Babies and Animals Equate to Gold in Print Advertising

๏ปฟ๏ปฟ๏ปฟIf youโ€™ve been in marketing or advertising for any length of time youโ€™ve probably heard it before, but just in case, here it is again. Babies and animals sell. Itโ€™s one of the oldest tricks in the books of savvy marketers. They add a cute factor to campaigns and a sense of innocence is given to the product. ย With some campaigns such as diapers, using babies in the ad is a natural fit. With others itโ€™s a stretch, but thatโ€™s what can really grab the attention of consumers.

From the advertisers perspective theyโ€™re trying to cash in on a consumerโ€™s emotions. Who can say โ€˜noโ€™ to a winking toddler or withhold a giggle when viewing an ostrich in leather boots?ย  The ads can create a lasting effect. Below, youโ€™ll likely see some familiar examples from years past, and hopefully some fresh ads you havenโ€™t seen before.
