... Nike: Rhetorical Analysis of Commercial Slogans A long run on a rainy day, lifting an extra fifty pounds, spending the extra hour at the batting cages; whatever lights that fire in all of us motivates us to get up and work can be triggered by the phrase “Just Do It.” “There Is No Finish Line” keeps you motivated for even better success. Just because you do it doesn’t mean you have to stop once you meet your goals. These phrases can also be recognized as campaign slogans for the Nike Company. These campaign slogans have proven to be effective at selling the product and picking up strong support along the way. Nike products are seen everywhere whether it be the actual product or an advertisement which means Nike is doing something right. Nike as a company is able to hold a strong ethos and a popular warrant in advertising their products. The Nike slogans appeal to a wide audience variety, and Nike’s appeal to one’s emotions through pathos may be the strongest aspect. The Nike Company has proven themselves well over the years with supporters such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant. All three of those names are applied to highly paid NBA basketball stars that everyone has at least heard of. Having supporters such as famous athletes gives Nike a strong ethos in their campaign because if the highest paid athletes are using Nike products, then the logical thinking is that Nike must be the best. For example, in a television commercial that aired in 2007, Nike gathered...

...Most companies use slogans, taglines or catchy phrases in their advertisements to tell the world what makes their product or service special or different. A slogan can become the foundation of a company’s identity if done well however, if done poorly - a slogan can send the wrong message and actually drive customers away. This is why it is important to have a solid and accurate tagline. When you develop an effective advertising slogan – one that’s notable and gives a precise picture of what your business is all about – the slogan becomes an important part of your brand. An advertising slogan reveals a lot about your company, especially when the slogan reveals something about your prices, services or what customers can expect. This is exactly why I agree that Walmart was right to drop their tagline “Always Low Prices. Always”. Walmart is not always going to have the lowest price on an item so the continued use of the slogan could possibly work against Walmart when people start observing the prices may not ALWAYS be lower. Even though, this tagline did reach with millions of customers, their second operation – the price rollback campaign helped stock soar 1173 percent in the 1990s. This strategy was more appealing to the eye; people saw a smiley face slashing prices in half. It did wonders for the company! It was like the store’s mascot, it was on the commercials, store signane, employee aprons and their buttons. It was during 2000 – 2007 when Walmart’s stock prices fell and remained...

...A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a political, commercial, religious, and other context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose. The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm tanmay (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry").[1] Slogans vary from the written and the visual to the chanted and the vulgar. Their simple verbal nature usually leaves little room for detail, and a chanted slogan may serve more as social expression of unified purpose, than as communication to an intended audience. Marketing slogans are often called taglines in the United States or straplines in the U.K. Europeans use the terms baselines, signatures, claims or pay-offs.[2] "Sloganeering" is a mostly derogatory term for activity which degrades discourse to the level of slogans. Advertising slogans are short, often memorable phrases used in advertising campaigns. They are claimed to be the most effective means of drawing attention to one or more aspects of a product. Its purpose is to emphasize a phrase that the company wishes to be remembered by, particularly for marketing a specific corporate image or connection to a product or consumer base.[1] Some slogans are created just for specific campaigns for a limited time; some are intended as corporate slogans, to be used for an extended period; some slogans start out as the former, and find themselves converted to the latter because they take hold with the public, and some are...

Its operations are carried out through the following segments: Consumer Products and Service; Professional, Device and Solutions; Pictures; Music; Financial Services; and Other. The Consumer Products and Service segment includes Sony Computer Entertainment, Sony Network Entertainment, VAIO & Mobile Business Group, Personal Imaging and Sound Business Group, and Home Entertainment Business Group. Sony engages in a variety of different marketing efforts, as one of the world's largest and most pervasive corporations. Sony's former slogans have been "The One and Only", "It's a Sony", "like.no.other" and "make-believe". Its current slogan is "BE MOVED”. During the 1990s, Sony transformed itself from electronics manufacturer to global entertainment company, establishing a leading position in music, movies and computer gaming (“AdbrandsWeekly.”2015). But those new ventures distracted attention from the company's core business, which is now struggling to maintain its position in the rapidly changing marketplace. Sony invented the concept of portable personal music players and dominated that sector for almost 20 years before its lead was snatched away, virtually overnight, by Apple's iPod. At the same time Samsung and LG have usurped Sony's position in televisions and home entertainment appliance (“AdbrandsWeekly.”2015). There...

Advertisement is seen many times especially on television. Television is the most efficient way for business industries to use to take advantage of showing advertisement Television advertising is often bypassed by small and mid-sized businesses in favor of print, radio, and even Internet. They often view TV as too expensive and may believe that only large national companies can advertise on it.

For certain types of small or mid-sized businesses, television may be a better advertising medium than any other.

...DATE: October 23, 2005 TO: The COO of ABC venture capital firm FROM: Harichand Chandunair, Legal Expert SUBJECT: Legal Due Diligence I would like to thank the management for giving me the opportunity to study Joe’s landscaping and tree trimming business and make recommendation about the legal issues surrounding the business under consideration. Joe is very successful and has enough clients to keep him busy, along with at least 50 workers, working six days a week. Joe did not have a lot of money to start a commercial landscaping and tree trimming business, but he did it anyway. He started small, but has plans to expand his business. I would say Joe’s idea is excellent. He decided to start a business in Memphis where commercial landscaping and tree trimming business can flourish 8 months every year. “Location” is the key to a successful business. There are several legal and regulatory issues involved in the commercial landscaping and trimming business. Joe’s company is following the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, Occupational Safety and Health Association Regulations (OSHA) etc. ABC venture capital firm is least likely to face any legal problems in those areas. It is seen that Joe sometimes fires minorities, women, protected class etc. without stating valid reason. This could result in costly lawsuits and cost the reputation of the company. We must convey this to Joe and convince him and make him understand...
