Message Sidedness at the Brand and Product Form Levels: Overcoming the Shortcomings of Two-Sided Messages?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates how messages that contain only positive information vary in their effectiveness from messages that portray both positive and negative arguments. The authors propose that, in a low price condition, a two-sided message with comparison at the product form level has the ability to simultaneously retain the benefits and overcome the weaknesses of two-sided communication, increased source credibility and decrease in purchase intention, respectively. Results from our experiment indicate a strong interaction between price and type of message. The two-sided comparative message at product form level outperforms both the one-sided message and the classical two-sided comparative message at brand level.
