Results (We received a lot of joke responses to our questionnaire, and we have not included these in the results) Question 9: Which of these advert types is your least favorite? Most people dislike over the top adverts Question 10: What is your opinion on TV adverts Some are good, but most are annoying I could happily do without them but I know they find the programmes we watch so better than paying even more for tv. When they're popular (for good or bad reasons) they can create talking points, which I think is a really good thing. Certain TV adverts can make someone's day and that's something that's quite lovely. They're good for finding out about new products I tend to use advertisments as a loo break or for coffee They get annoying Too many long-windedl adverts that you sometimes wonder what they are advertising. I prefer short funny adverts. Adverts can be beneficial if they are informative and current some of them are good but most of them are just time consuming and annoying. It is a very good way of influencing a target market to buy your product or services There were a range of responses here

Analysis A lot of people said they like the Cadbury's gorilla and the Compare the Market Advert. This could be because they have animals in them and they're funny, or it could be because they’re the most memorable. If someone enjoys an advert but can’t remember it then they won’t write it down. Most people have bought something because of a TV advert and this proves that adverts can be successful People did not like adverts like the Go Compare advert because they were annoying, they also didn't’t like adverts that were too long. People liked Funny and Surreal adverts however they did not like Over the Top adverts. If an advert is annoying this will put people off the product, however it does make the advert more memorable. People like an advert with catchy music. From this information, we have decided that for our adverts we will: - Make it surreal or funny - Include a catchy song but not any song that is irritating - Not make our advert too long - Make it clear what the advert is advertising Whilst making this questionnaire we received a lot of joke answers and this made it hard to judge how valid and accurate the information is. If we were to do it again we would get a lot more responses so if we did have any joke answers the results wouldn't’t make as much of an impact.
