Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $ 600 a second. 54 Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money---and making money is what television is all about—the commercial is by far the most important.
Research, market testing, talent, and money—all come together to make us want to buy a product. 55 The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. 56
And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. 57 If you want to get a lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell the products to an upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hairstyles are the types that the group agree with . if you want the buyer to feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.
We laugh at commercials. We don’t think we pay much attention to them. 58 The making of a TV commercial that costs so much money is not a kid stuff. It’s a big,big business. And it’s telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simple, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing.
