The company does this by promoting one of a kind baseball cards with each purchase. The text was persuasive because it tells you how you can trade the baseball cards with your friends and how they have cool facts on them.

We trust doctors with our lives, so to see one smoking a Camel cigarette and the ad saying “The doctor’s choice is America’s choice” just pushes the point that it is the right decision. The credibility of a doctor could trigger a consumer to think if a doctor smokes Camels so should I. The ad triggers consumers to want to be like the doctor.

Analysis Baseball players come in many shapes and sizes but all of them are important when it comes to winning a ball game. Each position is key for the team to be able to function. It’s like a machine- if one part doesn't, work the whole machine isn't going to work.
