Needed to draft you the tiny word to help say thanks a lot yet again with the fantastic tricks you’ve contributed at this time. It has been simply strangely open-handed of you to offer easily just what some people would’ve distributed for an electronic book to help with making some money for themselves, most importantly seeing that you could possibly have done it if you ever decided. The tips as well served to be the easy way to know that other people have the identical dream like mine to understand lots more regarding this problem. I’m certain there are thousands of more enjoyable instances in the future for individuals that look into your website.

It would be highly unethical to use subliminal messages in advertising. However, there is no such thing as something which doesn’t affect the subconscious mind. That means that anything effectively has a subliminal component to it, whether you try to avoid or not.

Derren Brown is excellent in the way that he explains this kind of manipulation with such clarity. There’s a very fine line between subliminal manipulation and outright control.

I feel that advertising in any form is good – as long as it is positive advertising. TV ads are certainly expensive – but they have the highest reach – and that is why the biggest advertisers are FMCG companies.

As seen on it good ads for branding. Tv advertisement are very popular but its much cost.

I watched Derren Brown doing this when it first went out on UK TV. He’s a psychological illusionist so he’s very clever in the way he does things like this. He’s even clever at the way he presents this stuff to the TV audience. So I would say it’s a very extreme example.

I disagree with the comment from “Cat Forum”. I dont think you need to be open or succeptible to the idea of subliminal advertising at all. It works and you dont even know it. It is powerful stuff that affects the subconscious mind.

Subliminal advertising is used in the media constantly. In the political ads leading up to the last election you could constantly (if you were paying attention) see little touches here and there that would associate the person with symbols and things you recognize. Advertising is all about you remembering and associating the “product” with positive thoughts. I would not be surprised if advertisers and political media developers hired psychiatrists on their staff to accomplish this better. Why not use every advantage? I don’t think subliminal messages exactly mean “tricking” someone or “implanting” anything under the radar, it is just human nature to associate things in their mind and we are constantly taking in the scene for recall later. Of course things in the scene effect our opinion of the “focus”

I definitely think subliminal is in many advertising media forms, especially TV.

I thought I remember hearing that the people who weren’t open to hypnosis won’t go in the subconcious state. So you sort of have to probably be open to the idea to begin with to be swayed.

Good post, I’ve tried making my own subliminal videos with positive affirmations and images. I’m fascinated with the mind and how to influence it. You can Check out one of my vids; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNQy-2uqdN8

If this is true then its really scary to think that you don’t actually make decision for your self i.e. someone else arrange it for you to make that decision.

But the again I saw David Copperfield do this kind of trick in front of live audience.

Are you subliminally trying to make me think?

We bought Johnsonville brats, hotdog buns, and french fries the other day because of a Johnsonville advertisement on late-night TV. Not so subliminal, but it did make us realize we’d not had brats in a while. LOL

I studied psychology and am quite sure that submliminal messages in advertising have little effect on people – no matter how “weak-minded” you are. Lots of the early scientific studies into the phenomenon turned out to be really flawed. Don’t worry people!

We are all connected, we influence one another in subtle (as well as not so subtle) ways.

This is not frightening – it is empowering and remins me of our esponsibility to embrace only good and true thoughts/visions…if we are toxic, our interdependence is threatened.

Thank you for sharing this experiement with the online community.

Subliminal messages only affect those week minded. Just like marketing gimics. How many times have you heard this line “But it was on sale” No, they don’t affect me.

There has never been study that proves subliminal messaging can influence someone to buy something. There have been studies linking subliminal messaging to somewhat influencing actions.

Companies can not make you buy things through subliminal messaging. However, the publics perception of subliminal messaging is generally the opposite. People believe they are very much affected by it, and just don’t know it, which is false.
