Abstract

In advertising, features and benefits are one of the most important elements for marketers to persuade their audience about products or services they sell. Drawing upon the features and benefits’ definition proposed by Bly (2005) and the transitivity theory proposed by Halliday Matthiessen (2004), this study focused on the way features and benefits are distributed and represented in fashion, food beverages, cosmetics advertisements. It analyzed three categories of most encountered advertisements on Instagram, incorporating features and benefits of the text in the caption box of Instagram advertisements. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method since it is credible to analyze this linguistic phenomenon and is useful to complement, validate, explain, or reinterpret the data in this study. In terms of distribution, this study found out that features are mostly discovered in Instagram advertisements rather than benefits, and features are used more by fashion and food beverages advertisements. Meanwhile, benefits are mostly encountered on cosmetics advertisements since cosmetics need to tell more about what the user of the product gains as a result of the features. Furthermore, in terms of transitivity analysis, it turns out that fashion and food beverages advertisements use more relational process on their texts, while cosmetics advertisements use more material process. These findings are quite predictable in this particular text type as the ads copywriter generally aims to arouse their potential customers’ interests, and this can be achieved by consistently describing product features as well as benefits.Keywords: Benefits, copywriting, features, Instagram ads, transitivity.

Abstract

Features and Benefits are the two important elements in advertising that marketers usually use to get the audiences’ attention about products or services that they try to offer. By employing a features and benefits theory by Bly (2005) along with transitivity theory by Halliday Matthiessen (2004), this study focused on the way features and benefits are distributed and represented in smartphones, e-commerce, and makeup YouTube video advertisements. This study used a descriptive qualitative method to explain or interpret the data. This study discovered that features occur more dominantly with 63.27% in smartphones, 51.11% in e-commerce and 54.84% in makeup YouTube video advertisements. Meanwhile benefits are only used 36.73% in smartphones, 48.89% in e-commerce and 45.16% in make up YouTube video advertisements. In other words, all of these three categories used more features than benefits in advertising their products and services. These findings indicate that features meet the potential buyers’ needs and solve their problems as features describe the important aspects that potential buyers are looking for. As for the transitivity process, these three categories of YouTube video advertisements frequently use both relational process and material process. The relational process expresses the product features and attributes, while the material process suggest that these advertisements are typically concerned with actions and events. This is in line with the advertising copywriter’s strategic goal which generally aims to persuade potential buyers and arouse their interest in the products and services being advertised.Keywords: Benefits, copywriting, features, transitivity, YouTube video advertisements
