Best Way - Effectiveness of Subliminal Messages

Subliminal messages are messages geared to impact the viewer's subconscious without registering in the conscious mind. Subliminal messaging does work and has many applications within the field of marketing, but it won't make someone buy something he would not have bought otherwise. It can, however, promote an emotional response that may make a marketing message more memorable.

    Strategy

  1. "Subliminal" is a term used to describe anything that is below the detection level of conscious perception and can take the form of words, images or music. The Republican campaign in the 2000 U.S. presidential election gained note for its use of subliminal messaging in which the term "RATS" was flashed across the screen just after an image of Democratic candidate Al Gore. Subliminal messaging was vigorously questioned when the concept was first talked about in 1957 and several countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, banned its use. In 1962, the old studies were revealed to have been falsified and the use of subliminal messaging has been common, at least to a degree, ever since.

    Many advertisements are believed to contain hidden images that invoke certain emotions and associations. For example, the Coke can shown on many advertisements is thought by some to include obscured images of a naked woman in the melting ice on the can. Another exam ple is the use of phallic and sexual symbolism in cigarette and alcohol advertisements, designed to provoke the idea that cigarette or alcohol use is sexy. It also creates excitement about the product, even if the product itself has nothing to do with sex. One example of this is the use of phallic symbols in a Disney movie advertisement, found in the source below.

    A 2009 study completed by the University College of London found that subliminal messages are most effective when displayed for 33 milliseconds and that negative messages are more useful (77 percent effective) than positive messages (59 percent effective). This means that an advertisement that says, "Kill the use of fur." would likely be more powerful than one saying "Don't wear fur." This finding can be applied easily to most marketing campaigns.

    A similar technique, called "priming," has been used in marketing for ages. Priming is the pairing of a message with images and colors that invoke a positive response. For example, a brand image paired with happy music, bright colors, and pleasant images will provoke a positive emotional response from the viewer, so when he sees the product in the store, he remembers the positive emotional response. In a 2005 study, researchers Sid Kouider and Emmanuel Dupoux found that priming does have a significant effect and that effect becomes stronger the more often the message is repeated. Further, the effect is consistent, regardless of a change in the speaker's voice.

    While viewer reaction to words may be somewhat different than the reaction to images, the potential benefits of using subliminal messaging are clear and use of the technique requires only careful planning and strategic positioning. Examples, such as the use of the color green to signify eco-friendly, are seen daily. The value of subliminal messaging to a business will vary based on the individual characteristics of the business itself. Attention should be paid to color choices in advertisements and logos, the images associated with a business, and the background upon which a product is displayed.

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h
