Young Thai and Uk Consumers' Experiences of Television Product ASSOCIATION FOR CONSUMER RESEARCH Labovitz School of Business & Economics, University of Minnesota Duluth, 11 E.

It sets this within first-hand practitioner accounts of current practice in each country which show that product placement is a booming industry operating within relatively ill-defined regulatory parameters, resulting in some illicit practices. The consumer data were interpreted through three pre-eminent themes: engagement, resistance and objectification. Within a prevalent mood of acquiescence there was some evidence that Thai consumers exhibit ‘Generation Y’ resistance to incongruent placement practices. This limited resistance occurred within a general mood of acquiescence to, engagement with and reflexive understanding of, product placement practices.

  • Product Placement Effects on Store Sales
    Product Placement Effects on Store Sales: Evidence from Consumer Packaged Goods∗ Simha Mummalaneni † Yantao Wang ‡ Pradeep K. Chintagunta § Sanjay K. Dhar ¶ February 21, 2019 Abstract Product placement provides an alternative way for brands to reach consumers and does so in a more subtle way than through traditional advertising. We use data from both traditional television advertising and product placement on television shows to compare how these marketing instruments affect consumer demand for brands in the soda, diet soda, and coffee categories. Our approach is to estimate a logit demand model using weekly store-level sales data at the UPC (product) level, while accounting for heterogeneity in consumer preferences and response parameters across markets. Estimates from this model indicate that product placement is generally effective, but that the elasticities are small. For the soda and diet soda categories, average short-term elasticities are around 0.08 for the major brands in the data; these estimated elasticities for product placement are generally larger than those for traditional TV advertising, albeit on the same order of magnitude. For the coffee category, product placement elasticities are roughly zero while the advertising elasticities are larger. The results suggest that product placement is overall more effective than traditional TV advertising for the brands in our data; however, there is a significant amount of heterogeneity in elasticities across categories, brands, and geographical areas. Keywords: Product Placement, Advertising, Media, Demand Estimation ∗We thank Günter Hitsch for initiating this project with us. We also thank Brad Shapiro and seminar participants at the 2018 UW-UBC marketing camp, the 2018 Marketing Science conference, Johns Hopkins University, the FTC Bureau of Economics, and the 2019 University of Washington winter marketing camp for their thoughtful comments and suggestions.

Baby Boomers’ Attitudes Towards Product Placements By Nicole M. Schmoll, John Hafer, Michael Hilt, and Hugh Reilly Abstract: Including branded products within mass media programming is becoming common. Previous research has focused almost entirely on college-age students' attitudes about placements in movies and television. This research focuses on Baby Boomers and is the first to include questions about multiple media in forming attitudes towards product placements. Six hypotheses were tested. Attitude toward product placement is related to media consumption. Males appear more positive than females. Interactions effects of media consumption x gender and media consumption x age appear insignificant. Analytical results, graphs, tables and managerial implications and representative comments from respondents are presented.

  • Hidden Messages: the Growth of Product Placement
    5c Hidden Messages: The Growth of Product Placement Keeping track of who is renting our eyeballs is more diffi cult today as “stealth ads” become embedded into the content of movies, TV shows and video games. Known as product placement, it is an increasingly common practice whereby advertisers pay media makers to use or display their products as props yet never reveal this arrangement as a form of advertising. Having students locate product placements in media programs helps them understand the economics of the media they consume. Creating their own product placements for good causes reveals the strategy behind the practice. Objectives: Students will be able to… 1. Identify product placements they see in TV programs and movies. 2. Build awareness of the pervasiveness of advertising in their culture. 3. Develop critical skills necessary to think independently in a media saturated consumer society.

    Child Social Media Influencers and Unhealthy Food Product Placement Amaal Alruwaily, MPH,a Chelsea Mangold, MPH,a Tenay Greene, BA,a Josh Arshonsky, BA,a Omni Cassidy, PhD,a Jennifer L. Pomeranz, JD, MPH,b Marie Bragg, PhDa,b OBJECTIVES: We aimed to determine the frequency with which kid influencers promote branded abstract and unbranded food and drinks during their YouTube videos and assess the nutritional quality of food and drinks shown. METHODS: Researchers used Socialbakers data to identify the 5 most-watched kid influencers (ages 3 to 14 years) on YouTube in 2019. We searched for 50 of their most-watched videos and 50 of their videos that featured food and/or drinks on the thumbnail image of the video. We coded whether kid influencers consumed or played with food or toys, quantified the number of minutes food and/or drinks appeared, and recorded names of branded food and/or drinks. We assessed the nutritional quality of foods using the Nutrient Profile Model and identified the number of drinks with added sugar. RESULTS: A sample of 418 YouTube videos met the search criteria, and 179 of those videos featured food and/or drinks. Food and/or drinks were featured in those videos 291 times. Kid influencers’ YouTube videos were collectively viewed .48 billion times, and videos featuring food and/or drinks were viewed 1 billion times. Most food and/or drinks were unhealthy branded items (n = 263; 90.34%; eg, McDonald’s), followed by unhealthy unbranded items (n = 12; 4.1%; eg, hot dogs), healthy unbranded items (n = 9; 3.1%; eg, fruit), and healthy branded items (n = 7; 2.4%; eg, Yoplait yogurt).

  • Product Placement Effectiveness: Revisited and Renewed
    Journal of Management and Marketing Research Product placement effectiveness: revisited and renewed Kaylene Williams California State University, Stanislaus Alfred Petrosky California State University, Stanislaus Edward Hernandez California State University, Stanislaus Robert Page, Jr. Southern Connecticut State University ABSTRACT Product placement is the purposeful incorporation of commercial content into non- commercial settings, that is, a product plug generated via the fusion of advertising and entertainment. While product placement is riskier than conventional advertising, it is becoming a common practice to place products and brands into mainstream media including films, broadcast and cable television programs, computer and video games, blogs, music videos/DVDs, magazines, books, comics, Broadway musicals and plays, radio, Internet, and mobile phones. To reach retreating audiences, advertisers use product placements increasingly in clever, effective ways that do not cost too much. The purpose of this paper is to examine product placement in terms of definition, use, purposes of product placement, specific media vehicles, variables that impact the effectiveness of product placement, the downside of using product placement, and the ethics of product placement.
