This pattern did not hold for those who held weak beliefs of the positive stereotype. These findings extended the literature on accent and service communication by demonstrating the moderating role of stereotypes, which help explain the inconsistency in the literature.

A sample of 185 respondents was collected from salespeople in Lebanon using a questionnaire, and data were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM) using AMOS graphics 24. The outcomes revealed that salesmanship, technical, AEL, and EI skills drive adaptive and cross/up-selling behaviors. In addition, social media use enhances the relationship between salespeople selling skills and behaviors. Finally, this research suggests key insights into the social selling context and offers guidelines to marketing managers on how to execute an effective social selling strategy.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"961 - 993"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42447130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two path models tested with 247 U.S. adults (Study #1) and 680 U.S. undergraduate students (Study #2) explore these AG mindset antecedents. Study #1 shows (1) a direct positive effect between belief in good luck and flourishing, (2) belief in good luck indirectly influences flourishing through life satisfaction and happiness, and (3) flourishing relates positively to AG. Study #2, a self-replication-with-extension, shows (1) flourishing alone relates positively to AG, and (2) flourishing serves as a mediator between the studied mindsets and AG. Thus, it behooves advertisers to run promotional campaigns that encourage a flourishing mindset among consumers.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"1019 - 1054"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44632427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The availability of intrinsic and extrinsic cues to aid in the decision-making process is limited when shopping online, given that consumers rely on website descriptions about the product, limiting opportunities for personal visual inspection. Potted plants are a unique area of study for marketers given that these products often have minimal branding (extrinsic) cues, resulting in heightened examination of intrinsic cues such as the overall plant health. When shopping for minimally branded products online, a hedonic web shopping environment might be able to provide consumers with extrinsic attributes to help compensate for the lack of physical interaction with the product. This current study investigated the effects of hedonic/utilitarian presentation of minimally branded products (e.g., live potted plants) on consumers’ willingness to pay and purchase intention. A 2 (retail brand: hedonic vs. utilitarian) x 3 (product presentation: hedonic vs. utilitarian vs. both) between-subject experiment was conducted. Results showed that hedonic presentation of minimally branded products has potential to positively influence consumers’ purchase intention and willingness to pay. Managerial implications and future research are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"1077 - 1106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48923025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the factors in evaluating advertising media is efficiency. Considering the various indices affecting the efficiency of advertising media, this study uses the DEMATEL technique to investigate the relationship between these indices and the DEA to evaluate and rank the efficiency of them. The DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is a mathematical technique that calculates the efficiency of multiple decision-making units based on multiple inputs and outputs. The DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) technique is used to construct an influential network relation map to indicate the relationship among criteria. The results indicate that newspapers, magazines, radio, internet, and social networking sites, outdoor advertising, and television are the most efficient advertising media in the food industry, respectively.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"923 - 943"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46744001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical results showed that using Internet memes was more effective than using serious images in the setting of brand-related Twitter posts. Specifically, when this study’s participants perceived the deployed meme to be humorous, they evidenced positive attitudes toward the post and greater intention to share the post on social media. Furthermore, bandwagon cues were found to moderate the meme effect on persuasion through perceived humor. Participants’ humor perception was enhanced when exposed to a meme post featuring a large number of replies, retweets, and likes (i.e., a high level of bandwagon cues). An unexpected outcome that emerged from the data was that funny memes had a negative impact on brand recall through humor perception. This study’s exploration of funny memes as humor stimuli within the context of social media adds to the literature on humor communications in marketing, as well as illustrates the importance of bandwagon effects for humor persuasion.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"944 - 960"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47748430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the persuasion knowledge model’s (PKM) change of meaning principle and the covert advertising recognition and effects (CARE) model, an experiment with 600 U.S. adult internet users shows that (a) use of “advertisement” (vs. “brand voice”) strengthens perceived sponsorship transparency and subsequent advertising evaluations, (b) perceived sponsorship transparency transforms the negative indirect effect of use of “advertisement” (vs. “brand voice”) to positive, and (c) this positive indirect effect is enhanced during high prominence disclosure. In short, if consumers see clear and conspicuous ad disclosure for native advertising, they infer the advertiser’s credibility, but this perception can improve persuasive effectiveness if the advertiser is seen as transparent. The theoretical, managerial, and social implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":16879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Promotion Management","volume":"28 1","pages":"1107 - 1128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44853800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
