Plain Propaganda
The speaker's portrayal of themselves as someone who has had a
similar experience to the listener and understands why they may be
skeptical or cautious about accepting the speaker's point of view is the
most important part of this appeal. In this way, the speaker instills
trust and comfort in the audience, leading them to believe that the
speaker and the audience share common goals and, as a result, should
agree with the speaker. Using a "ordinary background," such as a park
or a building, will usually result in more customers, depending on the
item you are advertising.
