Role of “Sex” in Marketing
I have heard this quote a few years ago saying that “Free and sex are two most selling words in the entire world.” Well, it seems like media personals throughout the world have taken this quote very seriously. We all know about the importance and effect marketing have for the growth of a business. While every business and advertising agencies are working hard to get a unique marketing idea that can work wonders for their product, one thing that remains common in most of them is the central theme, which revolves around “sex.”
The important question that arises is, are our marketing agencies out of new ideas or they are simply adapting for the easy way out? The possible reason is they do not want to take the risk of experimenting with new ideas, especially when they see a definitive growth if the sell what is already a hot cake. This is also one of the factors why you see women in skimpy clothes and erotic positions even it they are selling Tin bespoke solutions or toothpaste.
As far as women are concerned, a large percentage of women agree disprove portraying them as a sex-object in the advertisement. Most women find it uncomfortable to sit with relatives or parents when the TV screen is bombarded by countless sex-based ads.
It cannot be denied that ‘sex does sell’, but marketers should be careful about the type of audience they are targeting. Clearly, women and older audiences feel offended with wrong ads and it may work negatively for your product. The bottom line is that the marketers should consider the product it is selling, the type of audiences and develop their ad accordingly.
