How Does Brand Warmth Influence Consumer Responses to Scarcity Appeals? the Role of Perceived Good Intentions
Marketers commonly use scarcity appeals (e.g., “only 10 available”) in advertisements. The authors examine the role of brand warmth in consumer responses to brands using scarcity appeals. Four studies demonstrate that high-warmth (vs. low-warmth) brands, due to their well-intentioned nature, are evaluated more favorably when they use scarcity appeals.
