Various appeals are used in advertisements to grab the attention of the audience. Projecting the convenience in buying and using the products can also be an appeal in advertisements. I can name that as 'convenience appeal'. What it is? what is the convenience a customer get in buying that product. this appeal can be used in comparative advertisements, ads for services etc. In the process of communication, an audience member is easily persuaded if the message has the solution for the question, "what is in it for me?".
