Subliminal Messaging: Post #2

Subliminal Messaging has been prominent in advertising for as long as advertising has been around. Subliminal messaging is where subconscious messages are placed in people’s minds through other messages. These became popular in the mid 20th century, and have taken many forms, including tapes that people listen to. They can affect your mood in many different ways by listening to them, and they can do things like relax you or boost your self esteem. These messages are seen in commercials and TV today, in the form of background music. By putting background music in a commercial, companies can make people feel good about a product, which will make them more inclined to buy it.
