ThirdDrawerDown 4,398 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I haven't the references to provide as hyperlinks, but from what I've been told about marketing and advertising-related things. 1) Two circles O O As humans, show us two circles and we treat them as eyes. Seems to be hardcoded in the species. Eyes grab attention. 2) Young women The presence of young women in photos attracts the attention of both genders, and retains the attention for longer, again for both genders, and leads to increased sales. Let's put it another way: the notice would have less attention paid to it if the young lady was removed. Frankly it makes me feel exploited and manipulated. I'm perfectly capable of not reading the instructions, and with the young lady's image present I simply have to work just that little bit harder. But I can read an entire newspaper and not see any advertisements. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

But I can read an entire newspaper and not see any advertisements. In marketing it applies to both sexes. It's 'Industrial psychology' Same reason good looking symmetrical men and women do better in the work place compared to unattractive asymmetrical men and women. That being said, I never noticed the image before now, I tend to read the notice and little else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed! The level of research by the marketing industry would possibly leave the military far behind. What they know about us collectively, and individually, is staggering... they know how we tick, how we think, and how we act. They prey on human insecurities to move their products... ... and it's very effective. Link to post Share on other sites
EV Cali 1,038 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 @Billy Shears It appears to me that your "Mrs'' is making a valuation that the person is "hot" and that "It is needed". And then putting that valuation on to the Admin of this site. To me it is a female holding a stop sign that is covering most of her face. Fifty percent of the population is female so why should a woman not be holding the sign. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
