The effect of geographic indication in advertising background pictures on product evaluation: The moderating role of familiarity

초록

This study investigates whether geographic indications in the backgrounds of advertising pictures might affect the viewer's evaluation of a product. The findings reveal that participants in the proximal geographic indication evaluated the product more favourably than those in the distal geographic indication when they were exposed to feasibility-related information. By contrast, participants in the distal geographic indication evaluated the product more favourably than those in the proximal geographic indication when they were exposed to desirability-related information. However, familiarity with geographic indications eliminated this effect.
