T.V. Ads Convince People
to Buy Goods
There are multiple ads you see on television that do
and most of the time will persuade you to buy things.

Apple Inc. is an American corporation that designs
consumer electronics, computer software, and
personal computers.
If you’ve seen an iPad advertisement on television,
then you would see that the guy or girl with the iPad is
always happy. You want to be happy too right ?
 Fast Food
McDonalds, Burger King, Jack in the Box whatever you
prefer are all successful fast food places.

These days , young children recognize those Gold

Arches more than the Christian Cross.

United States, and also provides broadband and
subscription television services. AT&T is the second
largest provider of mobile telephony service in the

The way they advertise and don’t know that they're
doing it.
