    Persuasive Techniques

    • Card-stacking: highlights products' best features while omitting potential problems or flaws, often presenting half-truths.
    • Name Calling: uses names that evoke fear, hatred, or negative emotions to associate a person or idea with a negative symbol.
    • Plain Folks: uses testimonials from ordinary people to promote products and showcase real-life experiences.
    • Glittering Generalities: employs words that evoke positive emotions, often using virtue words or catchphrases to attract attention.
    • Soft Soap: uses flattery to win over the audience, which can be either sincere or insincere.

    Social Influence

    • Bandwagon: persuades people by showing that the majority is already on board, encouraging them to join the trend.
    • Testimonial: relies on a famous person's endorsement, recommendation, or vouching for a product, service, or value.

    Association and Simplification

    • Transfer: projects positive or negative qualities of a person or object to make it more acceptable or appealing, often based on association.
    • Simplification: reduces complex issues to simple ideas, targeting uninformed readers and oversimplifying crucial issues.

    Emotional Appeal

    • Loaded Words: uses emotional appeal or stereotypes that cannot be supported by concrete evidence, often to sway opinions or attitudes.
