Search engine advertising for organic food: The effectiveness of information concreteness on advertising performance

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to explore the effects of information concreteness (i.e., abstract and concrete information) on the performance of search engine advertising for organic food. We test our conceptual framework in one field experiment conducted by an organic food company. Both the model-free evidence and empirical model results show that the effects of abstract and concrete information in advertising for organic food depend on the specificity of search keywords.Specifically, when consumers are sear… Show more

“…In the marketing literature, several authors have found abstract content to have a greater effect on consumer responses under certain conditions. Yang, Li, Tao and Li (2018) presented empirical evidence on the greater effectiveness of abstract content in search engine advertising when consumers are searching for generic keywords. De Angelis et al ( 2017) showed how users' recommendations are more effective in terms of attitude and purchase intention toward a service when the language is abstract, particularly if the consumer has already some knowledge about the service.…”

“…Search engines are used by consumers to locate and access various online sources of information, with daily search volumes increasing to 3.5 billion per day (Internet Live Stats, 2019). Researchers are looking at the response of users to paid search results, organic search results and their choices, trying to understand the whole information research process and decision within it (Agarwal et al, 2015;Kritzinger, Weideman, 2013;Kritzinger, Weideman, 2017;Park, Agarwal, 2018;Smith, 2016;Yang et al, 2018).…”

“…Moreover, vivid and concrete information results in vivid and concrete images. Vividness means the clarity and liveliness of visual images (Trendel et al, 2018), and concreteness refers to the extent of ease or difficulty involved in eliciting mental images, as well as the detail and specificity of visual images (Mackenzie, 1986;Yang et al, 2018;Yoo and Kim, 2014). Vividness and concreteness directly influence mental imagery (Walters et al, 2007;Yoo and Kim, 2014).…”
