ELM – two ways communication can be persuasive
Depends on the ability to process message and motivation of the receiver

Central Route- High Involvement through attention
            Facts & Logic
            High Risk
            Permanent Attitude Change

Peripheral Route- (round about route) Does not think about the communication
            Emotional story
            Colors
            Music
            Speaker
            Low Involvement
            Message is unimportant
            Content, facts, logic are temporary
            Senses, emotions, and feelings

Colors
