Sold by Mighty Ape
Isabell Koinig examines how a standardized promotional message for a
fictitious over-the-counter (OTC) medication is perceived by consumers in four
different countries (Austria, Germany, the U.S., and Brazil), and the degree to
which it contributes to their self-empowerment. Building on previous research,
informative appeals were expected to not only be most appealing, but also to
aid consumers in making qualified and reasonable decisions, educating and
“empowering” them by strengthening their beliefs in their own capabilities. A field
study on three continents revealed mixed promotional messages to be most
effective with regard to both ad evaluation and consumer self-empowerment.
