Crazy Christmas Ads: Back In The Days

Posted in Advertising

The main objective of any advertising campaign is to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service. With the Christmas theme in mind, let’s see what advertising firms in the old days attempted to get people to buy for their love ones…

    Advertises can be considered as a mirror concerning the state of the society I guess.
    Anyway, happy new year!

    Hahahahahah! Times have changed indeed! Firearms, and even worse, children with firearms! No way!

    Then the tobacco ads will definitely be unacceptable today, that much is assured. This is before we start analysing their mesagge!

    The evolution of advertising is something that will never cease to amaze, and indeed one has to wonder where this will be in another 100 years from now!

    Nice. Times have indeed changed. One reason I enjoy watching the TV show, Mad Men. It’s able to give us an idea of just how different in some ways, the culture and social mores were, just a few decades ago.
