CHAPTER I. THE ADVERTISING INDUSTRY

1. General information on advertising as industry

Advertising industry are regarded as creative industry also called creative industry. Products

bare mainly advertising idea, or new marketing solutions, media... Everyday, hundreds of new

ideas in advertising, newspaper, magazines, television supply for thousands of business.

Advertising is an integral part of communication. In wordwide, the advertising has become a

powerful industry with hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue each year.

Advertising was appeared by the old Egyptians. Egyptians used papyrus to make sales

messages and wall posters. Commercial messages and political campaign have been found in the

ruinsof Pompeii and ancient Arabia. Wall of rock painting for commercial advertising is another

sign of an ancient advertising form, which is present in many parts of Asia, Africa and South

America. The tradition of wall painting can be traced back to Indian rock art paintings that date

back to 4000 BCE.

In the 1700s the UK hasd a lot of progress in advertising. Brochure and business cards were

popular. A wide range of goods being advertised. In the 18th century advertising can be found in

the British colonies in America-a fact that, centuries later, to achieve a greater degree of

sophistication and popularity of the new nation. Advertising in the colonies, however, initially had

little impact. Since America is mostly wild and farm country, many live in comparative isolation.

In addition, the ad appeared in newspapers often illegible and poorly written. The changes in the

marketing system of the United States in 1880 implementation of modern advertising model as

possible. Previously, the market was dominated by wholesalers purchase large batches and sell

more profitable shipments. However, in the 1880s, the production of goods began packing

packaging, branding and product distribution nationwide. This change has introduced an

advertising needs on a national level. The advertisers provide the agency with a new set of

customers with higher standards than those who only sell to local markets. For example,

manufacturers of packaged goods want their ads to create a bond of trust with the consumer, so

they need to advertise more realistic.

During the 19th century the most widely advertised drugs are patented. Even as late as 1893,

more than half of all advertisers spent more than $ 50,000 per year to advertise the drug makers

patent. In the 1890s advertising industry has grown significantly. By 1897 more than 2,500

companies have been conducting a campaign of large-scale advertising. This expansion is a result

of the increased use of brand names and trademarks and are developing distribution report.

Copywriters also contributed to the growth. 1892 N.W. Ayer & Son in Philadelphia agency

copywriter hired its first to create an ad. Previously it simply purchasing advertising space from

newspapers, magazines, and sell it to advertisers. Now the agency can provide both art and copy

for their customers.

1900, the main agency J. Walter Thompson covers, NW Ayer & Son, and Lord & Thomas.

In the nineteenth century J. Walter Thompson convinced a number of literary journals to carry

advertising, and in 1900 his agency has created advertising for thirty most popular women's and

general interest in the monthly. J. Walter Thompson can be credited with transforming the

magazine into an advertising medium.

In the 1920s, the advent of radio advertising in the United States have an incentive to carry it

through the Great Depression (1929-1939) and World War II (1939-1945). When radio was firstintroduced, many people feel that radio advertising should be banned. This view is supported by

the then Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover (1874-1964). However, by the end of this

decade, the state began advertising the advantages of using radio as an advertising medium by

injecting elements such as drama and fast on the ad.

With the formation of the NBC and CBS radio network in 1926 and 1927, respectively,

radio has become an important medium for advertisers. The advertising agency creates radio

programs at night as a way to convey the message of their clients. They also produce radio dramas

daytime became famous as "play" (the term was first applied to the drama is created for consumer

products giant Proctor & Gamble ).

After World War II, American advertising industry has begun to spread throughout the

world. At the time of economic recession and industry analysts began to question the effectiveness

of traditional advertising to sell products and services. They offer some explanation: consumers

have become less pummel receive the advertising message, and they have greater price conscious

and less brand loyal.

At the turn of the 20th century, there were few career choices for women business. However,

advertising was one of the few.And now advertising with the progress of media has become a

creative industry bringing significant income in the world economy.

CHAPTER III. THE ADVERTISMENT

1. The actual advertisement

We have a poster with the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star.

2. How the advertisement was created

This is the first time we created an advertisement, so we met many strange and difficult

things. All of us had ideas, but we did not know how to present clearly our ideas as an

advertisement. However, we understand that a poster to advertise the product is really important,

because it is one of the customer approaches that we must have.

First, we met a trouble with choosing product. We have three members and it is hard to

reach consensus because each of us has our own preferences. A person wanted to choose wine because she loved it, but the other did not. Ones wanted to choose perfume but it seemed hard for

us to look for information. Finally, we decided to choose shoe, because it is really close with us

and may be it is easy to understand the information about shoe. We were known that Converse

shoes are very popular in the market, many young people use it as a way to show their

characteristics, it seems as Converse is youth. And in the range of Converse shoes, we saw that

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Chuck was a shoes that make a name for Converse. So that is

why we chose Converse Chuck Taylor All Star as a product for this assignment.Then, we all searched information about Converse and Chuck to understand more about

the company, the target customer, especially the features of the product that can help us make an

advertisement to attract people. M aybe in the past, the target customer of Chuck was only the

basketball players, but now, it seems as focus on all type of people, especially the young people

who always want to assert themselves. So, we chose the youth as a target customer of our product

Chuck and created an advertisement to attract most of them. We chose You know who you

are as a slogan for Chuck , because we understand that young people always want to assertthemselves. But before they can assert, they must know who they are and Converse Chuck Taylor

All Star can help them do this thing.

Next, we decided to make a poster for Chuck , because it is easier for us than making a clip

and of course, this form of advertising is cheaper. It seems as poster suitable with the target

customer than any others. But we just knew a little bit about design software photoshop, so

maybe this poster is not perfect now. In the process of making poster, we had to choose images

that can express our ideas. It was quite hard because it had so many images in the internet but no


18/26

16

one could express what we wanted to transmit exactly. So that is why we had to choose many

different small images to graft a completely new posters.

After the discussion session and persistent editing, finally, we gave the advertisement for

Chuck . It is a poster with a logo of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in the upper center, thename of Converse brand and the slogan are immediately below. On the right side of poster, we

have a girl wearing Converse Chuck Taylor All Star as a representative of the youth these people

are always energetic and youthful. Because a red color is really impression, so that is the reason

we chose a red shoes for the left side of the poster. After all, a poster was completed with a

background that can portray the true nature of converse shoes in general and the Converse Chuck

Taylor All Star in particular: From the court, to the field, to the street , wherever you go,

Converse always be your companion, making yourself.3. The Techniques and Strategies used in the advertisement

Techniques

Our advertising focus on two major techniques: associate positive qualities with a product

and manipulate people's emotions. For an advertising to be effective there must be a reasonable

use of the technologies.

For technique Associate positive qualities with a product , we using a slogan You knowwho you are in advertising of Converse. That means if someone wearing Converse, they will be

more confident, more comfortable and especially they can show themselves, they can do whatever

they want such as jumping, running, walking, Everything will be fine.

And with technology Manipulate peoples emotions is using image effects on emotions of

our customers, we use image the girl wearing Converse shoe, she looks beautiful, happy, and

confident. Next to her is image of our product Converse Chuck Taylor , this image express that

she can be happy and confident it depend on she wearing our product. Color combination betweenclothing and shoes highlights the beauty of the product

Both of two technologies are closely related to each other. The image show clear and more

specific of our slogan.

Strategies

Our strategies are mainly use: image, color, eye contact. We use mainly red color with soil

color background; they highlight in red and make our customers focus on our product. The model

1. How did Converse become popular? A brief history of the iconic sneaker

If you have even a vague interest in dressing yourself, chances are youve had at least one

pair of Converse Chuck Taylors in your life. After all, the shoes suits all styles: Despite their

obvious differences in appearance and taste, celebrities like Wiz Khalifa, Mila Kunis, Blake

Lively, and Kurt Cobain are all fans o f the quintessential sneaker. But how did Converse become

the fashion icon they are today? All Stars are actually a century old, and have an extensive history

to match.

Origins

The original Converse company was set up in Malden, Massachusetts in 1908 by MarquisMills Converse, who called his new venture the Converse Rubber Shoe company. The companys

first several years were profitable enough to keep the brand running, but it was the transition to

producing basketball sneakers in 1917 that really shifted Converse from a simple rubber shoes to

the cultural icon it is today. The kicks were given the name Converse All Stars as a nod to their

athletic design.

When basketball Hall of Fame alum Chuck Taylor lent hi s name and signature to the

trainers in 1921, they became the basketball shoe. Basketballs inclusion in the 1936Olympics only meant more publicity for the now-popular Converse All Stars, made all the more

compelling by Americans win against Canada.

1950s: Chucks Rebel

Chucks made the leap from athletic wear to alt fashion in the 1950s, when the classic black

and white version became part of the youth rocker uniform. Rebel without a cause James Dean

cemented their iconoclastic status when he appeared in several photographs wearing his JackPurcell Converse kicks.

Though historically associated with athleticism, Chucks began moving out of the realm of

sports and into the realm of chillin. In the succinct words of Ice Cube: Its crazy to think that them basketball cats played in Chuck Taylors. I got Chucks in my

suitcase right now, but that shit gives you flat feet.

1970s: The one star

The shoes went through a series of design and marketing incarnations through the following

years, but in the 1970s, Converse introduced the One Star, a precursor to the classic design we

know today. The One Star featured a streamlined suede design with a star accent on the side, andquickly became the brands other bestseller.

The Ramones were famously reputed to favor the sneakers for work and play, but in reality,

the band initially wore PRO-Keds and later transitioned to Chucks. Drummer Tommy Ramone

stated that though he favored the shoe, he was unclear on who Chuck Taylor actually was:

He was maybe a basketba ll coach or something. I dont know. He made cheap shoes.

1980s and 90s: Grunge explosion

The 1980s became yet another crucial decade for Converse, starting in 1984 when the

company was named an official sponsor of the Los Angeles Olympics . Despite Ice Cubes

assertion that the shoes werent ergonomic, the U.S. walked away with a gold medal in basketball

wearing the shoes.

But when we think of Chucks, its not their ba sketball legacy that springs to mind its the

counterculture icons who wore them in the 1980s and 1990s. Chucks became the shoes of choice

for rockers and rebels in the mid- 80s, spurred on by unofficial endorsement by bands from Guns

N Roses to Pearl Jams Eddie Vedder.

Grunge stars Kurt Cobain and Winona Ryder rocked All Stars into the 90s the dirtier,

the better. The look was later borrowed by Green Day and the All American Rejects, cementing

the shoes as a mass market staple. By the end of 1997, the company reported it had produced 550

million pairs over the course of just a single year.

But by 2001, rumors that the company was actually financially failing prompted a mass

hysteria and public display of devotion to Converse. The companys financial woes were no mere

gossip, and in 2003 Nike purchased the floundering Converse company. Though die-hard

Converse fans may have scoffed at the companys decision to sell out to a more mainstream

corporation, the settlement ultimately salvaged the company and resulted in countless innovative

reincarnations of the famous shoes in the decade since.Today

These days, Converse seems to be in fine shape. In September 2013, Bloomberg

Businessweek reported that sales of the vintage Converse brand increased 16 percent, to $494

million, in the recent quarter, while earnings before interest and taxes jumped 36 percent, putting

Chucks before Nikes own innovations in terms of prof itability. Converse has hopped aboard the

designer collaboration train in a big way, and this year alone, we can look forward to a Black

Sabbath x Nike collaboration, as well as a Simpsons-themed collection.

If we had to guess, wed wager Chucks will never go out of style.
