You see ads every day, whether it's on a web page, before a movie, or in
the middle of a TV show, and it's easy to say "they're just ads" because, at
worst, they feel like a nuisance or interruption. A lot of people have
difficulty accepting the idea that ads are manipulative because we want
to believe we're in complete control of our choices. While the concept of
advertising isn't inherently problematic, we've moved on from the "Eat at
Joe's" sign to far more complex and sometimes even moving, cinematic
messages that are designed to create significant memories of a product.
These memories are created because an ad succeeds at making us feel
something—whether it's good or bad—and that emotional response can
have a profound effect on how we think and the choices we make.
The Problem: Advertising Is for the Rich, Not You
Advertising exists because there's a product a company wants to sell
2
and they want people to know about it so they can buy it. This much is
obvious. Sometimes that product is a cleaning spray or a microwave
oven, but often it's yet another article of clothing, a gadget, another
meal out, or something else you don't necessarily need. These
advertisements aren't for the average person with a small amount of
spending cash, but rather they're for the rich.
1.
Advertising exists to tell you about a product, which can be as simple as
"Brand X soap cleans your dishes" or "Restaurant Y serves food." Of
course, when there's competition in the market the ads you see need to be
a little more
descriptive in order to set products apart. For example, a restaurant may
serve a reasonably tasty, unhealthy hamburger in under a minute, but why
would you choose theirs over another? Because they said so.
Basically, if you're not prepared to think—and you often are not when
you're watching television or reading a magazine—you'll pretty much
accept any suggestion if it is offered to you. Since you're being so passive,
you may not even realize it's happening.
What can you do? Think. When your parents used to tell you "because I
said so" you probably weren't ready to accept that answer. Don't do it
subconsciously when watching an ad. Think about what the ad is saying.
Keep your brain active when you're looking at ads and you'll be better off.
2.
No ad is more effective than one that makes you feel something because
emotion and memory are tightly linked.
If you've ever purchased movie theater popcorn—which is among the
unhealthiest foods you can eat (not to mention overpriced)—or chosen
something pretty over something functional, you've made an emotional
choice based on desire rather than thinking about it logically. This is not to
say emotions are bad, but that without a balance of emotion and logic you
might not always make the best choices. Emotional ads try to capitalize on
that phenomenon. An effective ad gets you to buy the product, not buy the
product and be happy with it. When you have an emotional response to an
advertisement, you need to be wary of any decisions you want to make
regarding the product it's selling.
3.
When you view an ad, it helps to ask why. Why am I reacting the way I'm
reacting? Why does this product solve a particular problem? If the product
interests you, the answer should too. Look for product reviews (while
being aware of fakes) and other information that can help you determine if
what you want to buy can actually do what you think it can do. Don't buy
blindly— do your research first.

We're not so blind that we believe our studio apartments are servant- filled mansions, but we see people in
similar situations on television who live in a way we couldn't afford. Take the show Friends, for
example. Rachel and Monica shared a gigantic apartment in Manhattan despite Rachel working, for some time,
as a waitress and Monica as a chef. Collectively they enjoyed a lifestyle they couldn't afford. This is one
example of many in which you'll find TV characters living outside their means with no consequences.
Entertainment shows us average people living a better lifestyle than they can afford without many
monetary concerns. And then we're shown advertisements, compelling us to buy the lifestyle depicted in our
