The commercial consists of quick flashes of the man and woman and only three pic­ tures of the beer they're trying to sell. Advenisers have to develop fresh. unique ideas, but they must let the viewer kilow what their product is. "Sex sells" is a mono conveyed through many commercials. Maybe sex does sell- But wouldn't it be nice to know WHAT it sells? Just imagine all the people who enjoy relaxing in their favorite chair and flip­ ping past channels in the middle ofthe commercials using their remote control. If they only saw 15 seconds ofmany commercials on TV these days, they would not know what the commen;ial products are. For many ads, it would be impossible to guess the product. Another commercial nashed the image of a man and a woman across the screen. Seductive music is played in the background. It could be a commercial for sheets, perfume, wine or binh control. It was a conunercial for a new music television station . Now suppose another commercial flashes across my screen with a macho man and a sexy woman. Will it be the beer commercial or the music TV commercial? Suppose another company tries the same kind of ad: Will you be able to tell which commercial and product goes with which man and woman?
