promote your school to future students …

Logos

business or product will use
that is easily recognisable …
Do you recognise these?
Another Persuasive Technique ….
Needs, fears and aspirations
Advertisers play on our insecurities and needs. (Think of all the insurance
adverts, cosmetic adverts)
They know that people want to:
• feel safe
• Feel that they belong or are accepted by others
• Be part of a relationship, good looking and popular
• Secure in old age.
• Be good parents ….
• Advertisers use LOTS of GUILT on parents “give your child the best
possible start in life …. (otherwise you are a REALLY BAD PARENT!!!)
=> Advertisers try to persuade consumers that they can buy a better life.
How could you use “Guilt” in your
advertisement for Drummond?
You will need to convince parents that Drummond IS THE
BEST POSSIBLE EDUCATIONAL CHOICE FOR THEIR CHILD ….
How will you do that?
• Show that DCHS is safe, small, caring and successful.
(photos of happy, smiling students!)
• Show colourful photos of the school and students
• List School Achievements and Awards
• Get Quotes from past and present students
• Convince people that this is the right school for
their child
Repetition:
The name of a product is repeated many times
HEAD ON Apply
directly to the
forehead
HEAD ON Apply
directly to the
forehead
HEAD ON Apply
directly to the
forehead
How could we use Repetition?
Repeat the word “Drummond” to remind people of the school’s name.
e.g.
At Drummond, we care for your child ..
At Drummond, we strive for success ..
At Drummond, we look to the future.
Repeat strong emotional words such as “success”, “achievement”,
“happiness”
e.g. Drummond is the school for today, the school for tomorrow and
the school for the future.
Succeed in class, succeed in life, succeed at Drummond!
Three Part Lists
Use “Three part Lists” to explain why
Drummond is a such a good school
e.g.
Drummond is small, caring and strong!
Our teachers are talented, helpful and kind.
Our Cafeteria is clean, bright and spacious
Bandwagon
A statement suggesting that everyone is using
a specific product, so you should too
How could we use Bandwagon?
Who are our feeder schools?
Do most of them come to this school?
 Use this information to show that “EVERYONE
comes to Drummond … you should too!”
 (Otherwise, you’ll feel left out and odd!)
“Come on and join us …. At Drummond Community
High School”
Testimonial

service

Drummond Community
High School next year!

Teachers

Rhetorical Questions
Rhetorical questions are questions put to people
... where you do not really want an answer, because the
answer is OBVIOUS!!
… you also want the people to THINK about your
question.
e.g. Do you want fresh breath?
Does your child deserve the best opportunities?
Are small classes and skilled teachers important to you?
Emotional Appeal
Where a person is made to have strong feelings
about a situation or product. E.g. An exstudent may have wonderful memories of
going to this school.
Use images, words that
Give strong emotions
of happiness, family,
achievement …
