Advertising theories also make use of content specification, Specific message and media characteristics, consumer characteristics, product/service characteristics, and competitive actions.

The Arousal Theory
The Arousal Theory
A theory put forth by researcher Donald Lindsley in the 1951, and expanded upon by researcher Ellis Lee in 1996.
It states that every person has an an “optimal level” of arousal from his or her environment, with too little stimulation causing boredom and too much stimulation causing anxiety. The threshold for arousal increases with experience, so more exciting experiences are needed to stay at the optimal level. Advertisers must continually push the envelope to hold our attention through marketing campaigns.

Theory of Selective Perception
Selective Perception
Selective perception is the process by which individual selects, organizes and evaluates stimuli from the environment to provide meaningful experiences for him- or herself. This means that people focus in certain features of their environment to the exclusion of others. The consumer automatically chooses which information to notice and this kind of selection is dependent of different perceptual filters which are based on the consumer's earlier experiences.
Long term branding issues should also be considered if using shock advertising as a communication method. Using shocking pictures could affect the way consumers perceive your brand and quality of your product. The ethics is always important to have in mind, and using fear or other strong messages might not always be the best and most effective method to use.

Shock Print Advertising
Shock advertising is a method of advertising that purposely offends and startles its viewers in an attempt to gain attention, encourage cognitive processing, and have an immediate impact on behavior. Ads containing disgusting images, sexual references, profanity and obscenity, religious taboos, vulgarity, impropriety or moral offensiveness are considered to be “shocking”. It has been used for many years around the world, but has recently been questioned as to whether or not it is still a productive method of advertising.
Shock avertising is a very controversial technique used in the field, with many critics claiming it to be an immoral and low route to take in getting a brand, idea, or issue noticed. The “shock” tactic, whether seen as immoral or not, has been proven over the years to be an effective way of gaining an audience’s attention. Unfortunately, as times have changed and people have been exposed more and more to norm violating material, advertisers must face the decision whether to keep trying to “shock” their target market, or to ditch the method completely.
