1. The target audience of this one is for young children, most likely female. Typically, people over the age 7 know that Santa is not real, and the statement acknowledges Santa’s existence as if he was a real person. In well written persuasive techniques, the target audience must believe in what you say, so the target audience must believe in Santa and must be under the age of 7. In addition, the demographic for Barbie as a brand is mostly female, and the statement states that their produce is a great addition to the target audience’s “Barbie collection”. So, the target audience must be young girls.
2. The target demographic for this is for working adults with children. Crock pots are designated for people who don’t have time to sit there and cook. Working adults normally have some time after work to cook dinner, but having children changes that fact. Children take up a lot of time, so the target audience wouldn’t be able to cook dinner regularly. So they would use this recipe because it uses a crock pot.
3. The target demographic for this statement is for retired people. Retired people are retired because they have earned enough money to live comfortably without working. Since they have all of that accumulated money, they are able to donate to the statement’s cause. Retired people also don’t have jobs, which means that they would have the time to be able to serve food all day.
