Golden, crisp, fresh, hot, nicely salted……what just came to mind? One may think of an order of McDonald’s famous fries. McDonald’s seems to get the job done for a lot of people when it comes to a daily meal. McDonald’s prices and deals are always reasonable. Ever wondered why we go back and forth to McDonald’s as often as we do? McDonald’s great system of advertising plays a major role in this. McDonald’s spends at least $800 million dollars on promoting the restaurant each year (www.bloomberg.com para2). McDonald’s advertisement is what makes the company and restaurants within the company so strong. This ad I chose to analyze is a great example of McDonald’s brilliant ways of advertising.

McDonald’s even advertise their fries well in the store because when you walk in the fry machines are the first thing you see with a bold light to show the freshly cooked fries. As soon as you walk in the fresh aroma of fries hits you right in the face. The item that McDonald’s s selling has to be popular and high in sales what better than the fries. Researchers say that 77% of people said the French fries in the bag stamped with the McDonald’s arches and a smile tastes better than fries from a plain white bag. (http://www.nbcnews.com/ para.4).
