Description
Summary:This paper compares the effect of high, medium and low levels of historical nostalgic reactions in consumers exposed to a historical nostalgic advert on cognitive, attitudinal, and purchase intension reactions. These important consumer reactions are found to be effected in some way due to the change in historical nostalgia intensity.
