Placebo Effects of Marketing
• Placebo effect (explain)• If you charge more for something, people may find it more
satisfying (one of the four P’s is price…)• Subjects who consumed Energy Drink that was “on sale”
performed worse on a memory test than those who paid full price (Shiv, et. al. 2005)

Advertising Effects• What do advertisers see as
advertising’s desired effect?• What are the effects of advertising
on society at large?• Difficult to assess what effect it has
on us.• Does it work? If it didn’t , why would
companies spend so much on it?.

False Hopes/Anxieties
• John Berger (1972)• “The purpose of publicity is to make the spectator marginally
dissatisfied with his present way of life. It suggests that if he buys what it is offering, his life will become better.
• All publicity works upon anxiety. The sum of everything is money, and to get money is to overcome anxiety.”
![Page 9: Week 15 Lecture 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568168dd550346895ddfd37d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unrealistic and dangerous role models
• “Heroin chic” debate• 2000 (Jones and Smith)
British Medical Journal argued that representations of women had a deleterious effect on young women
• Kate Moss doubled her earnings as a model after the 2005 coke scandal.

Devaluation of Real Ideas• This is what Naomi Klein argues in
“No Logo” • That when everything is turned into a
“sellable idea”, it devalues real ideas http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/no-logo-brands-globalization-resistance/

Ethics• When is it “right” to shock people?
![Page 13: Week 15 Lecture 2](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568168dd550346895ddfd37d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Barnardos • Children’s charity• Many newspapers
refused to share the ad and filed a complaint.

• When Life magazine makes a cover about war, it makes the cover to inform, but also to sell the magazine and to sell the advertising pages inside the magazine -- Chivas Regal and all the others. So Time magazine and all the others make a cover to inform and to sell. To do what I do, I do that to sell but also to inform. And as soon as you inform, people point a finger at you and say, "You are exploiting!" No. It's the people who don't even inform [who are exploiting]. It's Prada bullshit, or Gap bullshit, or Chanel. They don't even inform. They make people stupid.

Example – Water Bill• A radio ad, for Thames Water Utilities, broadcast on 11
February stated "Thames Water is tracking down people in London and the Thames Valley who are getting our water, but not our bill. This isn't fair on our paying customers. So, for six weeks, there'll be an amnesty. If you haven't been receiving a bill, tell us and we'll waive the charges and start afresh. But if you don't and are found after the amnesty, you could face years of back charges ..."
• • Two listeners challenged whether the ad was
misleading, because they tried to take advantage of the amnesty but received bills for backdated water charges.
