Summary of research paper 6

Kochhar, et.al. [2019] has discussed about the Psychological Impact of a Brand Mascot in Customer’s
Purchase Decision.

The research explores the effectiveness of brand mascots in advertising and their influence on
consumer behavior and purchase decisions. It aims to assess the contemporary use of
animated mascots to sway buyer choices and reduce advertising costs. Through a
combination of primary data collection via a structured questionnaire and secondary data
analysis of ad campaigns and research papers, the study delves into the psychological impact
of mascots on consumer decision-making.

Key objectives include recognizing the impact of brand mascots on purchase decisions,
understanding their acceptance in promotion, and comparing their influence to brand
ambassadors. The study emphasizes the role of mascots in building emotional bonds with
consumers, especially among children, and highlights their cost-effectiveness and longevity
compared to celebrity endorsers.

Findings suggest that brand mascots positively influence consumer purchase decisions, with
participants acknowledging their role in shaping buying behavior. The discussion underscores
the advantages of using mascots over brand ambassadors, citing cost-effectiveness and
reliability as key factors.

Overall, the research provides valuable insights into the significance of brand mascots in
advertising and their ability to influence consumer preferences and behaviors, offering
practical implications for marketers and advertisers.
