Peripheral cues are elements of a persuasive message that are not directly related to the argument or the message content but can influence people's attitudes or responses. Background music, scenery in a television commercial, a salesperson's accent, and a salesperson's physical appearance are all examples of peripheral cues because they can affect how the message is received without altering the core message itself.
