Abstract

Advertisements Consumer behavior Music Prices Studies
In this paper we examine how characteristics of the music accompanying an advertisement impact consumers' liking of a product price contained in that advertisement. In the context of four studies, we find that consumers prefer prices that correspond to: a) meter or time signature, and b) tonal pitch pattern (melody).
