Chapter 7 - Persuading Customers Flashcards
What is source credibility?
A source’s persuasive impact, stemming from its perceived expertise, trustworthiness, and believeability
What is the sleeper effect?
when the consumer separates the message from its source (can work in marketers favour sometimes). A consumer may remember the content but not the source. For example remembering a notice about the health system but not the political party putting out that notice.
What is the theory of differential decay?
suggests that the negative memory of low-credibility sources decays faster than the content of the message.
What is the difference between impersonal and interpersonal communications?
impersonal communications (marketing departments, advertising, or public relations agencies)
Interpersonal communications may be either formal sources (sales person in retail location) or informal sources (peers)
What are three barriers to communication?
Selective exposure (levels of attention to ads depending on interest)
Time shift (recording and skipping over commercials, personalized editions of newspapers, do not call list)
Psychological noise (competing advertising messages or distracting thoughts)
How can we overcome the noise? What is noise?
Noise is anything that breaks the flow of communication or distracts from the content of the message.
Ways to overcome include repetition, contrast, digital technologies, effective positioning and providing value
What are experiential ads?
Allow customers to engage and interact with products and services in sensory ways and to create emotional bonds between consumers and brands
Mid-Roll Ads
Promotions that run in the middle of streaming videos, allowing viewers to view about 50 percent of the program before they appear
What is the difference between traditional media and new media?
Traditional media - broadcast, one-way, directed at groups. everyone gets the same message
New Media - narrowcast, two-way, addressable. targets smaller groups and interactions
What are three components of addressable advertising?
Customized (tailored ads enable marketers to focus on customers who have already shown interest in their products), interactive (elicit action) and response measurable (can measures responses because of consumer feedback from consumers)
How can messages be structured?
Verbal (spoken or written) and non verbal (a photograph, illustration, or a symbol) or both!
What is cognitive learning?
exposure to a message leads to interest and desire for the product and ultimately to buying behaviour.
What are the steps for sponsors?
- Establish objectives (create awareness, promote sales, encourage/discourage practices, attract patronage, reduce dissonance, create goodwill)
- Select medium
- Design (encode) messages
What are the four message decisions?
Image and text (visual complexity (feature and design complexity. Preference for words vs pictures varies)
Message framing (benefits, need for cognition etc., negative framing is something bad you want to avoid used more for a low need for cognition. Positive framing would be used when you have approach goals and the benefits are stated)
One-sided (marketers pretend that its products are the only ones of their kind) vs two-sided messages (when competition exists, acknowledging competition)
order of presentation (ex. ads shown first are recalled the best primacy effect (particularly if your ad is low interest), and recency effect - those shown last are more noticeable)
What is native advertising?
when messages are designed to blend in with editorial content, podcasts and infomercials
