Abstract

Marketers promoting new products online are often faced with the ubiquity of information discounting their marketing messages (e.g. critical responses). However, the counterintuitive sleeper effect posits that negative information can positively impact attitudes under certain conditions (Gruder et al. 1978). Elaborative encoding is expected to modify the sleeper effect by enhancing the persuasiveness of marketing messages accompanied by discounting cues (Mazursky and Schul 1988). The current study investigates the conditions necessary for negative information to have a positive impact on attitudes.
