A Visual Success




Ben and Jerry's new ice cream flavor is a big hit in Ireland and Europe. For the company this is a visual success in the European market for customers, since many buyers associate a product with their lifestyle. Many locations in Europe is cold and filled with snow at times during the year. Therefore, Ben and Jerry's made a flavor that has the snowy white appearance with a warming taste of marshmallows.

A Visual Miscue



By changing a beloved ice cream name to celebrate Vermont's legalization of gay marriage, this caused Ben and Jerry's to lose their loyal customers. These customers include church goers and Conservative people. By changing their name and image of an ice cream, the "chubby hubby" caused a stir with a customer's moral and spiritual belief system, which associates them in their dicission making while buying a product from a company.

Congratulations Message to Ben and Jerrys

Dear Ben and Jerry's Inc,

As a loyal customer, I am very happy with your ice cream products. The many different assortment of flavors have a very positive impact on what I crave for when I shop for your ice cream. I am pleased to say you are continuing to enforce professional customer service and interaction with your employees in any Ben and Jerry's ice cream store. Especially, I am very pleased and with the management and staff of the Ben and Jerry's located in Alapharetta, Georgia. Your assistant manager, Phillip R Noeth, deserves every penny he receives, because he maintains the store pretty well in both his current job in the Alapharetta, GA and also while working in the Times Square location last year. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Lisa Melanie Martinez.

Cookie Dough


As a loyal customer and ice cream fanatic, I believe you should purchase Ben and Jerry's most delicious ice cream flavor: "The Cookie Dough". This product features large chunks of chocolate and the delicious taste of cookie dough as a cold ice cream product. Trust me, once you put this in your mouth, it will feel like you are eating cookie dough before it is baked. What it basically is, is vanilla ice cream with lumps of chocolate chip cookie dough. Of course, I’ll only share my wisdom, not the ice cream itself, so put your tongue away! The taste is more natural and also it feels like homemade.

Ben and Jerry's: Photoshopping Goes Wrong

The visual evolution helped many companies in a good and bad way. Sometimes, the negative effect could be destorying the company's image through photoshopping and altering a company's product or message.

This is an example of that problem:

Chapter 13: Video Presentation

The video presentation is the best type of visual out there for Ben and Jerry's. Laughter is known as the best medicine and it is a good advertisement scheme for the consumer to associate themselves with a product and it's television commercial. With the uses of catchy phrases, appealing music, the right setting/situation and images related to the product, this is a very effective way to sell ice cream. By synthesizing both comedy by making the audience and also adding their product to the skit, this is used to help the audience remember the message of buying the product. The video above shows an example of Ben and Jerry's holding a contest for the best politically correct commercial with the product placement of their ice cream with the two founders and an ice cream product.
