Opinion formation: the first time we develop a belief, feeling, or attitude about something
Opinion formation: the first time we develop a belief, feeling, or attitude about something Comprehension: involves the interpretation of a stimulus When meaning is attached to the stimulus The meaning depends on what occurs during stimulus processing
Stimulus categorization: classifying stimulus using the mental concepts and categories stored in memory The category to which a product is assigned will affect how the product is interpreted Products and advertisements can be miscategorized
When consumers pay attention to advertising, they may experience: Cognitive responses: thoughts evoked by the ad Affective responses: feelings evoked by the ad
Different advertisements require different amounts of processing Information-laden ads require extensive processing, while simple ads require less processing As consumers invest varying amounts of cognitive effort in comprehending information, they will have different interpretations of advertisements

The power of association in shaping consumers’ opinions
The Central Process of Opinion Formation The Peripheral Process of Opinion Formation
Central process: process in which opinions are formed from a thoughtful consideration of relevant information
Central process: process in which opinions are formed from a thoughtful consideration of relevant information These opinions are very sensitive to the strength or quality of the relevant information presented Ads describing brand advantages lead to more favorable opinions
The persuasiveness of an ad’s claims depends on the thinking undertaken during processing The extent to which opinions about the advertised product were affected by the ad claims depends on the amount of product-relevant thinking during processing
What is the potential for nonclaim advertising elements to provide product-relevant information? When relatively little thinking is done during processing, opinions are unaffected by picture manipulation When more thinking occurs, opinions are more likely to change
Peripheral process: leads to the formation of opinions without thinking about relevant information
Peripheral process: leads to the formation of opinions without thinking about relevant information Often attitude toward an ad is an important determinant of advertising effectiveness in shaping opinions Peripheral cues: stimuli devoid of product-relevant information
Other factors may bias or alter information processing and cause a change in how the information is interpreted Expectations and mood states may bias information
Any subsequent modification in an existing opinion represents opinion change
Any subsequent modification in an existing opinion represents opinion change Whenever consumers have opinions that may prevent them from buying a product, businesses may strive to change consumers’ opinions
The need to change consumers’ product opinions often arises for mature products
The need to change consumers’ product opinions often arises for mature products Sometimes changing consumers’ opinions requires improving or changing the product itself (updating its image, packaging or claims)
The differential threshold: the smallest change in stimulus intensity that will be noticed Just noticeable difference (jnd) Weber’s law: achieving jnd depends on more than simply the absolute amount of change Consumers will perceive a $1. 00 discount as significant if it is on a $2. 00 item, but not for a $100 item
Influencing opinions at the time they are formed is easier than changing preexisting opinions, especially if they are confident Consumers’ resistance to change varies from opinion to the next and depends on whether it is based on direct or indirect experience
Making changes can improve the opinions of some but harm the opinions of others Changes in a products’ image may attract one segment but alienate another Sacrifices are acceptable as long as the losses are more than offset by the new customers gained
Product name Product packaging Colors Price perceptions
Free product samples Advertising Product endorsers Message framing
The meaning derived from the name may influence the opinion formed about the product When it conveys the wrong meaning, sales can suffer
Research on composite branding shows the brand name appearing first has the strongest influence on attributes associated with that name Descriptive names and labels have also been seen to influence consumers’ opinions and behaviors
Product packaging creates expectations of the product and its capabilities including impressions of how much product is inside the package Packages are effective at drawing attention particularly when they have an unusual shape or are taller and thinner as opposed to shorter but wider packaging
Me-too product packaging, which imitates packaging of a leading brand, tries to create favorable opinions with consumers Stimulus generation occurs when, for an existing stimulus-response relationship, the more similar a new stimulus is to the existing one, the more likely it will evoke the same response
Consumer opinions are often tied to the product’s color (which conveys meaning) Color granules in detergents and cold capsules serve as a visual cue for products’ effectiveness Pastel colored vacuum cleaners are perceived to be lighter in weight rather than dark colored tones
Colors of foods may change expectations of flavor and also change perceived flavor (vanilla pudding that is colored chocolate) Websites that use blue screens are seen as more relaxing with faster download times than those with yellow screens
Nine-ending prices: when the last digit of the price is the number 9, it signals a lower price or is mentally rounded down Given a price of $19. 99, it can be viewed as $19. 00 instead of $20. 00
Reference pricing: information about a price other than that actually charged for the product is provided
Reference pricing: information about a price other than that actually charged for the product is provided Price tag may carry actual price and manufacturer recommended price or price previously charged Designed to encourage consumers to form a favorable opinion about the reasonableness of the price
Free samples (gifting) can be effective when introducing a new product They encourage trial and help foster positive opinions
Advertising Appeals
Informational advertising appeals attempt to influence consumers’ beliefs about the advertised product Emotional advertising appeals try to influence consumers’ feelings about the advertised product
Advertising Appeals The appropriateness of using a particular type of appeal depends on what’s important to consumers as they form their product opinions Products can be valued for both their utilitarian and value-expressive properties
Advertising Claims
Stronger claims create more favorable product opinions Relevancy makes claims stronger Strength also depends on what the ad conveys about the product’s characteristics and benefits
Ad claim substantiation is important in opinion formation Testimonials and product demonstrations are effective ways to substantiate claims
Search claims: claims that can be validated before purchase by examining information readily available in the marketplace
Search claims: claims that can be validated before purchase by examining information readily available in the marketplace Experience claims: claims that require product consumption for verification
Search claims: claims that can be validated before purchase by examining information readily available in the marketplace Experience claims: claims that require product consumption for verification Credence claims: claims whose verification is impossible/unlikely
Objective claims focus on factual information that is not subject to individual interpretations Subjective claims are ones that may evoke different interpretations across individuals Objective claims are more persuasive than subjective claims
Advertising Executional Elements Other elements play a role in the persuasion process: Pictures Camera angles Typeface
Endorsers can help shape product opinions in several ways:
Endorsers can help shape product opinions in several ways: Match-up hypothesis: endorsers are more effective when perceived as appropriate for the product
Endorsers may give testimonials and provide evidence of product’s attributes (make-up on a model) Endorser’s trustworthiness is critical in increasing the believability of the ad claim Endorsers may serve as a peripheral cue
Gain-frame messages emphasize what is attained by following a message’s recommendation Loss-frame messages emphasize potential costs incurred by ignoring a message’s recommendation
The loss-frame is more effective as losses loom larger than gains (loss aversion) Loss-frame messages are more effective when consumers are in a positive mood state
Framing can also shape opinions of the product’s affordability by describing the product’s total cost as smaller costs over time Pennies-a-day strategy: decomposes a product’s price into its cost on a daily basis
Creating the perception of scarcity for a product can influence consumer behavior Scarcity effect: an object is viewed as more desirable as its perceived scarcity increases
Can be done by communicating how little of the product is available or suggesting that demand exceeds supply
Consumers use the maximum number of units identified in the restriction as a starting point and adjust downwards based on other considerations (a deal’s attractiveness, budget constraints, etc. )
