The Hidden World of Marketing

Alessandra Federici from Italy

Nothing in marketing is left to chance! Very tight roles and policies drive everything in marketing. A 30-second TV commercial may require several months to be designed and produced.

Together with the images, a lot of hidden messages are sent to those people watching the commercial. In this way, a very simple product may become the key to heaven! If you buy it, you will get the entire wonderful world that appears in its advertisement's framework.

At your grocery store, special attention is given to how to show products on the stands. If you want to promote a new product, you have to put it at eye level, so customers will notice it immediately!

Particular care is also put on showing different items on the same stand. If you want to increase the sales of an unknown new product, you should put it close to a well-known and often requested product.

These are only a few tricks used by marketing wizards to sell us a lot of things we don't really need!
