increases the impact of advertisement on
consumer

increases the impact of commercial on
consumer
HA3: Interesting verbal communication
increases the impact of commercial on
consumer
HA4: The more the ad is culturally related with
the viewer more would be its impact on him
HA5: The personal lifestyle associations
present in the ad increases ad’s impact on the
viewer
HA6: Attractive music/song/jingle increases
viewer involvement in the ad
13. HA7: The increased involvement in
music increases impact level of
advertisement
HA8: If the commercial has a new
idea its impact on the viewer would
be more
HA9: The impact level of ad and
viewer’s previous knowledge about
the brand are related
14. Bivariate Analysis & Conclusion
The inferential statistical analysis confirms the importance of
message content promoted as it has the highest correlation
value of .525 with our dependent variable indicating strong
positive relationship with it.
.454 is the value of Pearson’s correlation between variables
music’s contribution and ad’s impact level. Thus good music
also contributes in the involvement of individual in the ad-
Pearson’s correlation value of .208 with .05 significance
makes him buy. The result demonstrates the importance of
music.
When you watch the ad some non-verbal communication by
actors also comes across. This non-verbal communication or
gestures-the body and face language also make our mind
towards the actual purchase as the correlation value of .282
with ad’s impact at .01 significance imply.
.273 is the correlation value of person’s lifestyle association
with ad’s impact with significance level of .01 establishing a
relationship revealing we like to see more of ourselves and
our life depicted in the commercial scenes which make us
buy the product also.
15. The rightful message execution is also important. The value
is .209 and level of significance .05.
The relationship tapped with chi-square: the advertisement
theme/concept and did viewer actually buy the product after
seeing the ad-the value is 15.157 with 1 degree of freedom
purporting the relationship between phenomena.
The viewer’s previous knowledge about the brand also
increases the impact of ad on him as manifested in the value
6.614 of chi-square.
The previous good feelings about the brand also affect ad’s
impact level. The chi-square value is 5.618.
The variables with no to very little relationship (not
significant) are the novelty in the ad which do not increase
the impact level on the consumer. New idea is good for
getting the attention of the viewer but it alone would not
compel a person towards buying the product.
16. Same is the case with area culture
depicted in the ad. Again it has no
relationship with person’s purchase
decision for the product specified in the ad.
We do not found any linkage with the
intensity of color utilized and fast motion of
the scenes and elements with the impact
level as well as these things are secondary
and the whole package should be
considered for promotion.
The person’s inquisitiveness for the brand
also has no effect on the impact level of ad.
