This document discusses principles of persuasion used in an advertisement for Carlsberg beer. The advertisement depicts an unrealistic but amusing scenario where a barbershop provides the "perfect haircut" experience with Scandinavian fjords in the mirrors and a barbershop quartet. The ad aims to showcase Carlsberg's commitment to quality. Specifically, the ad uses the persuasion techniques of reciprocity by personalizing the offer, consensus by showing others enjoying their haircuts, and consistency by depicting the enthusiastic environment of the Carlsberg barbershop.

The ‘If Carlsberg did Haircuts’ film
showcases the brand’s commitment
to delivering the finest quality in
everything it does, creating the
perfect haircut scenario filtered
through Carlsberg’s witty point-of-
view. Offering a haircut scenario that
is probably the best in the world,
Carlsberg creates a fantasy where
mirrors are replaced with epic
Scandinavian fjords, ninja-precision
razor cuts and a barbershop quartet
serenading customers on entry.
5. Persuasions
1.Reciprocity:-Personalising the offer :-There
are a couple of ways to have this reciprocity
work for you. Giving others small gifts ,treating
others with respect, and doing favors for those
in need, are all things that can win you points
with other individuals.
In this advertisement they have taken the
personalizing technique to attain the
customers. That is in this advertisement it was
seen that a person who is bald was having a
haircut with a trimmer written “reverse “ in it
.This was done to personalize the offer for
those who wish to go back in time.
6. Consensus:- Especially when they are uncertain,
people will look to the actions and behaviors of
others to determine their own.
In this advertisement it is seen that the person
who passes through the street with the dog was
not having any intention to have a haircut .The
intention to have a hair cut arises when he saw a
person with a good smile and a good haircut
coming out of the Carlsberg saloon
Consistency:- In this advertisement it clearly
depicts the way of enthusiasm that Carlsberg
provide with the music and fantasy mirror.
