involved consumers and they are particular about the
toothpaste they are using
44% of the consumers (11 out of 25) brush twice a day which
shows a moderate involvement
40% of the consumers (2 out of 5) who had oral health
changed their toothpaste and remaining 60% did not which
shows that those 60% consumers are low involved
12% of the consumers (3 out of 25) visited the dentist once in
every 6 months, these changed their toothpaste when
recommended by the dentist, proving that the 3 consumers are
highly involved

Brand attitude affected by low category


involvement

Low involvement consumers are the ones who buy the products as a mere routine
and they are not concerned with the functional benefits of the brand
As per the exhibit 6,the percentage of customers who have both strong cognitive
and affective beliefs are greatly influenced by the brand advertisements
Advertisements play major role in the development of attitude towards a brand
because if the advertisement does not connect and communicate the message
properly ,the consumers can develop a negative brand attitude
The instances where brand attitude overwhelms category involvement for Oral
Care is shown below and similarly it can be located for the other categories also
