With a name like Smuckers....it has to be good. I think this advertisement would have a little kid in it eating a jelly sandwich. The kid would have a big smile on his face.

One bad advertisement I’ve seen is the burger king commercial where mothers gather in a car and start chasing the “king”. Their saying that Burger King food is so good that mothers start chasing the king because his food is so good. This is not an advertisement you want your children to see. The message in this ad is that its ok to run down someone in your car because your jealous of their cooking skills, as long as your friends are in agreement.

In this advertisement, the target audience to me, is famous women, also people who like Beyonce and want to smell like her.I also feel that this advertisement is directed toward femalesof black ethnicity. As well as, women who have a lot of money. Beyonce is in the background singing. The bottle looks really expensive like diamonds would look. I feel that the purpose of this advertisement is to get people to buy this perfume because it will make them feel good and make women think that this perfume is like wearing diamonds. This perfume has a very strong smell to it. It kind of reminds of someone older wearing it and not Beyonce. I think this advertisement is an effective ad.
