Advertising Campaign Task 1: 20 products that I own and why do I choose it


Toshiba Satellite L745
The reason I purchase this laptop is because it’s specification, which is quite good at the time I bought it. Intel i5, Nvidia GeForce GT 525m, 4gb RAM, and 600gb Hard Disk Space. What’s not to like for a reasonable price? I had never seen another person uses Toshiba laptop before I bought it, but the reason I decide to try it because of the processor and the graphic card.

Ambros Euro Hiker
Even though this is one worn-out boots, it’s still really comfortable footwear. The very reason I get this boots is because it’s not easy for me to find a pair of shoes with my size, even if there is most of them are way expensive. Except for Ambros here and look how manly it is.


Reebok DMX Ride
Reebok DMX Ride is basketball shoes, but that doesn’t mean someone has to play basketball to wear it. I bought this shoes is because of the hi-top features it had, and I was really into Hip-Hop when I purchased this. Now, not so much.


5 Gum
The first time I heard of 5 brand chewing gums is from TV commercial, the commercial is quite good but a bit misleading, but it got my attention. That’s the reason I choose this brand, rather than other brand of chewing gums when I decide to buy one.

Dragon War™ Leviathan Laser Gaming Mouse
I had always wanted to buy a gaming mouse because of its’ side buttons, and the DPI button. At first I wanted to buy Razer brand gaming mouse, but after my brother’s Razer Mouse broke only after 2 month of usage, I set my eyes on other brands.



Seagate Expansion Portable Hard Drive
I had never heard of Seagate brand before, and actually it is quite a good brand. Their main product is hard drives. I had always wanted a portable hard drive, and that’s the reason I bought it.


Snickers Pencil Case
This pencil case is one of the unique yet simple things I have seen. This is actually a gift from my brother, even though he knows I don’t like chocolate that much. At first, I didn’t fond of it. But, after days of using it, I started to like it because it does resemble the real Snickers, there’s even the Nutrition Fact and the Ingredient list at the bottom of the case.


Faber-Castell True Gel Pen
I have been using Faber-Castell True Gel pens since I was in high school, and it had quite smooth strokes. I use it as a writing pen and sometimes as a drawing pen too. It was recommended by my friend at first, and I did not regret ever trying it.


Axe Deodorant Body Spray
Everybody know what Axe deodorant is, after it’s’ rather brave TV commercials. This is one of the products that I used right after watching its advertisements. But still, it is not a chick magnet.

SajiMee Instant Noodles
I don’t care what brand my instant noodles are as long as they taste good. And SajiMee does the job. It is not too salty as some Instant noodles are. I had never tried SajiMee before, and this is actually was given and recommended to me by my grand-aunt.

Shieldtox Mosquito Spray
The reason I chose Shieldtox rather than Ridsect is because it is relatively cheaper, and it smells better too.

Emkeke Marvel Bagpack
I had never ever heard of the brand Emkeke in my whole life, but there are Marvel characters on the bag’s sides. That reason alone is enough to convince me to buy it, even though this is not Marvel’s legitimate product.


Star Wars Coffee T-Shirt
I had been a fan of Star Wars ever since the first time I saw it on the cinema, even though the one I saw is the first of the prequel; Episode 1, which got quite a bad review. Anyway, the reason that I chose this Star Wars t-shirt, other than I’m a fan of it, is because I love how it is based on Starbucks logo and its’ t-shirt as well.



Mountain Dew
Other than its energetic TV commercial and its catchy line, Mountain Dew my choice of soft drink because of its tangy tastes. I haven’t tried it until one of my housemates came home with a big bottle of it.

DARS Acoustic Guitar
It is a weary and worn-out guitar but can still produces great sound even though I haven’t heard of its brand before. It is a second hand guitar I bought from my friend who sold it for an electric guitar. The reason I bought it is because I have always wanted a guitar after I had learned how to play one.



Bleu Mineral Water
I had started drinking plain water ever since my brother convinced me to do it. The reason I chose Bleu mineral water rather than other brand is because, it’s not that expensive but not too cheap either.


PV Signature Cologne
This cologne is given to me by my father and I’d grow to love its scent as it reminds me of him. I have not heard nor seen this brand. So, when I shop for cologne, I will try to search the one that had the similar scent as this one.


BANDAI BB Senshi Sangokuden SD Gundam Series
I had 7 of this series of Gundam and the reason I started collecting them is because it is based on The Three Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, which is I’m very fond of. I’d first known of its existence is when I was walking around inside a toy store with my brothers. What is more interesting is, they advertise this toy line by making a TV series.

Staedtler Luna Colour Pencils
Luna colour pencils is my favourite because I had been using it since I was in kindergarten, and it had been part of me since. It may seem childish, but I’m more comfortable using colour pencils than any water-based colours.

AJI-SHIO® Flavoured Black Pepper
This is my favourite seasoning in my food, ever since my mother bought it when I was still in primary school, until now. The reason I like it very much is because it didn’t just contain black peppers, but also some other spices and herbs making it suitable to eat with any kind of dishes.
