How Does Color In Package Design Lead To Emotional Appeal And Consumer Behavior?, Andrea Floyd
Honors Theses
Consumer behavior can be broken down into specific components including different behaviors, such as attention, motivation, and persuasion, which can all lead the consumer to purchase. Within the literature, there is a common order that consumer behavior tends to follow, and all consumers go through a series of steps in their decision process before making a purchase. Scholars claim that attention leads to motivation, which leads to purchase. Many scholars also recognize emotional appeal and emotional value and their large influence on consumer behavior. Attention, motivation, and purchase can all be provoked using emotional appeal. Scholars suggest that emotional appeal …

Does Twitter Create Similar Patterns Of Positivity/Negativity As Face-To-Face Word-Of-Mouth?, Nicholis Jones
Honors Projects in Marketing
Word-of-mouth communication is important to organizations because it is a free form of advertising and has been shown to be influential on consumers’ purchasing decisions. Marketers of course, would like WOM to be positive and thus increase brand reputation and sales. In the past decade, new forms of communication have created different channels for WOM to travel through. Current social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter allow one person to send a message to many almost instantaneously. This study’s objective is to examine the WOM on the networking site Twitter. Previous research has indentified the relative incidence rates of …
Effects Of Chronic Regulatory Focus And Product Type On Internet Purchase Decisions, Chad Ryan
Effects Of Chronic Regulatory Focus And Product Type On Internet Purchase Decisions, Chad Ryan
Honors Projects in Marketing
This study draws on Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT; Higgins 1987) to explore factors that affect a consumer’s online purchase attitudes and intentions. According to RFT, consumers tend to be either chronically promotion- or prevention-focused. Promotion-focused consumers are concerned with positive outcomes. Conversely, prevention-focused consumers are concerned with avoiding negative outcomes. Promotion-focused consumers are more willing to take risks than prevention-focused consumers (Higgins 1997). Promotion-focused consumers also prefer hedonic shopping experiences (i.e., pleasurable), whereas prevention-focused consumers prefer utilitarian shopping experiences (i.e., task-oriented) (Arnold & Reynolds 2009). Because products that are purchased on the Internet cannot be seen or touched prior to …

Effect Of Reciprocity On Well-Being In Interpersonal Marketing Relationships: An Interview Study, Simon J. Pervan, Liliana L. Bove, Lester W. Johnson, Chih-Huang Lin
Lester Johnson
This article investigates the potential for marketing managers to develop personal well-being in commercial relationships through the upholding of a norm of reciprocity. Interviews were conducted with 10 senior marketing managers across a range of industries, all of whom dealt with persons from outside their companies. Findings indicate that the norm of reciprocity is more prevalent in strong marketing relationships. Within these exchanges, there is a greater likelihood of achieving behavioural confirmation and status; two instrumental goals for the obtainment of social well-being. We suggest that organisational rewards may not be the only motivator for individuals to engage in commercial …

Does Marketing Have An Image Problem? An Empirical Study In To The Opinion Of Marketing From The Perspective Of Business And Consumers., Tony Ferguson
Theses
In the 50 year period since the marketing concept was first introduced to business strategy, we have witnessed a shift from the post-World War 2 austerity of supply shortages, to a modern day consumerist society, where maturing markets and an excess supply of goods and services pose serious challenges, in a highly competitive business environment. As competition has intensified, businesses have endeavoured to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Billions of dollars have been invested in research to gain an insight in to what motivates a highly sophisticated and increasingly cynical consumer. These challenges have been exacerbated since 2008, by the …

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
In this paper, case-based measures of marketing expertise, a construct perhaps similar to critical thinking, are developed. The measures only achieved modest reliability. In a pre-post design, there was some evidence that students improved in marketing expertise during the quarter, but the effect is probably small, indicated that repeated training would likely be necessary to achieve more substantial learning gains.
