Abstract

This article presents a framework to improve the efficiency of advertising slogans using the pronoun "it". Based on research on reference in linguistics and on the Construal Level Theory, we argue that slogans with a low (vs. high) referential pronoun "it" are more efficient when they are used in advertisements that offer abstract (vs. concrete) framings. We suggest that the effect of fit between the referentiality continuum of it and the abstraction level of advertisement enables the consumer's treatment of information to become more fluent, which then improves his/her attitudinal and behavioral answers. We also show our theoretical contributions in slogan literature and we suggest several managerial implications that match with already existing practices.
