- TV advertising has always been used as a means of advertising to persuade viewers to buy a particular product.
- The purpose of TV advertisement is to sell a product but there are two routes from the ELM such as the central route which is more factual or the peripheral route which uses more creative techniques

- Okazaki did a meta-analysis to test whether hard or soft sell techniques were more persuasive. He found as hard sell techniques focus on the specifics and factual information, viewers find it generally more believable.
- However, soft sell focuses on generating positive emotions with positive attitudes.
- Product endorsement may not always work, and it may not be as persuasive as we may think.
- Martin found Ps were more convinced by TV endorsemnet from fictional fellow students when buying a digital camera which suggests young people like to make sure their product is fashionable among peers than accepted by celebrities
- Pine + Nash also found in a study of children's Christmas gift requests in the US + Sweden, because TV ads aimed at under 12s are banned by law.
- They found significantly fewer gift requests from Swedish children than US but there are a number of possible other explanations as cultural differences
- Okazaki did a meta-analysis to test whether hard or soft sell techniques were more persuasive. He found as hard sell techniques focus on the specifics and factual information, viewers find it generally more believable.
