Focusing solely on attaining income, the advertisers fail to acknowledge that by using the American dream to sell their products they are sculpting the American dream into an idea more closely related to

In addition to their green initiatives, Ford is looking at other trends regarding consumer elasticity and behavior towards the automobile market. In addition to dealing with the shift in consumer short-term behavior (going from “I really want” to “I do not really need”), the automotive industry, along with all others are wondering what the long-term change will be in consumer behavior due to the recent recession. According to Barkley US, there will be significant long-term changes in consumer behavior. Most notably, the changes will be the consumer going back to a basics mentality, the use of technology and green strategy, and women influencing more purchase decisions. The biggest changes will take place in America and parts of Europe, where housing and stock market bubbles have imploded and unemployment has soared.

Being in a spiralling economy, the automobile industry must step up their games to produce attractive advertisements. Creativity is crucial to attract potential buyers and gain more sales.

“The Language of Advertising” written by Charles A. O’Neill is an excerpt arguing as well as supporting popular criticisms against the advertising language by William Lutz, and other known criticisms of advertising.

The use of propaganda attracted thousands of eyes to the War, and without knowing it, created what we call today as typical advertising. After WWII many people with good reason, were concerned over the topic of scientific success, due to the recent usage of the Nuclear Bomb by the United States.

Why does it raise such concern? What case can be made for and against the advertising business?” (O’Neill 369). For you to understand the concept of advertising, Charles O’Neill makes it clear that you must first understand that it’s not about truth, virtue, or positive social values, but money.

Advertisements are public marketing announcements in the form of television commercials, radio broadcasts, or printed posters with the objective of selling a product or service. (“Advertising,” n.d., para. 2) Advertisements can change the way you feel about anything including yourself.
