  1. PROPAGANDA How “They” Convince You the deliberate spreading of such information, rumors, etc.

  2. BANDWAGON • Everybody’s doing it. You should too. • Everybody else has it. So should you. • You don’t want to be the only one without this. EX: Microsoft’s “I’m a PC”

  3. Name Calling • This techniques consists of attaching a negative label to a person or a thing. Rather than explain what they believe in, they prefer to try to tear their opponent down. EX: ManyPolitical Ads

  4. Glittering Generalities • This technique uses important-sounding "glad words" that have little or no real meaning. • Words such as “good”, “best”, “honest”, and “fair” are used in general statements that cannot be proved or disproved. EX: An ad by a cigarette manufacturer proclaims to smokers: “Don’t let them take your rights away!”

  5. TESTIMONIAL • A famous person or someone with desirable characteristics actually TELLS that they use or endorse this product. EX: Jessica Simpson – Pro Active

  6. TRANSFER • A famous person or someone with desirable characteristics just appears in the ad to make you want the product. The person does not speak about the product. EX: Michael Jordan – Hanes underwear

  7. EMOTIONAL WORDS • The writers use words or pictures that appeal to your emotions, feelings, or desires. EX: Icy Cold Coca Cola

  8. FAULTY CAUSE AND EFFECT • This technique suggests that because B follows A, A must cause B. • The writer gives reasons, but they are slanted or biased towards the product, not necessarily the complete truth. EX: “Nuclear energy means cleaner air.” 

  9. PLAIN FOLKS • The ad makes you think the product comes from just good people, nothing fancy, plain ordinary people. EX: Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing

  10. HUMOR • This one’s pretty obvious. The ad is funny.  EX: Chad and the nerds—AllTel My Circle

  11. REPETITION • The product name or outcome is repeated several times. EX: Head On – Apply directly to the forehead….
