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.

Attitudes. Every marketing manager must understand the concept of attitude and know how to measure it.

EXECUTIVE BRIEF

As a marketer, there is no task of greater importance than to build and sustain a positive consumer attitude.

To build and sustain positive consumer attitudes, you will need every bit of knowledge about how attitudes are formed and sustained.

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