Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

In applying Maslow's theory to persuasive appeals, you must:

1. Decide which appeal would be most effective for the intended receiver. This may mean predicting the needs level of your receiver at the time of your persuasive effort.
2. Shape a message that capitalizes on the receiver's needs. 3. Persuade the receiver that the desired action would satisfy those needs.
