SEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SENSE OF SMELL IN ADVERTISING: A STUDY ON CLEANING PRODUCT
Abstract
The most primitive sensory organ of smell since our
infancy is located in our memory. Like other senses, the sense of smell affects
people's feelings, decisions and behaviors. Nowadays, the brands have realized
the importance of the senses and have understood that it is necessary to
address the senses of the consumers in order to be able to place them in the
minds of the consumers and to influence the purchasing decisions. The purpose
of this study is to reveal how odors are considered bad by the society and how
the images in the advertisements are rendered. In this study, it has been tried
to make sense how of bad odor is used in advertisements and bad odor is how
removed by using the product offered in the advertisement. For this purpose,
semiotic analysis method was applied for 5 ads from the category of cleaning products. In the
advertised advertisements, the odors that were experienced and learned by the
individuals and accepted as bad are discussed both visually and symbolically by
the odor dimension. Odors such as fish, garlic, onions, raw meat, and garbage
cans included in the advertisements are understood by means of indicators. As a
result, advertisements were analyzed in semiotics.
