    V&S had to keep in mind various issues that they had to go through before deciding an appropriate brand name and brand image. For the launch in the new target market, US, V&S carried out a thorough market research on the previous ad campaigns for the past ten years. This gave them an idea about the target market segment and their choice of acceptance for the ads related to the industry. They found that most ads were exaggerated and snobbish, featuring people dressed in expensive attire and lavish lifestyles with a small liquor bottle tucked in some corner; where none of those ads were targeted at people below forty. As most of the previous campaigns were targeted at people above forty and were quite serious ads, V&S decided to expand their…

    The first advertisement I found was of the Ford motor company. In the advertisement you see a sleek and beautiful new Ford car. It is on the set for a movie, showing off its beauty to the cameras and the people that are on set too with the car. You see props all along the set, we know those aren't real, the only real prop they are using on that set is the beautiful ford car. The other advertisement that I found was one of a family all together, gathered around the mother. The father is standing up behind the chair, his son is off to the side, and the mother is sitting in the chair while her little girl is sitting on her lap. It seems that they are all gathered together so that the mother can read the book that she is holding in hers, to them for their enjoyment. This advertisement was selling life insurance for the whole family. Each of the advertisements is targeting a specific group of people that they want to bring into what they are trying to preach about. The Ford motor company wants the group of the middle…

Phones down, please.” The layout and color of the phones on the bar counter are put in that spot to make a glass shape, The company shows all three different appeals mostly trying to persuade buyers.
