According to Allan (2006), marketeers and “advertisers” use variable approaches and techniques in order to fully engage, involve and immensely persuade the “potential” consumers to buy their product or service (p. 434). It is noticeable that these techniques have greatly evolved and remarkably developed through the past decades (Hemmings, n.d.). This gradual enhancement in advertising techniques is precisely concentrated in the background features of advertisements, such as “attractive” colours and pleasing music (Gorn, 1982, p. 94).

Advertisers use popular music and songs in various ways, in order to engage and completely persuade consumers with their product or service.

Some people considered this process of selecting suitable …show more content…
