2.5 Quality Perception
Consumers infer quality relying on cues ranging from brand name to price, and even advertising endeavours. In consumer research, it is known that consumers form subjective beliefs regarding the product quality based on prior knowledge, as well as cognitive competencies of each individual consumer. Thus, from a consumer perspective, quality research involves perceived quality. Hence, more specifically, perceived quality could be explained as the consumer's judgment about a product's overall excellence or superiority (Zeithaml, 1988). Commonly, consumers desire quality and value, however, these terms have abstract meanings that are difficult to pinpoint (Solomon 2011; Šredl and Soukup 2011). Usually, it is impossible

visual metaphor) on a product package has a positive impact on consumer perceptions (Hagtvedt & Patrick, 2008). Similarly, non-probative visuals, those providing no direct evidence for or against a claim, influence consumers’ evaluation of those claims (Mantonakis et al., 2014). According to Mantonakis et al. (2014), visuals might affect perception due to its association with related thoughts and images, making the information about the verbal claim (i.e. brand frame) easier to process. To illustrate, in a study by Mantonakis et al. (2014), consumers agreed to a certain claim (this wine tastes high quality) more often when wine names appeared with visuals versus without photos. Accordingly, this showed that the presence of a visual was associated with both increased quality perceptions as well as taste perceptions. In this case, the ease with which consumers could process the extrinsic product cues affected their sensory perceptions, suggesting that consumer’s ongoing processing experiences influences quality perception. Therefore, in this specific study a visual metaphor (e.g. golden coffee), which represents luxury, will be used to make the information about the verbal claim (e.g. superior blend) easier to process. Consequently, this may lead to an influence in the sensory perception resulting in an increased quality perception of the product due to the association with …show more content…
Additionally, congruence between various modalities, also known as cross-modal correspondence, positively influences overall product evaluation and ultimately improves the decision-making process (Hekkert, 2006; Spence, 2011; Parise & Spence, 2013). That is, consumers attempt to match attributes from one modality (e.g. package design (visual metaphor or brand frame)) to attributes from another modality (e.g. taste experience, quality perception). Consequently, if the modalities are perceived as cross-modal congruent, consumers’ are more intended to purchase the
Following these conclusions, I gather that I will use visual rhetoric when I am marketing my own hospitality endeavor. I will use images/visuals that correspond to my company’s mission and values.

Advertisements: Exposed When viewing advertisements, commercials, and marketing techniques in the sense of a rhetorical perspective, rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and ethos heavily influence the way society decides what products they want to purchase. By using these strategies, the advertisement portrayal based on statistics, factual evidence, and emotional involvement give a sense of need and want for that product. Advertisements also make use of social norms to display various expectations among gender roles along with providing differentiation among tasks that are deemed with femininity or masculinity. Therefore, it is of the advertisers and marketing team of that product that initially have the ideas that influence

The variety and assortment of products in today’s world is growing heavily making consumer decisions harder and harder. Thus, the need of in-store visual merchandising be-comes relevant as never before. The more choices consumers are faced with, the more time they tend to spend while making purchasing decision, and visual merchandising may help to facilitate those choices. This reflection paper is aimed at drawing understanding on how visual merchandising influence consumer behaviour and how it stimulates the purchase de-cision.
If the creator would have left out the two lines that use logos the advertisement would not have the same impact because the creator would have no proof to support his claim. Through the use of logos the designer uses evidence to support his claims while establishing credibility. The establishment of credibility by the designer is somewhat credible. The creator uses facts to support his claims, earning him some respect because he has evidence in order to sustain his advertisement.
Other than this, It also can erase all the evidence about the ship or planes very

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
Implicit Memory and Subliminal Advertising Implicit memory effects occur "when previous exposure to a stimulus (such as advertisement) influences our performance on subsequent tasks without the consumer remembering the previous experience or being aware of its influence on performance” (Fennis & Stroebe, 2016, p.72). Information processing in implicit memory is characterized as fast, parallel and effortless, as it does not need any conscious recollection of previous experiences (Chaiken & Trope, as cited in Fennis & Stroebe, 2016). Researchers have found that implicit memory for particular advertising elements tend to be more stable than explicit memory (Edell, 1993 as cited in Braun-Latour & Latour, 2004). The distinction between explicit
