How do images influence our actions?
that
Images communicate meanings can’t always be expressed as quickly in words. That’s why
images are so important in advertising. We see ads everywhere, and they affect us in ways
in we don't realize. For example, we might see an ad for a candy bar before a movie is shown
at the local theater. Maybe a few days later, we're in the supermarket and we buy the same
candy bar, that we didn’t plan to buy. When we put it into the shopping cart, we probably
aren't thinking about the candy we saw it in the movie.
Some people think they’re not influenced by advertising because they don't buy products
from ads whom they see. They don’t realize that ads don’t usually lead us to act immediately.
This is the way ads work, though—they give us ideas that we act on them later.
Consider this photo of someone selling flowers and other products in Thailand, floating
markets are common. What kinds of thoughts do you associate with the image? Do you think
this is a better advertising image for a travel company or for a company that sells products
made in Thailand?
