It Feels Good and Bad to Be Fake: the Effect of Counterfeit Consumption on Consumer Feelings and Purchase Preference

These mixed feelings in turn reduce the appeal of counterfeits relative to genuine products. Accordingly, ads that highlight counterfeit consumption experience in the present of others effectively reduce consumers’ counterfeit demand.
