  • Happier Holidays Ahead for Mattel Through New Doors, Toys and Home Entertainment
    August 17, 2009 HAPPIER HOLIDAYS AHEAD FOR MATTEL THROUGH NEW DOORS, TOYS AND HOME ENTERTAINMENT By David Franklin, [email protected] 415.364.3780 OUR STARTING THESIS AND APPROACH FOR THE MATTEL PROJECT This week, Blueshift Research initiated research on Mattel Inc. (MAT). The original thesis questions whether Mattel can strengthen its brand while maintaining toy sellers’ support and under the guidance of the new general Barbie franchise manager, who is leading the doll line through a makeover. This study employed Blueshift’s pattern mining approach to establish contacts within five independent silos to assess the likelihood for sales growth. The silos: 1) store clerks and managers, 2) toy industry experts, 3) secondary sources, 4) competitors and 5) consumers. We interviewed 15 primary sources and reviewed more than seven secondary sources. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Five of six retailers interviewed expect overall holiday toy sales to exceed last year’s levels. Two retailers said Mattel will benefit from new and creative Barbie end-cap displays, a Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 TV series tie-in agreement and Avatar action figures scheduled to be released in October. Toy experts were split on their expectations for overall toy sales for the 2H09. One forecast flat sales, while the other expects a year-to-year increase. An industrywide price hike of 5% to 6% will help propel sales ahead of last year. Mattel implemented a modest price increase on its spring line of toys and a mid- to high single-digit hike on June 1. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) is cutting shelf space for toys and crafts.

  • A Model for Customization Reducing Reactance to Persuasive Messages
    The Impact of Source and Message Customization on Reactance: A Model for Customization Reducing Reactance to Persuasive Messages DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael D. Hanus, M.A. Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Jesse Fox, Advisor Brad Bushman Nancy Rhodes Emily Moyer-Gusé Copyrighted by Michael David Hanus 2016 Abstract As consumers are becoming increasingly jaded toward traditional advertising methods, creators of persuasive messages are turning to new ways to make their appeals. Interactive technology allows the means to give users control over the persuasive message, message source, or product. When users are given control, a host of psychological benefits work in tandem to reduce resistance to being persuaded and ultimately increase favorable attitudes towards the advertised product. These studies assess the means by which customizing a persuasive source or message can change attitudes towards an advertised product. Using the theory of interactive media effects (TIME) and the entertainment overcoming resistance model (EORM) as theoretical foundations, an explanatory model, the customization reactance reduction model (CRRM), was created to assess the role of customization in reducing resistance to persuasive appeals. Three studies were conducted to establish the means by which allowing users to customize can improve their attitudes toward a product and to give support for the CRRM. Study 1 allowed users to create the avatar for a salesperson who would give them a persuasive pitch in a virtual environment. These users liked the product in the pitch better than those who could only watch an avatar customization video and had no direct control over the source’s appearance.
