These advertisements should be presented as an Appendix at the end of your study.
• For each of the four concepts you choose, you should present a short definition as well as a theoretical explanation of its importance for the study and understanding of consumer behavior. You will then need to explain how this concept is used in the particular ad you choose so that it becomes attractive to consumers and achieves its objectives. The objectives of an advertisement may be to increase sales of the brand, to inform consumers of the introduction of new products and services or of changes to existing products/services, to convince consumers of the benefits and value of the brand, to persuade consumers to take specific actions, etc.
