Prepared by J. Scott Armstrong (details on him at jscottarmstrong.com). Please inform Scott about errors and also make suggestions (armstrong@wharton.upenn.edu) Scott has taken these slides from adprin.com, a site that he founded.

(1) Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox 94% machine? ______ (2) Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use 93% the Xerox machine because I am in a rush? ______ (3) Excuse me, I have five pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make copies? 60%
Application to advertising:
Provide a reason, whether it is a reason for the price or a motivation for the purchase, for higher recall.
(1) Excuse me, I have 20 pages. May I use the Xerox machine? 42% ______ (2) Excuse me, I have 20 pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I am in a rush? 24% ______ (3) Excuse me, I have 20 pages. May I use the Xerox machine because I have to make copies? 24%
Application to advertising: For high-involvement products, the reason should be strong. For low-involvement decisions, subjects do not think carefully about the reason.

Evidence
For 37 pairs of print ads in which one ad offered a relevant reason to buy the product while the other ad offered no reason, print ads with a reason why had about twice as much recall.
For example, a Polaroid camera ad claiming that the cameras tiny flatter flash helps prevent a harsh flash look, had better recall than another Polaroid ad that provided no reason.

Based on this exercise, write a small application step for yourself, and set a deadline, preferably within one week. If you are working with someone else, share your application plan and the results of your application. For example, make a list of reasons for people to use your services and use only the strong ones in your advertising.
