Due to masses of different products and services, consumers today have a hard time choosing a specific one. This is the point where advertisting steps in. Consumer are either rationally informed and educated or influenced on their emotional characterization of a specific product. Consiquentially certain images and opinions of products and ther trademarks are created. Trademarks are divided into generic and premium by the way they operate and the types of products they produce.
The main question of this work is to determine whether there is a link between the influence of rational or emotional appeal in advertising and the type of product. Furthermore, it is going to determine whether a link between the influence of rational or emotional appeal in advertising and the consumers gender. To test the hypothesis, a questionaire was used and an experiment performed. The conclucion is that the differences in the correllations of emotional and rational appeal and premium or generic trademarks are statistically insignificant. Therefore my hypothesis was not confirmed. The differences in the correllations of emotional and rational appeal and the consumers gender was also not detected
