The Salience Of Marketing Stimuli

In consumer and social psychology, salience has been generally treated as an attribute of a stimulus, which allows it to stand out and be noticed. Researchers, however, have only vaguely articulated the theoretical underpinnings of this term, thus impeding a thorough understanding of the perceptual processes behind its use in complex marketing communications. This book presents a theoretical approach for enhancing consumer processing and memory of marketing communication. Using schema theory and an information processing approach, the model introduced here - briefly referred to as the In-salience hypothesis emphasizes the nature of prominence which is intrinsic to any salience construct reviewed in literature. This model is part of wider Dichotic theory of salience, according to which a stimulus is salient either when it is incongruent in a certain context to a perceiver's schema, or when it is congruent in a certain context to a perceiver's goal. According to the four propositions of the model, in-salient stimuli are better recalled, affect both attention and interpretation, and are moderated by the degree of perceivers' comprehension (i.e., activation, accessibility, and availability of schemata), and involvement (i.e., personal relevance of the stimuli). Results of two empirical studies on print advertisements show that in-salient ad messages have the strongest impact in triggering ad processing which, in turn, leads to consumer awareness. The reading of this book is therefore recommended not only to academic scholars, but also to marketers especially planning ad campaigns and launches of new products.

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 10, Lancaster University, course: Consumer Behaviour, language: English, abstract: This text gives an overview on consumer behavior and the subsequent marketing strategies that can be developed. We can say that consumer behavior plays an important role in the field of choosing, buying, and using the product. There are many definitions of consumer behavior. As given in a book published by sage publication "Consumer behavior is the activities people undertake when obtaining, consuming and disposing of products and services (Blackwell et al., 2001)." This definition is widely used mostly everywhere. Consumer behavior doesn't mean that it's just about how consumer behavior while buying a product or services its more about the steps that consumer and his/her mind will go through before purchasing any product, the psychological factors plays a vital in the selection of the steps and the product or services that can include, the attitude and the thought process of the consumer getting effected by his background where is he/she is coming from, the environment around the consumer also affects the decision making power.

Scientific Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, Copenhagen Business School, language: English, abstract: Several studies investigated how marketing actions can affect consumers’ product perception and thereby evoke a placebo effect. Notably, Irmak et al. (2005) were able to trigger identical objective body reactions for a product and its placebo. This suggests that manipulating marketing stimuli can not only alter subjective perceptions, but also objective physical product responses. This is in line with the inconsistent quality perceptions of NBs and PLs and leads to this paper’s research problem: What are the subconscious processes that explain how price impacts subjective taste experiences? Taste experiences are closely linked to quality assessments which are both crucial for purchase decisions, thereby impacting a company’s financial outcomes. It is thus relevant for marketers to understand how consumers derive their evaluations and how external attributes can affect them in a placebo-like manner. For this reason, the research question will be accompanied by a review of how neuroscientific approaches can add to the understanding of the placebo effect and how it can be leveraged by marketers.

This edited volume discusses contributions the field of social cognition makes to advertising and consumer psychology--including models of persuasion, the attitude-behavior relation, judgment and inference, cognitive representation, and decision making.

This Research Topic aims to showcase the state of the art in visual advertising research. Although visual processes are a central component of consumer behavior, they have been largely neglected in models explaining consumer perception of advertising. Rather than being the mere input into the cognitive or affective systems, the visual processes both voluntarily and involuntarily affect the amount and quality of information that is passed into further mental processing. Moreover, advertisements provide a well- designed, rich and stimulating environment to study visual processes in real-life conditions. Consumers encounter thousands of advertisement messages per day. Previous research on visual perception of advertising mostly considers print advertising. However, advertising messages increasingly appear in a variety of formats and in different media. Part of these messages are still conveyed through traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, as well as outdoor and supermarket advertising. In addition, the amount and diversity of visual marketing stimuli is rapidly growing in terms of different advertising formats appearing in online and social media, smartphones and tablets. This challenges the marketing professionals and academics to better understand the impact of marketing on consumers. At the same time, the technical development of the research methods allows better opportunities to investigate advertising perception in different environments. Traditionally, papers investigating the psychological processes underlying advertising perception are published in journals widespread across different disciplines, such as marketing, applied psychology and human computer interaction journals. With this Research Topic, we aim to create a forum in which experts in different fields define the state of the art and future directions of the research on the visual aspects of marketing. We include reviews and original research papers involving both empirical and theoretical studies on visual perception of advertising across different media.

Sensory Marketing offers a global view of the use of senses in marketing strategy based on consumers' perception and behaviour. Integrating the company constraints and classical approaches of branding and communication, the author presents sensory marketing as an emergent marketing paradigm in theory and practice. This book will be an important contribution that will provide useful reading for marketing scholars and consumer psychologists across the world.
