Prius Ad Analysis

Its 11:00, I’m tired, so let’s analyze this ad late-nighters!


(I scanned this using a printer, so it might look a bit funny.)So they use plenty of advertising techniques in this prius ad, and I’m just going to list a couple.

Advante Garde: This is the suggestion that the product puts the user ahead of the times. Of course, you can see this through the futuristic-looking scenery of buildings and hills, along with a road leading into the sun, or the “future.” Using this technique is an appeal to the need dominate, to move forward in the world. They also appeal to the need to escape, to go off into the distance.

Gestalt: Sublimal Persuasion: Here, I’ll talk about the way the lighting is used.  Obviously, it’s artificial, creating an almost dreamlike state with the sun peeking out from half the clouds. This appeals to the need to escape from the real world and into the dreamlike .

Facts and Figures: Here, they use facts to make the product seem more credible. Most people probably don’t understand the facts, they probably just sound good. Using this appeals to the need to satisfy curiosity, satisfying the consumer’s desire to know more.
