What is meant by the term "affect"? What are three distinct ways marketers can use affect?
Affect refers to the experience of emotionally-laden states,which can range from evaluations,to moods,to full-blown emotions.
Marketers use affective states in many ways.First,positive moods and emotions are often highlighted as a product benefit.Take,for example,Viagra's marketing campaign that uses humor and music to convey the positive affective quality of the product.Certainly,some product categories such as fragrances,alcohol,tobacco,and caffeinated beverages are consumed for their mood-altering qualities.
Marketers will also sometimes highlight the avoidance of negative affect as a product attribute.Take for example,lottery corporations that ask consumers to consider how they would feel if they hadn't played the extra bonus draw.
Another way negative moods are sometimes utilized is by activating a negative mood on the part of the consumer (for example,by showing a picture of starving children in Africa)and then giving the consumer a means by which to make him or herself feel better (by donating to the cause).Helping others as a means of resolving one's own negative moods has been referred to as negative state relief.One other way consumers can repair negative moods is by purchasing and consuming mood-enhancing products such as chocolate.
