11B Where to Place Green Products? Using “Up-Powerful” Metaphor to Promote Perceived Green Product Effectiveness

Building on the conceptual metaphor literature linking verticality and power (i.e., up=powerfulness), we show that vertical shelf layout can be used to influence consumer perceptions of product strength, leading to greater purchase intentions.
