Consumer attribution is one significant field where many research studies have already been conducted in terms of analysing the entire process and defining the core concept. In simple terms, it is the process by which the consumers associate some attributes to a product that induces them for purchase in the future. In the words of Abed Abusaleh(Haire, 2016b), it is defined as the process by which the responses are associated to the relevant sources irrespective of its channel. Peter Koeppel summarizes it as the ultimate sum of money that is earned from every dollar being invested(Haire, 2016b). Although in (Haire, 2016a), Thomas Haire says that attribution is a mechanism wherein a marketer can add more value to the sales campaigns and the continuing customer interactions by looking at it from the customer’s viewpoint.

It affects the outlook of the consumers mainly in two different measures. Firstly, a manufacturer is targeted more stringently for having higher visibility in the mind of the consumers. Due to this, a more visible manufacturer may draw in more blame as compared to another less-known manufacturer as stated by the Primacy Rule of consumers accepting the first competent justification of a crisis (Kelley and Michela 1980). On the other hand, having a better brand visibility may provide a better defence for a manufacturer by exhibiting a more desirable brand image. And due to this, the retailer is more likely to be blamed for a possible product failure due to the exploitation of the visibility factor and whereby the wholesaler projects a better brand image. These are the two sets of competing hypotheses that was developed regarding the effects of brand visibility. The first being the predominance of the quality-inference rule and the second being the endorsement of the salience rule(Wanru Su and Tippins,
If a brand has a good reputation, customers and businesses, are more likely to purchase that brand. Examples include logos and packaging. (B2B and B2C Similarities and Differences , n.d.) These need to capture the attention of their customers because businesses have competition and therefore need to stand out.
The attribution theory is a theory that proposes that people attempt to understand the behaviour of others by associating it with either situational (external) or dispositional (internal) factors. While this an interesting and popular theory, it has been discovered that when attributing behaviour, we often make errors, as we are more biased and judgemental than we would like to think. The two attribution errors that I will bring up in this essay are The Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) and the Self-Serving Bias (SSB). The Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) implies that when we observe the behaviour of others, we tend to over-attribute their behaviour to dispositional factors and underestimate the influence that situational factors may have had.

Indeed people prefer to buy branded products from non-branded products, also whit an increased price. Gladwell in the chapter 4th of his book explain the example of L’Oreal, an expensive but fashionable product. It give to the company a big profit. indeed Ilon Specht in one of his most famous thoughts says: “ I use the most expensive hair color in the world, but I don’t mind spending more for L’Oreal, because I’m worth it”(Gladwell pag. 98). This sentence was used to underline the importance and the quality of that particular brand.
That is because these brands are likely to receive greater ‘interest and attention. Thus, repeated exposure to the brand name, enhances ethos by creating familiarity, which in turn persuades us into buying the product out of common preference. As mentioned previously, contrast is used to draw the attention of the viewer towards the imagery of the

ALDI supermarkets, a well-known retailer in business, focused on retaining and gaining customer’s loyalty on those who were already familiar with the ALDI brand. ALDI’s main objective is getting its message across which is offering the best quality products at the lowest price possible. One of ALDI’s marketing strategies is the ‘Like brands’ by which ALDI created high quality products similar to those products of a well-known brand and competitors, but with a lower price. ALDI created blind tastes of these ‘like brands’ where people can taste ALDI’s brands and the national brand to see if they can make a
Targeted Advertising: Helpful or Hurtful? Technology has challenged the rules of privacy, and people are questioning if privacy is a necessity anymore. Technology, specifically apple products such as iPhones, is a need in many people’s lives, and they cannot imagine not being able to check their phones for the weather or to ask Siri to find the closest restaurant. Unfortunately, people do not realize companies use technology for targeted advertising, which is an invasion of privacy. An invasion of privacy is when people’s private information is used to influence them and is given to other people or companies unknowingly.

Therefore, attribution is an important component of human cognitive process, as well as an important influence on the formation of self-concepts. Psychological research into attribution began with the work of Heider(1958) in the early part of the 20th century, subsequently developed by others such as Jones(1965), Davis(1965), Kelley(1967) and Weiner(1974). 2.1.1 The Attribution Theory Heider (1958) put forward the Attribution Theory in the book The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations, which pioneered the modern field of social cognition. As one part of the larger and more complex Heiderian account of social

Introduction “The term ‘misleading advertisements, is an unlawful action taken by an advertiser, producer, dealer or manufacturer of a specific good or service to erroneously promote their product. Misleading advertising targets to convince customers into buying a product through the conveyance of deceiving or misleading articulations and statements. Misleading advertising is regarded as illegal in the United States and many other countries because the customer is given the indisputable and natural right to be aware and know of what product or service they are buying. As an outcome of this privilege, the consumer base is honored ‘truth in labeling’, which is an exact and reasonable conveyance of essential data to a forthcoming customer.”
Introduction At the start of this course, I had no idea what to expect. This is due to the fact that marketing is a field that offers a combination of so many different disciplines such as art, psychology, and statistics. I encounter marketing on a daily basis but have strangely enough not reflected too much about it. Nevertheless, it is a very interesting subject, which deals with promoting and selling services and products.
