Mascara Commercials Falsely Advertising?

Why do the show models on mascara commercials wearing false eyelashes? Shouldn't it be false advertising since they're insinuating that if we use their mascara our eyelashes will look like that? Gah that's been bugging me! lol

Mascara Commercials Falsely Advertising?
I fully agree agree on that one!! I continuously see this foundation (and makeup)-packed, puckered-up model with the 2-hour worked-on perfect hair swivel around in the light that makes her look her best and then... false eyelashes galore!! Big, curly black things... I mean, do they really believe that WE'RE going believe that? Maybe some naive 12 year old kid, but geez... I feel truly offended! And profoundly annoyed.....
Reply:Remember it's just advertising.


What about all the fashion models advertising clothes, I don't look anything like them wearing similar clothes!
Reply:i some how agree but the do seem false but i dont think they are.


I know some people even me who could get those same results, just it takes time
Reply:Actually, most of the time they don't even use false lashes, but they spend hours tediously coating every single eyelash and separating them and making them look as long as possible so that they appear fake, but in reality they are not, but still no woman on earth would ever spend that long on their lashes so the only way they could look like that would be with falsies.


I'm sure they use models that have ridiculously long lashes to begin with, as well!
Reply:Perhaps they're not wearing false eyelashes. Did you tug on them and find them to be false?





:-)~
Reply:argeein with ya x
Reply:yeah..u r right!!
Reply:mine always look like the tv ads when i put it on!! it all depends on your eyelashes to start with!! mine are long and thick so I dont have any problems!! but if you have small short lashes - there is no way they will look full and long!!
Reply:Don't they still make Mascara out of Guano?


Who wants that in their eyes anyways.


I don't know if what they re doing in their ads constitutes false advertising.
Reply:Yes, advertisment helps them promote sales. All they really want is profit from customers who are willing to believe that yes you can make your eyelashes 300% longer and thicker with their mascara. LOL
Reply:No. Since we all know they are wearing falsies, and we see what the mascara does to falsies, what they are selling is what the mascara does to falsies. Now, if you couldn't get the same results with falsies and the mascara that would be false advertising.
Reply:Yeah,I noticed that too and it is false advertisment.
Reply:They want money the way doesn't matter

Homework help on Advertising campaign/slogan/bumper sticker?!?

I need homework help. I am supposed to come up with an advertising campaign for the basis of Roman society. So that is basically violence and Christianity. I also need to come up with a slogan and a bumper sticker for this campaign. I DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!!

Homework help on Advertising campaign/slogan/bumper sticker?!?
I would argue that the basis of roman society was the system that brought clean water to the city, that kept it from becoming a cesspool of death and disease. Pieces of the original system of aquaducts around Rome are still function.

Can you go from graphic design/advertising to the business side of it?

I am a junior/senior majoring in graphic design/ advertising. I have found that I am not much interested in the handson computer designing aspect. I am interested in the big picture, coming up with the concept not actually making it. If I minor in marketing do you think I could get a job in advertising/marketing on the business side rather than the art side? Thanks to people with experience or knowledge

Can you go from graphic design/advertising to the business side of it?
Worked in marketing/finance/HR since 2002.





The only thing you truly need is a degree. Any degree.





A basic knowledge of accounting/marketing is helpful if you want to get on the business end. So take accounting 101, intro to macro, and intro to micro at least would help.





Finance/econ/management majors + MBAs do get their foot in the door easier on the business end, but they aren't the only ones.





As long as you have a degree you can get into any job really. You could graduate as an Asian Studies major and have gotten an entry level job with me as long as you had some specific knowledge of the business or how a business runs in general or have specific computer skills or just the fact that we were hiring and you interviewed well.





I'd suggest checking your school's resources for an internship for at least in-between semesters or summer to see what you might need to do in the specific field you want to be in. If that's not possible, just get your degree and pound the pavement from there. And if you aren't qualified to get the job you want, go back to school and get qualified.





But for the most part, I've found any degree can get your foot in the door, at least entry level. What you do after that is your problem.
Reply:Well, why not ask someone already in advertising/marketing on the business side !
Reply:uhh, i dunno but just for quiriosity, what software do u use for graphiuc design. Adobe illustrator?
Reply:You can, although you may find you really need an MBA. I would recommend against majoring or minoring in marketing or advertising (your graphic design program is good just concentrate on the art part); you'll learn all they would teach in the first six months on the job. You do need some marketing, economics and math in preparation for B-school. Be sure to be making presentations in your classes, or take a speech class. A marketing career without an MBA is not promising. However, an MBA combined with a art background would be very interesting to ad agencies.
Reply:Definitely minor in Advertising or Communications. It will certainly help you! Also, if your school requires internships (or even if not) try to focus on either of those. It would be very beneficial for you to understand the design part of the process so you'll be very attractive to employers...good luck!





FYI to one of your posters...I took plenty of marketing/advertising classes in order to get a BFA in Graphic Design. We know about the "big picture."
Reply:Yes, absolutely. I went from selling advertising, to writing copy and coming up with ideas for promos to now starting my own marketing firm.
Reply:YES! Unfortunately, creative designer types are usually horrible at looking at the "big picture". If you have skills in both, you can be very successful, just make sure to take enough classes to support the business aspect of marketing also. Marketing, communications, econ etc.


A model for advertising response is given by:where P (a) is the profit expressed as a function of the amount

P(a)=200-2a+10 ln a


optimal amount of advertising, a =


maximum profit, P =

A model for advertising response is given by:where P (a) is the profit expressed as a function of the amount
P(a) = 200 -2a + 10ln(a)





maximum profit is when dP/da = 0





dP/da = -2 + 10/a





so -2 + 10/a = 0





10/a = 2





2a = 10





a = 5





calculate P when a = 5





P(5) = 200 - 2(5) + 10ln(5)





=%26gt;200-10 + 10(1.609)





P(a) = 206.09





so optimal amount of advertising a = 5 and





Maximum profit, P = 206

How does internet advertising work? pay for clicks?

what is the difference between google and yahoo advertising products? is there another option?

How does internet advertising work? pay for clicks?
We used to spend a lot at Overture (which is now Yahoo) but we get much more bang for the buck at Google. Sign up at Google and pay per click, depending on the keywords you want...it should pay off. Overture/Yahoo is much more expensive because their minimum bid is 10 cents. At Google, that keyword you want may only be 5 cents. There are lots of other pay-per-click advertising sites available, but you only need to stick to Yahoo and/or Google. Those are the two that will really convert.
Reply:check out http://www.merchantcircle.com





They're not a Pay per Click advertiser but they do help small businesses by providing ways to advertise and build community involvement through referrals and endorsements.





I hope this helps.
Reply:Pay only if your ad gets click.then you will be ask your maximum bid per click is and then will charge you only the minimum that is necessary.
Reply:I don't think its by clicks! Advertising is just as it is. A company is posted on the yahoo/google what have you pages. Someone will see their advertisement and respond to it however they want. It's like an ad on a billboard on a highway its just there. Exposure you see it and that's all that counts. Some companies pay more so when you search for something their homepage shows up first!

What constitutes Soliciting/Advertising?

I had an answer removed. Someone asked for a good free work at home. I responded and YA took my answer off and sent me a violation notice. Since the person asked...my answer can't possibly be considered soliciting or advertising can it?

What constitutes Soliciting/Advertising?
Well, yes, obviously it could be. That is why they deleted it. You could tell the person HOW to find a site like that, or possibly post SEVERAL of those types of site, but just posting one like that, with no disclaimer, reads like advertising.


Sue company false advertising?

i used to work for a company that was an SEO (search engine optimization) the company had all of us telemarketers call random businesses all over the USA telling them if they signed up for our service we would be able to put them in the showcase position on yahoo and google. (((showcase means when you search on yahoo or google and your looking for a business... lets say a pet groomer...you would type in "pet groomer" and the first 3 listings you see are the showcase positions))) now what they really did was barely put them in the yahoo and google database where maybe if you went to page 4 or 5 you would see them....crazy huh? ya well i was wondering how i could get them in trouble to stop them from lying! could i sue them for false advertising? what is your opinion?

Sue company false advertising?
IF and a big IF you could get all of the old clients together to file a class action suit then they may be able to collect damages, but you would collect nothing seeing as how you were not harmed by t his in any way. So you would put a lot of time and effort in to just get to revenge on them, keep in mind though that it may be awkward for you to talk to the clients considering you were one of the ones that called around and ask them to sign up. I would just let it go. It's wrong that they did it, but trying to punish them will just make you miserable. You should however report them, so that they can not continue this practice. You can got to the Chamber of Commerce or the Better Business Bureau to see if there is anything they can do to shut them down. Good Luck.
Reply:No, you cannot personally sue them because you have not suffered any injury from their practices. However, you CAN file a complaint with your local Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau.
Reply:You could report them to the attorney general. That's really about all you have, however a class action suit sounds in order for your previous clientele.
Reply:You can only sue someone if you are the injured party.
Reply:Not if you were, how shall i put this, unceremoniously discharged. Fired employees cannot sue their employee on the grounds of false advertising as the courts consider it a "vengeful allegation."

What is the advertising elasticity of demand for good x?

Suppose demand is given by


Q xd = 50 - 4Px + 6Py + Ax ,


where Px = $4,


Py = $2, and


Ax = $50.








What is the advertising elasticity of demand for good x?


a) 1.12.


b) 0.38.


c) 1.92.


d) 0.52.

What is the advertising elasticity of demand for good x?
d) .52





Elasticity of demand, put simply, is how we react to changes in prices. Typically, if the product is needed, then the demand is inelastic, and we are not affected by price changes. Other times we have more sensitivity to changes in prices and demand is more elastic.





You can measure demand elasticity by dividing the change of demand by the change in price, or delta Qxd/delta Ax. In this example, just solve for Qxd with Ax of $50 and again for, say, $100.


Note: (1) and (2) are usually written as subscripts.





Axd(1)=50


Axd(2)=100


Qxd(1)=50-4(4)+6(2)+50=96


Qxd(2)=50-4(4)+6(2)+100=146





delta Qxd=(Qxd(1)-Qxd(2))/Qxd(1)


delta Ax=(Ax(1)-Ax(2))/Ax(1)





delta Qxd/delta Ax





(96-146)/96


--------------- = .0520833


(50-100)/50

Job interview for advertising company?

i have applied for an internship with a well known advertising agency in my city. they say the interview will take the form of a presentation. can anyone offer any ideas on what to do or how this works? i know they are also going to ask me about my reasons for being in this field and will ask about my favourite ads as they have informed me about this. should i come up with an ad campaign selling myself to them, and if so, can anyone help in terms of how i could go about doing this and make it fun/exciting/interesting? thank you so much, your input will be highly valued and i will thank all of you if i get this internship!

Job interview for advertising company?
dude, if you can not come up with that stuff on your own then you have no business working at an ad agency. The entire point of them asking you to interview in this way is to see how creative you are. You can not apply to a creative position and then try to get other people to be creative for you.

Reply:Advertising is designed to appeal to peoples emotions and feelings. One shouldn't expect ads to convey much in the way of facts. This is especially true of political ads. They get you to buy things or support causes by appealing to your irrational and emotional side, and most of the time with most people, it works.

Freelance webdesign service advertising?

I'm a freelance web designer looking for some ways of advertising my services. I don't have my own website, so usually I show people the projects I've done recently. And I'm looking something like craigslist's free ads or any effective ways to attract people's attention.





Could you give me a piece of advice or some links?

Freelance webdesign service advertising?
I own a graphic design firm, and regularly use freelance folks. I cannot imagine hiring a freelance web designer who did not have at least some sort of minimal web site.





I've also hired off Craig's list. It's a cheap place to advertise, but you get tons and tons of responses that you have to blast through at high speed just to get through them all. A web site (or at least a link to a portfolio oriented web service) is essential.





Sorry, but when you tell me you're a web guy with no web site... that just sounds to me like you're not yet serious about what you're doing.

A piecemeal web site that has no viewer participation or says too much is of no use to anyone.


Great web sites are the ones that entice the viewer to want to know more through a series of "closes" leading to BUSINESS.





All up web sites that give everything rarely work.





I other thing if I may add. Always welcome the viewer to the site.





Now the fact that you design but haven't managed to attract anyone to your sight, suggests that you are doing something wrong.
