Persuasive Technique
Emotional (Pathos): an appeal to emotion.
Emotional advertising will attempt to evoke an emotional response in the consumer. Sometimes, it is a positive emotion such as happiness: an image of people enjoying themselves while drinking Pepsi. Other times, advertisers will use negative emotions such as pain: a person having back problems after buying the “wrong” mattress. It can also include emotions such as fear and guilt: images of a starving child persuade you to send money.
A child is shown covered in bug bites after using an inferior bug spray.

A commercial shows an image of a happy couple riding in a Corvette.
