The purpose of this study is to find out how it influences on the attitude toward
advertisements, brands, and buying intention according to the type of advertising(nostalgic and
materialistic ad) and the level of product price (expensive and reasonable brand). Randomly
collected one hundred twenty women older than forty-year-old living in Seoul were allotted to
each experimental condition. As a result nostalgic ads brought higher appraisement
in the brand attitude compared to
materialistic ones. When it comes to the price, there was a meaningful difference in brand
attitude and buying intention. In other words, reasonable price turned
out to bring more a
favorable appraisement in brand attitude and buying intention. Nostalgic advertisement and reasonable price showed a bigger impact on buying intention.
Also, it was more meaningful on brand attitude and buying intention
when the price was
reasonable, which was consistent through this study.
The reason that the result was different from existing studies was because the expectation
from the price of the product was not made since the participants were mostly
housewives in
their forties.
