Visual illusions are an extensive part of our lives. People around us can experience something like that in a natural way or in an artificial way. Visual illusions are termed as magic in front of normal eyes. It can also be termed as illusions in the ways of science. In the behavioral analysis video by Dan Ariely, the application of visual illusions can help in marketing as well as in changing visions.
After explaining the first context of visual illusions, Dan Areily presented an example of two benches one placed horizontally and the other vertically. This example was to show which one of them was longer (Ariely, 2018). The audience answers were different as they considered the horizontal one to be the longest. However, using the help of science, the length of both the tables was found to be the same. This type of similar ideas was thrown which were eventually on the context of marketing and advertisements.
The video shown by Dan Ariely was also focused on marketing insights. The behavioral analysis shown by Dan Ariely can be utilized in getting more market analysis. On the example shown by him in his presentation, the emphasis was given on an organ donation program across several countries. It was found out that many countries opted less in this program while many other countries opted more in this program. As a result, there were grave differences between the opt-in rates. As he explained the reason for this, the countries which had low opt-in rates, adopted a different marketing strategy while the countries with a higher opting rate adopted a different marketing strategy. The marketing strategy of the lower performing countries include an opt-in page where the people were asked to check the box if they want to adopt the program. The higher performing countries were given a different opt-in box where the people were asked to check the box if they do not want to participate in the organ donation program. This resulted in them getting more response from them and thus the opt-in rate was increase to a much higher rate.

All the various products related to the company will be united under one campaign name “Taste the feeling”. This will be utilized in getting the brand awareness required for the various products listed here.
The reason for this marketing approach as considered by the marketing management of the company is that it helps in growing the brand equity in all available products in the global economy. It also helps the consumers to get the feeling of satisfaction when they can be able to purchase any product required. These products include coke with or without calories and those with or without caffeine (Leo & Kuntjara, 2017). As a result, a one stop solution will be provided to the customers such that an effective increase in simplicity and brand followers will be gathered. The campaign of the company is also considered to be the one stop for betterment and refreshment of the company.
Application of these illusion ideas in the advertising context of the company concerned can help them to get the required advertising needs. In addition, the utilization of such advertising contexts can also help them in getting more brand awareness. For example, the utilization of opt-in pages and other amounts of marketing strategies can be utilized in getting more visitors to their website. The company can also apply for shipping to the customer homes which will open an e-commerce channel for their company (Hultén, 2017). The associated stakeholders will also be benefitted from these advertising ideas. The stakeholders associated to it are the customers, retailers, advertisers and many other associated perspectives. With respect to the customers, the use of e-commerce business model can be effectively used in getting more website visits and more services being offered.

Such marketing ability will also help the retailers to order bulk quantities from the company involved right in their doorstep (Krzywoszynska, 2015). Lastly, advertisements are other prospective stakeholders of the company which plays an important part in denoting the brand presence among the people involved. As the company is only adopting the utilization of regional advertising channels, the utilization for digital marketing must also be adopted. As a result, the adoption of such channels will bring in additional success for the company involved. Moreover, there are various other advertisement networks that can be applied with respect to Coca-cola brand. Many companies are using the effects of influencer marketing for their channels (Steenkamp, 2017). This results in the formation of a huge amount of brand followers and ultimately results in growing of their network.
Thus, it can be stated that the utilization of alternate advertising solutions can help the company to get additional revenues which in turn will lead to better brand awareness in the market. There are various parts of the world where the associated company is not getting their approaches. The utilization of such channels can help them to reach out to them which will ultimately help in brand recognition.
