PLEASE NEED HELP!!!

So each person in my class got assigned a U.S. state and we have to write a sort of sales pitch for it. I got Arizona and I have never been there and need help.

Write a script for a promotional radio advertisement for Arizona. The commercial should contain at least four cultural or geographical reasons why a visitor should visit Arizona. The radio ad must be at least 300 words in length. Information in the advertisement should include features that are unique to Arizona. Be creative with your dialogue, and make sure your information is accurate and interesting. The research will be required to make this a fact-based presentation, and thoughtfulness is required to pique the reader's interest in Arizona. Make sure you cite your sources properly at the end of the report.

I promise to whoever correctly writes this for me will repost for 100 points ( i have 780 and dont use them that much)

Answer:

What makes a good sales pitch is the ability to appeal to people's wants not their needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

So people would rather buy a product that they would want rather than one they actually need. It's like why people buy carbonated beverages at the grocery store instead of water or health centered drinks. It doesn't matter if it's bad for you, if it's good and yummy they'll buy it.

So equating this to a location would be talking about all of the places tourists visit most. Famous restaurants, famous landmarks, see whether or not anyone famous lives in Arizona. Bring up pop culture references. Talk about famous movies that were shot there. It's all about show, it doesn't matter if it's an actually interesting place.

Bring up the Grand Canyon and how breathtaking it is to see (despite not ever visiting it), talk about the unique sandstone formations, you can talk about Pizzeria Bianco which is 8th best rated restaurant in Downtown Phoenix, or Durant's another famous restaurant. Bring up movies like Poltergeist II, Forest Gump (Flagstaff, Arizona), Transformers (Grand Canyon, Arizona), Star Trek: First Contact (Green Valley, Arizona), Star Trek Generations (Green Valley, Arizona), The Exorcist II: The Heretic (Page, Arizona), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Page, Arizona), Planet of the Apes (Page, Arizona), etc.

An ad is really just enticing your audience into wanting what you're selling, regardless of how nonsensical it is.

Hope this helps!
