Persuasive Advertising Theories

There are two factors that must be considered in Advertising:

1) The audience.
Your audience can include personalities as different as Mr. Ni Ching, a mechanical engineer in Zuhai, China and Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team.

Mr. Ni Ching skeptically scrutinizes even the smallest purchase. On the other end of the spectrum, Mr. Cuban sat down one evening and ordered a multi-million dollar business jet with a couple of clicks on the Internet.

But most people are, well, like most other people. And one way to understand how most people approach purchase decisions is with a tool called CIT:

> Consumer involvement theory

2) The communication.
That's the stuff you create.

And when the time comes to put pencil to paper, fingers to keyboard - to actually create your campaign or ad - it can be helpful to consider, "OK, what's the primary reaction I want from the target audience?"

You won't need to do this with every ad. But for new clients, new campaigns, or new ways of thinking, it can be clever to go back to basics.

What you will discover is that there are three primary responses your ads can trigger. Three basic things an advertising campaign can get people to do:

> To feel, to experience an emotion R

> To think, to understand, perhaps remember R

> Take action, do something R

Generally speaking,

- Getting people to think and feel certain things about a company, its products and services, that's the goal of branding, of brand-building.

The ultimate objective, of course, is to influence purchase behavior. But to do so by first getting viewers to like the product or understand the service or feel a relationship with the company.

- Getting people to do something, and do it soon - to clip and mail a coupon, click on a Web site, pick up the phone and place an order - that's what direct marketing and direct response advertising are about.

In real life, of course, it's not that simple. When someone sees an ad, they can react in a variety of ways, most commonly with indifference.

And if they do respond at all, then thinking, feeling, and acting can blend together in different ways with different people. The human mind is infinitely complex.

But this is not a course in social psychology.

Simply put, marketing communications focus on three primary reactions. So it can help to understand how you can make people think, feel and act.

Creative tips: Truth Be Told: There is no scientific evidence supporting "subliminal persuasion," the notion that stimuli below the threshold of conscious awareness can influence behavior.

And when you look at the spectrum of forces that do influence purchase behavior - from genetics to parents and peers - you'll find advertising way down at the weak end of that spectrum.

Equivalence in Translation

Equivalence is the important thing that must be achieved in translation process, a translation product can be said successfully if the readers or listeners of that translation product do not know that they are reading or listening of translation product that means responds of the readers or listeners when they read and listen the source text is same when they read or listen the translation product. Equivalence can be said to be the central issue in translation. The thing that is found out of translator is the equivalence meaning from source language (SL) to target language (TL). The concept of equivalence nevertheless broadened out when the American Bible theorist and translator Eugene Nida (1964) recognized the polarities ‘dynamic equivalence’ (same function) and ‘formal equivalence’ (same form, probably with a different function). There were thus different kinds of equivalence that could be established, independently of whatever was considered ‘natural’ before the translator ente

EXAMPLES OF TRANSLATION PRINCIPLES

Based on Allan Duff, the principles of translation must be following these: 1.       Meaning:  the translation should reflect the meaning accurately. For example: I'd never given much thought to how I would die — though I'd had reason enough in the last few months— but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. Aku tidak pernah terlalu memikirkan bagaimana aku akan mati, meskipun aku punya cukup alasan  beberapa bulan terakhir ini, tapi kalaupun memiliki alasan, aku tak pernah membayangkan akan seperti ini. (Source: Twilight and its translation) I stared without breathing across the long room, into the dark eyes of the hunter, and he looked pleasantly back at me. Aku menatap ruangan panjang itu tanpa bernafas, ke dalam mata gelap sang pemburu, dan ia balas menatapku senang. 2.       Form: The words order should match the original as closely as possible. Example: She hugged me tightly for a minute, and then I got on the plane, and she was go
