Testimonial
•A famous person endorses an idea, a product, a
candidate.
•If someone famous uses this product, believes this
idea, or supports this candidate, so should we.
For example:
If we drink milk we will all
be as famous as Milly the
model.

Milly the Model
asks, “Got Milk?”
Loaded Words
•Words that leave us with positive feelings
are used to describe a product, person, or
idea.
•We associate those words and, therefore,
those positive feelings with the product.
For example:

inspired by the words
“true love”? If you wear
this cologne will
someone fall in love with
you?
