What to Get and What to Give Up: Effectiveness of Promotion Vs. Prevention Messages in Acquisition Vs. Forfeiture Decision Tasks
We show across three studies that promotion- versus prevention-focused messages are superior in acquisition decisions, but only in the case of hedonic products and when imagery-based processing is dominant. However, prevention-focused messages are relatively more effective in forfeiture decisions, provided the ads deal with utilitarian products and processing is analytical.
