Title: | Cultural superstitions and the price endings used in Chinese advertising | Authors: | Simmons, Lee C. Schindler, Robert M. |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Business | Issue Date: | 2003 | Source: | Simmons, L. C., & Schindler, R. M. (2003). Cultural superstitions and the price endings used in Chinese advertising. Journal of international marketing, 11(2), 101-111. | Series/Report no.: | Journal of international marketing | Abstract: | In traditional Chinese superstition, the numerical digit 8 is associated with prosperity and good luck and the digit 4 is associated with death. An examination of the price endings used in a sample of Chinese price advertisements indicates a distinct tendency to favor the digit 8 and to avoid the digit 4. These results constitute evidence of the role of superstition in the Chinese marketplace and provide guidance for setting prices in this increasingly important market. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/100757 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/16228 |
