By now, I’m pretty sure a lot of people know about the FreeCreditReport.com commercials. You also have to admit the tune it pretty clever and catchy. I believe that the music in the commercials play a big part in advertising this online credit reporting.
In this commercial, like the others that are related to this .com company, they show a few average guys, getting ready to buy a new car. The lyrics the main character sings talks about his dream car. Unfortunately, the young man didn’t know his credit was bad and so he drives of in a dinky, little, beat up blue car. As his friends and him drive down the street, you can see the problems with the car he got. When he pulls up to a stop sign, a couple of girls pull up in a red convertible and starts laughing at the guys. The commercial ends with the man singing out the .com name. What’s funny is I think his friends in the car where playing the background music (not really of course) of his song.
Why I believe the music in this commercial is important is because it’s a catchy tune and it’s a tune that would probably get stuck in your head. So automatically you would think, “Oh! Free credit report! Right. I should check mine to see if I’m in the clear!”
Other commercials related to this is the same man with a job working as a pirate in a seafood restaurant, living in the basement of his parents home and a few others. The commercials indicate that if you are not sure about your credit, you’re not going to be able to get the things you want and need.
I believe most people can relate to this commercial because it shows the real or average life of a struggling college student or young adult (the actors portrayed in the commercials) and how they are living. And since the report is free, hey! That’s even better!
Some of the people I’ve talked to about this commercial don’t really think much of it. They thought it was just a funny, clever, something that shouldn’t be taking too seriously kind of commercial. But in reality, some of them are thankful for this .com company.
On the website, the first thing you would probably notice and read is, “You’ve seen the commercials… now get America’s #1 Free Online Experian Credit Report!” The fact that it’s America’s #1 online report would get them to it because it’s the best and it’s free! Why not find out your credit report?

8) This commercial is showing how our society is completely based on this idea of credit. The idea that you have to have good credit to make it in life. So this commercial is to get people to check their credit to make sure that they always have good credit.
ReplyDelete3) In this commercial the group of guys buy a beat up little car because they have bad credit. This gets them laughed at by the girls in a red convertable. This is showing that in our society if you do not have nice, expensive things we are looked down apon.
