Black Friday Advertisements


This past fall break was Thanksgiving break. As you all know, the day after thanksgiving is called Black Friday. Black Friday is a day when the sales at department and retail stores are supposed to be amazing. People are supposed to be able to find amazing prices for amazing items. It was interesting to see how each store appealed to different crowds. The paper ads for Toys ‘R Us were very colorful and even included stickers for kids to tell their parents what toys they want for Christmas. Electronic stores, on the other hand exemplified the prices of their items as well as the brand names. When purchasing electronics, the brand name is something that is very important to consider. Clothing stores printed their ads bigger than the normal ones. They were able to fold out so that you could see what sweaters and purses and shoes you wanted to buy. They wanted to make sure that they had attractive models to lure you in. advertising is an interesting topic that has always intrigued me. I like the way that something looks can affect the way a person thinks about it. It’s all about the presentation.
