Attention: Novelty
Schema discrepancy:
When the contents of a marketing communication message are
different from generally expected beliefs, attitudes and/or
behaviours, then they are likely to be perceived as incongruent,
followed by feelings of surprise.
Alden et al. (2000): TV advertisement may first depict a
generally familiar situation to consumers (e.g. people drinking
beer in a pub) and then show an unusual event (such as the
slamming of the door by a stranger). This increases the effect of
incongruity on surprise and thereby gains consumer attention.

Attention Generates Perception
occurs when stimuli are registered by one
of our five senses: vision, hearing, taste,
smell, and touch.
Perceiving
Through:
Illustration
Vision
Use of colour/product/logo designs is important
Sound
Music soundtracks to TV advertisements can affect how the advertising
message itself is interpreted; Use of fast music in-store to speed up the
momentum of shopping; Pleasant music likely to arouse positive
emotions.
Touch
Not well researched, but North Europeans not as tactile as South
Europeans (important for face to face sales); Consumers like to touch
fabrics (fabric swatches in fashion catalogues) and this can create
problems for on-line marketers
Taste
Blind tests show importance of brand image
Smell
Aroma (synthetic or real) of bread baking in store to suggest the bread is
really fresh; Palm trees in travel agents to conjure up nostalgic memories
of holidays in warm climates
