The present study aims to analyze the effect of different advertising arguments on purchase intent and brand value based on local food consumers in supermarkets and restaurants. For this purpose, an intra-subject and between-subjects experiment will be conducted with local food consumers through an online questionnaire. The type of advertising argument - encompassing environmental benefit, socioeconomic benefit, or product attributes (e.g., flavor and freshness) - employed in the advertising campaign, and the type of retail (supermarket and restaurant) will be the manipulated independent variables. Brand value metrics (awareness, image, quality, loyalty, and exclusivity) and purchase intent will be the dependent variables. Multivariate techniques will be employed to analyze the results. This research may contribute to advancements in the studies of local food consumption, a topic that is still relatively underexplored in Brazil.
