The Drink of Feminism Cosmopolitan is a very popular magazine among single females in their twenty’s. Majority of females this age tend to drink alcoholic beverages for a number of reasons, including the attempt to stay feeling young and trendy. Single women are also known for going out and drinking in attempt to find a possible mate. In the October 2011 issue, two different companies including Skyy Vodka and Kahlua attempted to create an advertisement to persuade Cosmopolitan reader’s to buy their products. The bold Skyy Vodka advertisement does a better job in persuading females in their twenties to buy their product rather than the Kahlua advertisement due to the use of feminine colors, well places fonts with relatable slogans and it’s messages of going out and having fun.
The first reason why Skyy Vodka’s advertisement is more effective than the Kahlua advertisement is because of the use of bright outgoing colors. The background as well as the fruit are hot pink, which naturally grab a feminine woman’s attention. The hand holding the fruit is very well tanned and the woman’s nails are bright red, the colors represent ideal beauty and will also grab the attention of a woman. This will especially attract a single woman because they feel doing things to their appearance such as having bright red nails will attract a male’s attention to them. The entire font is white and the vodka in the martini glass is clear, along with the martini glass itself. This brings the image of a refreshing and natural drink. The bottle of Skyy Vodka is a dark shiny blue, which really pops against the bright pink and draws your eyes to the bottle which has the product name on it. The woman’s hand has a silver metal cuff on it, which brings a slight edginess that a woman would want, especially a woman on the prowl seeking men. The advertisement really pops, the colors are all perfect together and everything on the advertisement is eye catching. In contrast to the vibrant colors in

    Skyy Vodka has consistently been perhaps the most sexually suggestive advertiser of its genre. Its ads typically contain a thin, young, and beautiful woman in tight clothing with some sort of sexual power over her enticed male counterpart. The ads are not shy to appeal to sex and often promote the sexual benefits of drinking Skyy Vodka. While the advertisement for Skyy Vodka titled “The Antagonist” seen in People magazine’s May 7, 2007 issue adheres to the usual standards of Skyy ads, it has an underlying theme of white, male supremacy and the female threat to that power.…

    The scene of the ad takes place at night in a sky-rise apartment in some thriving metropolis. In the apartment, the drapes are for now pushed aside while a woman, perhaps in her 20s, stands straddling a man, with an indefinable age, sitting in a 60s-style chair with only his legs and forearm visible. The man holds a martini and the woman holds a drink mixer while seductively looking into the hidden face of the mystery man. The man is wearing a business suit and the woman wears the clichéd “little black dress” paired with studded black heels. Both the male and female are Caucasian. In the left foreground is the picture of the product, a Skyy Vodka bottle sitting next to a martini on a table. The main appeal to sex is made by the body language between the man and the woman, as the man’s legs are in between hers and her posture and leering facial expression scream “seductress.” Another…

    Purpose – The purpose of this study is to address the relation between task and relationship conflicts at work and employee well-being. It seeks to examine psychological detachment from work during off-job time as a moderator in the relation between conflicts and well-being. Design/methodology/approach – In a field study, 291 white-collar employees completed survey measures of task conflicts, relationship conflicts, psychological detachment from work during off-job time, and well-being. Control variables included workload and job control. Findings – Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that employees experiencing high levels of task conflicts and high levels of relationship conflicts report poorer well-being. As predicted, psychological detachment from work mitigated the negative relation between relationship conflicts and well-being. Contrary to expectations, psychological detachment failed to moderate the relation between task conflicts and well-being. Practical implications – The study suggests that employees should be encouraged to disengage mentally from work during leisure time. Originality/value – This study links research on workplace conflicts with research on recovery processes. It tests the moderator effect of psychological detachment from work on the association between workplace conflicts and well-being.

    Is it something to be regarded as a work of beauty or art? Is it clever slogans or amusing prose? Is it workmanship to be judged for an award or recognition? It’s none of the above. Advertising is salesmanship multiplied. Nothing more. And advertising copy, or copywriting, is salesmanship in print. The purpose of a copywriter’s job is to sell. Period. The selling is accomplished by persuasion with the written word, much like a television commercial sells (if done properly) by persuading with visuals and audio. As Claude Hopkins wrote in his timeless classic, Scientific Advertising: “To properly understand advertising or to learn even its rudiments one must start with the right conception. Advertising is salesmanship. Its principles are the principles of salesmanship. Successes and failures in both lines are due to like causes. Thus every advertising question should be answered by the salesman's standards. “Let us emphasize that point. The only purpose of advertising is to make sales. It is profitable or unprofitable according to its actual sales. “It is not for general effect. It is not to keep your name before the people. It is not primarily to aid your other salesmen. Treat it as a salesman. Force it to justify itself. Compare it with other salesmen. Figure its cost and result. Accept no excuses which good salesmen do not make. Then you will not go far wrong.…
