Sad Face Sells in Cause-Related Marketing? the Right Formula Based on Emotional Expression, Consumption Context and Consumer Differences in Implicit Self-Theories

We find that showing a sad emotion works for entity theorists in utilitarian consumption or incremental theorists in hedonic consumption. A happy emotion is advantageous for incremental theorists in hedonic consumption or entity theorists in utilitarian consumption.
