Men More Difficult to Persuade with Advertising than Women

In a study of 292 television copy tests that accounted for about 200,000 respondents, Comscore uncovered a finding that men may, in fact, be more difficult to persuade through advertising messages than women.

This study, which spanned 65 brands and 46 categories of mutual interest between men and women, shows that Share of Choice – a measure that behaviorally identifies consumer preference by weighing the actual choices consumers make in a balanced competitive environment – is significantly higher among women in comparison to men. Related recall scores remain relatively equal between the two respondent groups.
This gem is a preliminary excerpt of data from a Comscore study on Trends in Advertising among Millennials. Look for the full study in late Summer 2011.
