    Subject Term:
    advertising, appeals (message), attitudes, buyer behavior, buying behavior, campaigns, commodity promotion, consumer attitudes, consumers, consumption, economics of information, fish, message content, promotion, and value of information
    Notes:
    Found that an advertising campaign increased/improved consumers' awareness of farm-raised catfish (15%) , attitudes toward it (3-6%) and purchases of it (12-13%). Factual content of the ads had less impact on behavior than the mere presence of the ads.
