Exhibit 9-5 Nutri-Grain appeals to<br />

consumers’ self-esteem and respect in this<br />

clever ad<br />

switched to it, the number of experts who recommend it, or its leadership position in<br />

the market. The main point of this advertising appeal is that the wide use of the brand<br />

proves its quality or value and other customers should consider using it. The Excedrin<br />

ad in Exhibit 9-4 uses this type of advertising appeal.<br />

Emotional Appeals Emotional appeals relate to the customers’ social and/or<br />

psychological needs for purchasing a product or service. Many consumers’ motives for<br />

their purchase decisions are emotional, and their feelings about a brand can be more<br />

important than knowledge of its features or attributes. Advertisers for many products<br />

and services view rational, information-based appeals as dull. Many advertisers believe<br />

appeals to consumers’ emotions work better at selling brands that do not differ<br />

markedly from competing brands, since rational differentiation of them is difficult. 4<br />

Many feelings or needs can serve as the basis for advertising appeals designed to<br />

influence consumers on an emotional level, as shown in Figure 9-1. These appeals are<br />

based on the psychological states or feelings directed to the self (such as pleasure or<br />

excitement), as well as those with a more social orientation (such as status or recognition).<br />
