  6. The Bandwagon Appeal • Definition: the belief that something should be done because the majority of people do it. • Used to persuade consumers by suggesting that “everyone is doing it”.

  7. The Bandwagon Appeal • Advertisers play into the human desire to always feel included.

  8. Appeal to Authority/Celebrity=ETHOS • Definition: when a product is sold by using famous people or an “authority figure”. • Sometimes the celebrity or expert doesn’t have a direct connection to the product; they’re paid to endorse it.
