Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of an analysis of selected advertisements (brands: Almette, Artresan, E. Wedel, Ultrablanc, Amol) using Aristotelian rules of preference. The author refers to Aristotle’s methods of building arguments as well as contemporary research on social influence. The article examines specific techniques used by advertisers, such as linguistic devices (including phraseology) and non-verbal tools (color schemes, music), demonstrating how they evoke specific emotions, values, and cultural symbols.
