Children are also the concentration part for the producer to attract the children to their product and the mechanism they applied to attract the customer are the advertising in the context of the children behavior as which form will attract them as the parents are loved to buy the product to their child.
For example: Children are exposed to the form of food products like chocolates, chips, toys, juice drinks at large amount of advertising per year to get the attention of them. And they media those are commonly used is the Television Media as it is the easy dimension to reach them. Besides this, retails stores take the initiative to get the attention of the children as they could tell the parents to buy the product by the means of displaying some interesting views like artificial carton displays.
It is tendency of the producer to attract the children toward their product through advertising food products as they are delivered the message in the advertisement the food is more tasty and unhealthy. And they make the parents to believe that the advertised products are more healthy and nutritious.
The ways in which food advertising plays a vital role to the children behavior are the factor of motivational arousal that the food is tasty and it is worked as the motivational aspect for the children state of mind, and another factor of psychological aspect to the exposure of advertising for buying the product as it works as the feelings and emotions to purchase, and other is entertaining dimension of advertising which is too positive to increase the possibility to purchase.
The hedonic risk appeal in advertising
(Raza, 2017) states that Hedonic risk can be defined as the risk of the being overwhelmed with the great pleasure and state of happiness from a particular aspect. The risk involved in the advertising that provide the state of happiness and great pleasure by using a particular product. The case demonstrated the product of Mountain Dew that is responsible to create the hedonic risk to the youth of Pakistan for a case scenario that is found true. The advertising campaigns of Mountain Dew was showing a risk to attract the customer like young consumers in the format of an innovative idea in Pakistan that may affect the males and females to implement such themes being motivate or influenced by drinking Mountain Dew, and then the risk factor is involved and that is the life risk to the youth generation if they attempt it.
For example: The young generation wants to live their life lively with some exciting moment. Freedom is the core characteristics to the extent of the exciting life for them. The advertisement of Mountain Dew could be the real life example that has hedonic risk appeal in advertising.
(Salman, 2017) states that Youth are involved with the modern technology and they know about the whole around and what is happening around the world. In that case, the hedonic risk appeal in the advertising may impact negatively if they are interested to do the same activity by using the product what the product is directing the youth. So, there is no doubt about the risk. But is true, the youth are also so conscious about the implications of it. But some scatter situation can change the whole scenario. Still, it is not supportive to use risk taking activities in advertising because hedonic sensitivity may lead them to pursue risky activities as they like excitement in the life. Finally it could be said that the hedonic risk in advertising may improve the brand awareness among the youth and may affect the attitude of the young people towards the brand and the true fact that hedonic risk does not affect the attitude of brand consumption.
Conclusions
Advertising obviously promote the consumer behavior whether it could be the promotion for female through celebrity advertising, promotion for the children through advertising tasty food, promotion for the Youth through risk appeal in advertising.
All the forms are done to promote the consumer behavior by using the different strategy for different age or different group people. It is the success of advertising promotion.
