ABSTRACT The use of evidence in bolstering message believability has been shown in the literature. However, more work is needed to understand the effect of evidence in the monetary donation context for nonprofit organizations. This paper aims to partially close the knowledge gap in this area by (i) comparing the effectiveness of statistical and narrative donation messages on message believability, (ii) investigating the moderating effect of abstract and concrete mindset on the relationship between message type and believability, and (iii) analyzing the resulting effect on subsequent donation intentions. Our findings show that there is no difference in the effect of statistical versus narrative messages on message believability when the recipient of the message is in abstract mindset. However, when the recipient is in concrete mindset, statistical messages lead to stronger believability perceptions. Furthermore, higher believability is found to increase individual monetary donation intentions.

ABSTRACT Many traditional forms of advertising are losing ground to alternative media. Such a trend represents opportunities for the promotional products medium. However, the effectiveness of promotional products in comparison to other advertising alternatives has not been widely empirically tested. This experiment examines responses to advertising media by employing two sets of seven randomly assigned conditions at two major U.S. universities. The findings revealed statistically significant effective improvements in contrast to television advertising when promotional products were used in credibility perceptions, attitudes towards the advertisement and the product, and behavioural intents such as purchasing intent and referral intent. Additionally, positive effects were observed when promotional products were used in conjunction with television and print advertising compared with television and print advertising alone. Future directions for research are recommended.

This issue publishes five papers with a wide range of contributors from the USA, Australia, Poland, New Zealand and Japan. The abstracts summarise the paper contents well in subjects ranging from mobile payments, podcast effects, country tourism advertising, to nonprofit donation requests, and how promotional products enhance ad impact. We are now approaching 2025 and almost a quarter century has passed by since the inauguration of the new millenium. In that short time period, we have witnessed huge expansion and accelerating diversity in all media forms and promotional opportunities. Not all of these are digital or even online. Yes, digital is important and has taken its rightful place in the pantheon of media choices. But, digital does not stand alone . . . and nor will it for the foreseeable future! The whole range of traditional media and promotional options are still operational, valuable and usable. One form does not supersede or dominate the other. At least, not yet. Hence, to our authors and contributors, we welcome papers drawing on every diverse digital and traditional modus operandi and the necessary interactions between them in developing, implementing and evaluating marketing and corporate communications campaigns and strategies. Hence, critical papers addressing the interactions between traditional and digital would be welcome. It would be also great to see critical papers addressing the many consumer issues evident in today’s media-saturated societies. For example:
