Attitudes Toward Comparative Advertising in Thailand: the Moderating Role of Product Category Types
While comparative advertising has been widely used in the US, it is uncommon in several other countries. This study attempts to examine the attitudes toward comparative advertising in Thailand, a country where comparative advertising has been rarely used. In addition, this study also seeks to investigate the moderating role of product category types (utilitarian vs. hedonic). Overall, the results from an experimental study demonstrated that comparative ads elicited more favorable ad attitudes than noncomparative ads for utilitarian products but not for hedonic products. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications are provided and avenues for future research are suggested.
