The report entitled “Persuasive Messages” is an outcome of hard work


put in to the task assigned to us. We students of MBA (Morning) were
assigned an interesting yet constructive task in which we had to look for
such hoardings or advertisement images that metaphor their unstated
message. After that, we had to prepare their slogans ourselves, explain
the tag lines and explore their target markets. Finally, we were asked to
present the entire work in form of a report to convey what and how we
accomplished the task and what we learnt from it.

There has been a detailed research undertaken to put it to the form now
available. This is only a compendium of facts, but only the area that we
are considered were approached and explained in the easiest manner.

I have tried to avoid any error but nevertheless, some may have
occurred. Who would point out any mistake in this message or give any
suggestion for the improvements in the next publication.
