在現今廣告行銷活動中,運用虛擬角色進行「角色行銷」已成為行銷的熱潮,廣告業者不僅僅將這些虛擬角色應用在產品包裝上,更運用其在傳播媒體上主動為其品牌及產品代言,發現能夠發揮不亞於真實人物的廣告說服力。此外根據許多學者指出,虛擬代言人的廣告說服效果同樣會受到其它外在因素的影響與干擾,例如:虛擬代言人與品牌之間的契合程度、企業本身的可信程度等。 本研究的目的在於探討虛擬代言人可信度對廣告效果的影響,並檢測虛擬代言人與品牌之間的契合程度及企業可信度是否會對虛擬代言人可信度與廣告效果之間的關係產生干擾作用。本研究以曾經到過7-ELEVEN消費的顧客群為樣本,共回收了398分有效問卷,並採用階層迴歸分析來進行實證研究。研究結果發現: (1)虛擬代言人可信度、虛擬代言人與品牌之間的契合程度、企業可信度皆對廣告效果有正向顯著影響。(2)當消費者知覺到虛擬代言人與品牌之間的契合程度越高時,虛擬代言人可信度對廣告效果的正向關係將會變得更高。(3)當消費者知覺到企業本身的可信度越高時,虛擬代言人可信度對廣告效果的正向關係將會變得更高。藉由上述分析結果提供業界進行「角色行銷」策略之參考。
