Cette campagne pourrait changer l\u2019attitude des 21 \u00e0 35 ans selon laquelle les rencontres sociales en ligne ne sont pas destin\u00e9es \u00e0 ceux qui \u00ab abandonnent \u00bb les rencontres traditionnelles, mais \u00e0 ceux qui veulent arr\u00eater de perdre leur temps \u00e0 chercher aux mauvais endroits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La publicit\u00e9 devrait \u00eatre positive et optimiste lorsque l&#039;acteur utilise eHarmony pour prendre au s\u00e9rieux ses fr\u00e9quentations, mais elle devrait \u00e9galement v\u00e9hiculer un sentiment de raret\u00e9 et un appel \u00e0 l&#039;action. Cette forme de publicit\u00e9 \u00ab ambitieuse \u00bb pourrait \u00e9ventuellement amener les \u00ab r\u00e9cepteurs \u00bb \u00e0 \u00e9valuer leurs propres exp\u00e9riences de rencontres et \u00e0 toucher une corde sensible aupr\u00e8s de ceux qui restent \u00e0 la maison sans rendez-vous pour le week-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These advertisements would target both males and females to achieve a balanced number of sign-ups. Specifically, eHarmony\u2019s campaign could target MTV, Lifetime, VH1, ESPN, and also after key network shows like ABC\u2019s Lost, which is geared towards this age segment. Because several of these channels are gender-specific, there could be two versions of the commercial, with either a female source or male source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La t\u00e9l\u00e9vision est un moyen puissant de changer les attitudes de ce segment de jeunes, car elle cible les individus qui sont assis \u00e0 la maison sur leur canap\u00e9. Il est possible que parce qu\u2019ils sont \u00e0 la maison en train de regarder la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision, ils se sentent seuls. Lorsqu&#039;ils sont \u00ab pr\u00e9par\u00e9s \u00bb par cette publicit\u00e9 et un appel \u00e0 l&#039;action, ils peuvent \u00eatre persuad\u00e9s de rejoindre ce service pour att\u00e9nuer leur anxi\u00e9t\u00e9, leur solitude ou leur sentiment de perdre leur temps. Deuxi\u00e8mement, les jeunes sont de grands t\u00e9l\u00e9spectateurs ; Ceci est confirm\u00e9 en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral par le grand nombre de publicit\u00e9s destin\u00e9es \u00e0 cette tranche d&#039;\u00e2ge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, television would allow eHarmony to achieve its particular marketing objectives. eHarmony brands itself to consumers as the premier and most scientific online dating service. Its sleek and upbeat television ads convey a professional message unlike other seedy online advertising for online dating. This helps to differentiate it from other brands and adds value to its brand, which helps to attract the right candidates for its service. Other unconventional forms of advertising like M-commerce could even be detrimental towards this strategically \u201cexclusive\u201d brand given the newness of the medium and consumers\u2019 perceptions about this service category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quatri\u00e8mement, la publicit\u00e9 t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9e sur les cha\u00eenes cibles pourrait permettre aux acteurs de mettre en sc\u00e8ne le message exact \u00e0 travers le langage corporel, plut\u00f4t que de le transmettre simplement par le biais de textes ou d&#039;images dans des magazines ou dans des publicit\u00e9s en ligne. \u00c0 cet \u00e9gard, le message de raret\u00e9 des partenaires, le consensus entre les acteurs de la publicit\u00e9 et les r\u00e9actions \u00e9motionnelles et comportementales positives \u00e0 l&#039;amour trouv\u00e9 sur eHarmony peuvent \u00eatre repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s visuellement et indirectement aux t\u00e9l\u00e9spectateurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Source publicitaire potentielle<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deux caract\u00e9ristiques peuvent \u00eatre prises en compte dans le choix de la source de la publicit\u00e9. Premi\u00e8rement, le communicateur devrait \u00eatre cr\u00e9dible. De cette mani\u00e8re, eHarmony aurait un membre plus jeune du m\u00eame segment d&#039;\u00e2ge, ce qui renforcerait sa cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 en raison de son \u00e2ge. L&#039;acteur parlera au sens figur\u00e9 la langue du r\u00e9cepteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the commercials would maintain at the end of them the comments of the founder, who himself has a Phd degree. This would also contain authoritative persuasive effects and positive associations, which might help to limit knowledge bias. To prevent reporting bias, eHarmony could contract out with two actors so that they do not endorse other products, which could compromise the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, in the two versions of the ad with either a male or female source, the communicator may also be physically attractive. This is because, according to the Halo effect, the receiver will relate the service with feelings towards the attractive source. Importantly, this attractiveness is highly relevant to the service given that online dating is largely about physical and emotional attraction. Hence, this attractive source would help quickly build trust in the service given the relevance of attraction to the service offering. This source would also help receivers to envisage the quality of subscribers and what kind of mate people can find on eHarmony. Ultimately, this attractive source in each ad could help in ensuring receivers process the message and change their potentially reluctant attitudes on online dating.<br><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><br>Mod\u00e8le de vraisemblance d\u2019\u00e9laboration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One message that could work with the central route is a source giving a message to receivers about the scarcity of one\u2019s mate and how receivers are wasting their time with traditional dating practices. Essentially, the message warns about wasting time with traditional dating and watching television alone, missing out on life. The receiver would then proceed with high involvement processes eliciting cognitive responses that either agree or disagree with the message. Thus, a receiver might think about a recent bad dating experience and agree. The receiver who agrees with the message will likely comply with the ad\u2019s message, resulting in belief and attitude change followed by a behavior change. They might try the free personality prerequisite test and begin their subscriptions to the service. On the other hand, a receiver might strongly disagree with the message given their own positive experiences in the past, and they may provide cogent reasoning as to why the message is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, a message following the peripheral route concerns the attractiveness of the source or the visual depiction of finding an attractive mate quickly. In this respect, the message would require low-involvement processing, and receivers would grasp that they could find an attractive mate on this site through a professional matchmaking method. This would cause belief change about online dating services and, in particular, eHarmony.com. This could cause a change in behavior by getting the receiver to sign up and cause others to sign up through word-of-mouth buzz. Once this happens the receiver may change his or her opinion on this type of service and specifically build positive perceptions about eHarmony.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>eHarmony.com propose un service de rencontres en ligne qui met en relation des hommes et des femmes dans l\u2019espoir de cr\u00e9er des relations amoureuses.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":64778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[290],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-consumer","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12013"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12013\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69148,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12013\/revisions\/69148"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64778"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sisinternational.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
