    Large, bold, blue and orange print grab the reader’s attention with the statement “Want to lose 3x more weight than dieting on your own?” The page is has pictures of a woman blowing bubbles and looking at a child playing on a playground as if to say to readers that this is what you can do if you use our product to lose extra pounds. It appeals especially to mothers who want to lose weight so that they have the energy to keep up with, and play with, their kids. The other picture is of what presumably is a Jenny Craig meal of bright, green, fresh vegetables with chicken and potatoes. It would seem that the food photo is used to persuade the reader that it is easy to lose weight with this program because the food is so delicious. The advertisement urges the reader to contact Jenny Craig for a personal weight lose consultant. This tactic is used to demonstrate to the reader that they don’t have to go through this difficult process alone, that someone can help them through it. The ad also uses a well-known organization in its advertisement. “Proud supporter of American Heart Association” along with the AHA logo is toward the bottom of the page and is likely used to show the reader that using the Jenny Craig plan is good for their health and also to lend more credibility to the…

    As an ad targeted toward women, it further devalues fat woman in society and reaffirms the value that culture places upon women’s appearances. Moreover, according to Shguart, “the impulse to (over)consume is vindicated—that is, to redress some fundamental lack, which is the core justification for consumption: the obese overeat to ‘fill a void’ or to ‘stuff a hole’” (Shugart 114). This void is often the feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment that are induced by our unattainable cultural values of beauty, success, and normality, the very values that Weight Watchers reaffirms with this ad. Therefore, while the ad may be effective in taking advantage of our culture’s values to attract more customers, Weight Watchers, even without considering its lack of success in actually encouraging weight loss, has only exacerbated the deep rooted issues that has led to the obesity epidemic in the first…

    It’s put out by Dr. Layne Norton who is a competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter. His doctorate is focused around nutrition and exercise physiology. The automated nutrition coach system is based upon the popular diet system known as macro tracking or flexible dieting. This diet is focused less upon restrictions and more upon hitting recommended values of macronutrient and micronutrients. This automated system is advertised to provide specific ranges for these recommended values. Each customer will receive their macro’s updated weekly based upon a number of factors. It’s goal is to reduce the cost of flexible dieting coaching, making it more accessible to consumers. I believe this promotion was successful. The program seems very logical and at a price point of ten dollars per dollars per month can’t be beat. The creator is very credible in his profession and has had many other successful product releases. After a short three minute video, I want to know more about the product. If further research into the product were to confirm what the video depicts, I would strongly consider giving the product a try. We’ve covered marketing to a target audience in class, this is video is a strong…

    According to nutrition experts, unlike the HCG Diet Plan, the Diet Solution Program makes adjustments to a follower's diet depending on the kind of body and metabolic rate he or she has. Because of this, the follower begins to shed off excess pounds immediately. Many people follow this program because it does not require them to constantly go to the gym and take diet drugs or nutritional supplements. It just has recommended meal plans that users must commit to.…

    Activia Paper

    I think that the target market that Activa is trying to go after is families because they want to provide a healthy and delicious product to their customers. I don't think the company has a certain target age because they have people of all age on the website because everyone wants to be healthy regardless of their age. One other target market besides families I did notice after doing a little browsing would be athletes also because of the picture I saw along with the caption of "Discover the nutritional benefits of Activa." This makes athletes want their product because when athletes think of their diet and being healthy they think of the word nutritional. I believe that this allows them to effectively reach out to their target audience because people are still purchasing the product and another way that they are making sure they are reaching the audience is by giving promotional codes to customers if they like them on face book and things like that.…

    Weight Watchers at Work seems like a great service for those with busy lives. I believe it takes a lot of discipline, support, and motivation to remain active in this type of service. These meetings at work gives an opportunity for everyone to be supportive and stay motivated. The convenience of having the meetings at work is so much easier to participate than to set aside additional time in the evenings to attend the meetings.…

    Weight Watcher's diet plan is advertised as not being a diet but more of a way of life. This is because the principle theory behind their weight loss success lies with exercise and calorie reduction alone. They do not claim you have to eat meat and eggs together and wait two hours before eating a carbohydrate as some diets do. Weight Watcher's bases their diet plan on the food pyramid. The system Weight Watcher's goes by is a simple one. Currently, they have two weight loss plans. Throughout the…

    “Weight Watcher’s” has been around since the early 1960’s. Founded by Jean Nidetch who wrote a book entitled, “The Memoir of a Successful Loser” In 1973, a handbook was prepared for women about how to implement an exchange based diet. The plan works for some women but success rate for weight loss was only 25%. Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Medifast, Lap Band Surgery and Liposuction, has made millions off of obese men and women. The community supports these companies and procedures because it improves awareness on healthy living and positive food choices. However, obesity stems deeper than just poor food choices. It is a psychological characteristic that is taught, learned or genetically pasted on.…
