Spokespeople in Comparative Advertising: the Role of Spokesperson Type and Comparison Type
Prior work suggests that using non-firm spokespeople, compared to firm spokespeople, is likely to increase the persuasiveness of advertising. We hypothesize that comparison type can moderate this effect, such that non-firm spokespeople are more persuasive in case of factual comparisons, but this effect is attenuated in case of evaluative comparisons.
