Relatedness Vs. Similarity: the Role of Response Set Effects in Competitive Advertising
Past research on competitive advertising has generally focused on interference among similar stimuli and its subsequent negative effects on recall and attitude. Using response set theory, we propose that learning can actually be facilitated when consumers identify implicit categorical relations between competing ads. Specifically, we showed that ads containing related (vs. similar) product claims indeed produced better overall recall. Collectively, these results suggest the effectiveness of implicit retrieval cues in enhancing overall recall. Theoretical and managerial implications, along with directions for future research, conclude this paper.
