| Abstract |
| The purpose of this study is to present creative strategy enhancement methods and effective communication framework by evaluating how exaggeration in advertising effects advertising communications at different levels of product involvement of the consumers. Through pre-test, realistic and exaggerated visuals along with realistic and exaggerated text were selected to make 4 types of test ads. The variables measured in the research were product involvement, advertisement exaggeration and advertisement effect. Advertising communication effect was measured in cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses.
As results, realistic ads are proven more effective than exaggerated ones, and advertising effect for exaggerated ads is greater with visual exaggerations. However, when exaggerated visuals are combined with exaggerated texts, advertising effects can be seriously declined. Therefore, in order to reflect these findings in creative development strategy, visual exaggeration should be actively utilized whereas the text should be restricted to convey realistic messages. Advertisers of low involvement products are encouraged to make best out of exaggerated visuals for better advertising communications effects. |
