The present study examines the perceptions of Gen Zers and millennials toward branded NFTs and the impact of these perceptions on their attitudes and behaviors toward both the NFTs and the brand. The study proposes and tests a model based on the technology acceptance model and the theory of reasoned action to explain how NFT perceptions (perceived usefulness, ease of use, playfulness, risk, and scarcity) influence their evaluations of branded NFTs, willingness to purchase branded NFTs, brand attitude, and ultimately brand loyalty and purchase intentions, via a quasi-experiment. Findings showed that the perceived usefulness, playfulness, and scarcity of NFTs, as well as NFTs as a low-risk purchase, helped strengthen brand purchase intentions. More important, attitudes toward branded NFTs, willingness to purchase NFTs, brand attitudes, and brand loyalty positively mediated this relationship. Also, perceived descriptive norms of NFTs positively related to willingness to purchase branded NFTs. These findings advance both theory and practice in NFT marketing, representing one of the first empirical studies in this area.Keywords: Brand loyaltybrand purchase intentiondescriptive normsNFT marketingNFT perceptionstechnology acceptance model Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics StatementThis study has Southern Methodist University IRB Committee approval (Protocol ID No. 22-115).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the General Board of Higher Education & Ministry of The United Methodist Church under the Sam Taylor Fellowship Fund.Notes on contributorsQuan XieQuan Xie (Ph.D., Ohio University) is an Assistant Professor, Temerlin Advertising Institute, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University.Sidharth MuralidharanSidharth Muralidharan (Ph.D., The University of Southern Mississippi) is an Associate Professor, Temerlin Advertising Institute, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University.Steven M.

To obtain some insights on chatbot advertising effectiveness, this study examined the role of perceived autonomy on consumers’ perceptions with chatbot advertising interfaces. Through two experimental studies, results showed that chatbots elicited a lower level of perceived autonomy compared to the website interface, which decreased consumers’ perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the chatbots, and further influenced satisfaction and product attitude. In addition, this negative effect could be mitigated by anthropomorphizing the chatbot as a servant to consumers. Theoretical and managerial implications of these findings were discussed.","PeriodicalId":37217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interactive Advertising","volume":"26 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136316835","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}
