The Mnemonic Effect in Advertising

This effect results in the way the brain works, when viewing any advertisement.

The less relevant the message is to the viewer, the more likely it is for him to start thinking of the products or services he is already using.

This might create a buying decision, but not the one the advertiser is expecting.

Advertising incorrectly can actually stimulates the sales of the advertisers competition.
E.g. Your driving your car and hear a pizza commercial on the radio.

You might think of the advertiser, but if you know this commercial your more likely to ask yourself if your hungry, then if you feel like pizza, and if so, then you'll probably order pizza from your favorite pizza place, which might not be the one that is advertised.

In the end you might even end up buying a burger instead. In this case the commercial just reminded you that you were hungary.

And this is how the mnemonic effect in advertising works

snow day effect

The extreme joy of knowing you can go back to bed because school/work has been cancelled, but you can't because you're so excited to have the day off.
I was dead tired today and needed a nap, but I couldn't because I had to work. But then my shift got cancelled--I have the night off, and now I can't sleep. Snow day effect strikes again!

The Subway Effect 2.0

The feeling anyone feels when they only order a 6' inch at Subway. You always want the foot long, and feel vastly empty without it.
Jon only ordered a 6' inch that day, so they had to go back and eat some more Subway.
Similar to the Subway Effect.
However, the Subway Effect 2.0 is the craving for the extra 6 inches'
....
And yes that's what she said.
