- The behavioral component is demonstrated by purchasing decisions based on brand preferences.

- Marketers can increase the affective component by employing classical conditioning, increasing exposure, or enhancing ad likability.
Message Framing and Appeals
- Effective advertisements utilize emotional appeals to elicit positive responses without focusing solely on product arguments.
- Comparative advertising demonstrates the strengths of one product over competitors, which can backfire if it fosters negative consumer reactions.
- Two-sided messages, which present both pros and cons, can effectively change well-established attitudes.
Celebrity Endorsements and Humor in Ads
- Celebrity endorsements can attract attention and create aspirational value but carry the risk of overexposure and negative behavior by the celebrity.
- Humorous ads need to resonate with the audience and tie closely to the product for maximum effectiveness.
Fear Appeals and Accountability in Advertising
- Fear-based advertisements must also instigate a sense of accountability to drive consumer action and can be enhanced by guilt.
- Emotional advertisements can boost attentiveness and processing, making them more persuasive.

- Different framing strategies are utilized based on the context, focusing on either positive attributes or negative consequences of inaction.
Advertising Mechanisms
