As a parent, my experiences often reveal a lack of crucial information from advertisers. Recently, I took my daughter to an interactive art installation at a local museum that featured a vast ball pit. While the concept was exciting, the execution left much to be desired. The islands in the pit, designed for climbing, were made of hard plywood, leading to unexpected bruises after several unsuccessful attempts to escape the depths of the balls. As I applied ointment to my sore legs, I questioned why there was no warning about potential injuries.
This experience highlighted the need for more relevant advertising, particularly for parents. Here are a few suggestions for improving how products and services are marketed:
Bras
Advertisers should feature bras on a variety of body types, showcasing them on models with different breast shapes and sizes, including those that have undergone changes due to pregnancy or aging, so consumers can see how the product fits their needs.
Water Parks
Instead of a single family enjoying the lazy river, provide an aerial view of the park during peak season, packed with visitors, so that families know what to expect in terms of crowds and chaos.
Toys
Alongside age recommendations and images of children using toys creatively, packaging should indicate the difficulty level of opening the box, particularly on special occasions like birthdays when time is of the essence.
TV Ratings
While content warnings for violence and language are helpful, a scale rating for the annoyance level of character voices would be beneficial. For example, a scale from “pleasant” to “grating” for animated characters could help parents prepare for what they might endure during movie time.
Food Products
Instead of solely focusing on the nutritional content, information about how easily a snack might stain clothes—like the notorious Go-Gurt—should also be included, along with tips for removal.
Detergents
Labels should include humorous yet honest disclaimers about stain removal effectiveness, such as “That Go-Gurt stain? Good luck!”
Cars
Safety ratings should not only assess crashworthiness but also the ease of installing car seats in various models, particularly in challenging conditions.
Movies
Theaters could provide information on ticket prices, showtimes, and the typical temperature inside, helping parents decide how to dress for comfort.
Video Games
Beyond age recommendations, there should be insights into how addictive a game may be and how difficult it might be to peel kids away for meals.
News Broadcasts
Local news segments should alert parents to potentially frightening content, allowing them to tune in at more appropriate times.
Medications
While critical warnings regarding usage are standard, hints about taste and how much convincing it might take to get kids to take medicine would be invaluable.
Tech Devices
Parents primarily want to know about battery life and how long a device will keep children entertained.
