Zumba Ad
Persuasive Speech – Zumba

Are you stuck on the roundabout of fitness? Hit a pothole? Stuck in a traffic jam? The target market for our ad is and they’re desperate to get on the road to fitness again. Our ad is going to get them there.

After extensive market research, via specific focus groups, we believe our ad is most appropriate for men and women in their early thirties to late forties. All have the same goal-to keep fit and lose weight in a relatively easy, non- expensive approach. We tested the ad on a focus group and each responded positively to the ad, indicating they would be ready to spend around $100 on a product like Zumba. They enjoyed the ad because it showed them a new fitness method that was easy to use and a lot cheaper than other ways of keeping for fit, for example; a gym membership. We have chosen to advertise in “Women’s Weekly Magazine”, “Marie Claire”, “Weight Watchers” magazines and various men’s fitness magazines. Our research illustrates that our target market are most absorbed in these magazines. It is proven that 75% of the ads advertised in these magazines are successful in appealing to the demographic audience.

Circulation of this ad will be occur in summer time when during the party and beach season, so consumers are enticed to purchase the product so they can acquire the picture-perfect beach body throughout summer.

In our ad layout it displays a half body image of a women’s tanned and toned stomach and her breasts in a sports bra. The body copy is placed at the bottom of the ad so once the readers are finished looking at the top part of the ad which gains their attention, they will then read the body copy. The Zumba symbol is then placed at the top right hand corner so when turning the page the reader will remember the ad/product. The small pictures of the different types of Zumba workouts are placed to the right of the body copy so the audience can see the numerous types of Zumba before reading the persuasive body copy.

    The layout also is represented as entertainment to ones eye, daring you to find out the product that is being sold. Your eyes are automatically are drawn to the women that appears directly in the center of the ad wearing a white bikini, and apparently is bending over backwards in an unnatural method. “At a moment like THIS I don’t care if my tampons came in a little black box. I just want ‘em to work.” This is a quote that is located right above the blonde, exaggerating at the game of limbo. From the quote above, the word “this” is what catches your attention first because it is capitalized and in a different font, which made me re-read the statement. As the glow of the sun distracts me to all the brunettes that surround the center of attention I then notice the beach. The product being sold is the last thing I became aware of. The layout makes one want to buy the product merely because it doesn’t remind you of being on their period, it does a good job of distracting ones thoughts from the seven days, making you think that that’s how their tampons work as well.…

    In general when a person looks at something they scan left to right, top to bottom, or at least primarily in English speaking areas, as that is how we read. With this being so, the first things our eyes sees is (what appears to be) a young woman’s bare legs, slightly separated from knee down, and her underwear around her ankles. She is placed in a vulnerable looking position on a bathroom floor to express the terrible act that just happen. This image is large and takes up most of the ad’s space. The designer of this clearly wants the image to be seen as important and a driving point in the PSA. However, what appears to be the most important are the words that are farther right on the ad, but cover part of the girl’s legs. The texts message about how the girl didn’t want this, but couldn’t say no is what appears to be the most important message of the entire ad. The block of text on the bottom is supporting text and considered less important on the ad so it therefore on the bottom. It seems chronologically correct to be in this format with the website on the bottom since we read top to bottom. This was effective in…

    In the inaugural post for this blog, I want to start by covering the simple philosophy I have followed my entire life. If you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Although this theory applies to everything we might encounter throughout life, it is my belief that it is particularly relevant in the fitness world. Whatever your mind set has been in the past, abandon it for the notion that you can do whatever you are willing to work for.…
