Marketing efforts are likely to be more successful across the board when advertisements contain components that appeal to each cerebral division, or when the ads are targeted to a specific cerebral division.
Some industries use a "shotgun" approach, trying to include components for each brain lead. The automobile industry, for example, often inserts multiple-page foldouts in magazines or creates multiple-page brochures. Usually these are in full color and are designed to appeal to every type of prospective buyer. They are typically prepared by marketing professionals who have done costly research to determine who likes what, and which market segment is most likely to purchase which vehicle. The objective is, of course, to appeal to a buyer's fantasies and to create a desire for a specific item.
Other industries use a more "targeted" approach, trying to appeal to a specific cerebral division. Following are stereotypical examples of the types of advertisements that might appeal to a person based on innate brain lead.

Advertisements that have to do with financial aspects such as investments. The ads are often:
- Black and white
- Straight forward

- Crammed with numbers
- Emphasizing percentages or return on investment
The ads may be found in the opening pages of news reports or magazines such as Business Week or Forbes |

Advertisements that have to do with "how to" do something accurately and successfully or how to maintain the status quo, as in a security system for a home or office. The ads are often:
- Black and white
- Straightforward
- Realistic examples
- Conservative in language
- Contain step-by-step details
The ads would need to be placed in an area that conservative individuals would likely frequent or in a portion of the paper or magazine that a conservative and somewhat traditional individual would be likely to read.

Advertisements that have to do with health and well-being of family and friends. The ads are often:
- Filled with soft-focus pictures of people
- Set in collegial environments (e.g., home, restaurant, sea shore)
- Designed to elicit emotion and tug at one's heartstrings
- Aimed at caring for parents, children, or pets
- Centered around promoting harmony
The ads would need to be placed in magazines that deal with family life, people, relationships, eating, and so on.
