Abstract
GIF marketing is omnipresent in today’s digital environment, but understanding of consumer responses to animated Graphics Interchange Format (GIFs) is still scarce. Although previous research shows that animation increases advertising effectiveness, its underlying psychological process remains largely unknown. Relying on scarcity and impulse buying theories, two studies investigate whether animation functions as a sensory cue that triggers a sense of urgency. We show that animated (versus static) products and ads evoke a sense of urgency, which increases anticipated regret, and consequently increases impulse buying and improves brand attitude.
