Abstract

This paper studies the influence of an advertisement's controversial element and emotional appeal on the customer intention to buy. The research paper is both exploratory and conclusive. S-O-R model was used for the study. Convenience sampling was used to draw a sample of 264 respondents. The data were tested for reliability, correlation and regression. The advertisement's controversial element and emotional appeal significantly influence the customer's intention to buy. The controversial element and the emotional appeal are positively correlated with the customer intention to buy. The research was done within a limited time and resources. The future research paper can include more moderators in the research model. The research paper provides a better understanding of the emotional appeal and the controversial element of an advertisement on customer intention to buy.
