Brand Personality Instrument Qualtrics

Assignment5 – Brand Personality Instrument (Qualtrics)

Product anthromorphism is defined as “attributing human characteristics to something that is not human.” Marketers encourage this practice by using humanized spokes-characters’ personalities. Few examples of these “personalities” are included in the following table.

Spokes-Characters	Brand
Keebler Elf	Keebler Cookie
M&M’s People	M&M’s
Ronald	McDonald’s
Silly Rabbit	Trix
Mr. Peanut	Planters
Pillsbury Dough Boy	Pillsbury
Lucky Charms Leprechaun	Lucky Charms
Kool-Aid Man	Kool-Aid
Toucan Sam	Froot Loops
Aunt Jemima	Aunt Jemima
Elsie the Cow	Borden
Jolly Green Giant	Jolly Green Giant
Chihuahua	Taco Bell
Chester the Cheetah	Cheetos
Wendy	Wendy’s
The Cow	Chick-fil-a
Tony the Tiger	Frosted Flakes

Previous scholarly research has examined the likability and role of spokes-characters in advertising campaigns and brands (e.g., Callcott & Phillips, 1996; Garretson & Burton, 2005; Garretson & Niedrich, 2004). However, limited attention has been given to the relationship between humanized spokes-characters and key brand constructs (e.g. awareness, trust, loyalty).

Your problem is how to measure the impact of humanized spokes-characters on brand awareness, brand trust and brand loyalty. (See the scales below). You must assume your sample is composed of young consumers.

Develop a questionnaire to administer a survey using Qualtrics. (Do not collect data).

• Include survey instructions.
• Prepare at least five statements using a Likert scale items (using 5 point scale).
• Prepare at least five semantic differential items.
• Prepare at least two rank-order scales items.
• Prepare at least two behavior intention scale items to measure the likelihood that consumers will act in the expected way.
• Include relevant demographic questions at the end of the survey.

Format

• Be precise, concise and to the point.
• The anonymous link to your survey should be submitted via Blackboard-Assignments/Projects tab.
