In consumer and social psychology, salience has been generally treated as an attribute of a stimulus, which allows it to stand out and be noticed. Researchers, however, have only vaguely articulated the theoretical underpinnings of this term, thus impeding a thorough understanding of the perceptual processes behind its use in complex marketing communications. This book presents a theoretical approach for enhancing consumer processing and memory of marketing communication. Using schema theory and an information processing approach, the model introduced here - briefly referred to as the In-salience hypothesis emphasizes the nature of prominence which is intrinsic to any salience construct reviewed in literature. This model is part of wider Dichotic theory of salience, according to which a stimulus is salient either when it is incongruent in a certain context to a perceiver's schema, or when it is congruent in a certain context to a perceiver's goal. According to the four propositions of the model, in-salient stimuli are better recalled, affect both attention and interpretation, and are moderated by the degree of perceivers' comprehension (i.e., activation, accessibility, and availability of schemata), and involvement (i.e., personal relevance of the stimuli). Results of two empirical studies on print advertisements show that in-salient ad messages have the strongest impact in triggering ad processing which, in turn, leads to consumer awareness. The reading of this book is therefore recommended not only to academic scholars, but also to marketers especially planning ad campaigns and launches of new products.

Scientific Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, Copenhagen Business School, language: English, abstract: Several studies investigated how marketing actions can affect consumers’ product perception and thereby evoke a placebo effect. Notably, Irmak et al. (2005) were able to trigger identical objective body reactions for a product and its placebo. This suggests that manipulating marketing stimuli can not only alter subjective perceptions, but also objective physical product responses. This is in line with the inconsistent quality perceptions of NBs and PLs and leads to this paper’s research problem: What are the subconscious processes that explain how price impacts subjective taste experiences? Taste experiences are closely linked to quality assessments which are both crucial for purchase decisions, thereby impacting a company’s financial outcomes. It is thus relevant for marketers to understand how consumers derive their evaluations and how external attributes can affect them in a placebo-like manner. For this reason, the research question will be accompanied by a review of how neuroscientific approaches can add to the understanding of the placebo effect and how it can be leveraged by marketers.

What is sensory marketing and why is it interesting and also important? Krishna defines it as marketing that engages the consumers’ senses and affects their behaviors. In this edited book, the authors discuss how sensory aspects of products, i.e., the touch , taste, smell, sound, and look of the products, affect our emotions, memories, perceptions, preferences, choices, and consumption of these products. We see how creating new sensations or merely emphasizing or bringing attention to existing sensations can increase a product’s or service’s appeal. The book provides an overview of sensory marketing research that has taken place thus far. It should facilitate sensory marketing by practitioners and also can be used for research or in academic classrooms.

A set of three interrelated research designs are presented and solutions are illustrated with synthetic data. The problems include (a) measuring the relative importance of a group of product benefits, (b) selecting a package design that best connotes the psychological imagery of a subset of the selected benefits, and (c) determining what point-of-purchase display materials, brand name, and brand pricing strategy to employ in initial market introduction. Structurally, all three problems involve non-numerical, judgmental responses to multi-attribute marketing stimuli.
