Attitude toward the Ad
Nota Bene
It is NOT that the ad, and attitude toward the ad are not that important for a high involvement product.
Rather that in high-involvement situations, the ad’s role is to create strong brand beliefs.
In contrast, in low involvement situations, the ad attitude directly impacts brand attitude even when it creates no brand beliefs.

Molding Consumer Attitudes
4e MYCBBOOK .COM
Other people’s attitudes are important to us.
If they are negative, we will gain nothing from those consumers.
We want them to be positive, so we may benefit from them.
That is why we are always trying to mold those attitudes. (And others are trying to mold ours.)
But no one can mold another’s attitude.
People persuade themselves.
Attitude Molding boils down, then, to helping consumers in their own endeavor to self-mold their attitudes.

You will need to re-read this chapter, that is. Frequently and often.
