He stands in front of hundreds of boxes of lanundry detergent. He chooses one brand, pays for it, and leaves. Why does he pick that specific kind of soap? Is it truly better than the others? Probably not. These days, many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and price. If products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another? Although we might not like to admit it, merials on television and advertisements in magazines probaly influence us much more than we think they do. Advertising ingorms consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from shampoo to toothpaste to puters and cars. But there is one problem with us.

But we still buy Zoom toothpaste out of being unpopular and having no friends. If fear is the negative motive for buying a product, then wanting a good image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. For example, a modern young woman might like to think that she looks like a beautiful movie star. A middleaged man might want to see himself as a strong attractive athlete. Advertisers know this. They write specific ads to make certain groups of
