Increasing Consumption of Larger Product Sizes Through Symbolic Congruity: Size Label Color and Product Temperature
Four experiments reveal that matching size label color and product temperature cues lead to higher arousal, which increases willingness-to-pay for and larger selected sizes of products; this effect is moderated by air temperature, with cooler (warmer) air temperatures increasing (decreasing) desired size of a product through increased (decreased) arousal.
