A couple examples of specific strategies that can be used for persuasion are cause and effect which demonstrates the benefits of using the product and classification and division which helps the reader coceptualize how the product fits into a larger scheme. Logos plays with persuasion by using a rational argument. Pathos is used by bringing out emotions, and Ethos is using reasoning to build authority. If you were to exaggerate these, you can better enforce your message and make your reader feel what you are feeling. For example, if you were to exaggerate something dealing with pathos (emotions) you might make your reader relate to something that has happened in their life and then that might make them feel more compassionate about your advertisement and want to contribute or buy it.
Knowing context can create a better argument because you will know more information about the background which makes it easier to form a persuasive argument.
When writing papers or essays I could use strategies of persuasion by looking at each strategy and see if it applies to my writing. I can use them to form a stronger argument.
