Wisely Frugal: Q4 Level of price concern
Level: Somewhat high
Question: q4
Core statement: I have tried to save money by shopping for healthcare
Response: Somewhat agree
Intrinsic Motivation: With respect to healthcare, it pays to take the time to look for lower cost providers or insurance. You don't have to just accept whatever price some doctor or health plan wants to charge.
Recommendations: Focus on the position that price and the cost of healthcare are things that have to be considered. Focus on the idea of wanting good care for the best price. Focus on the idea that any healthcare shopping does involve looking for the best deal or trying to save money. Give the impression that low cost is not necessarily a guarantee of poor quality or inferior health care.
Themes: Visual or auditory cues can show an individual with concern about health care costs. Surroundings should communicate some degree of lack of money, or the desire to not spend available dollars on healthcare over other things. A medical professional can be portrayed as saying, "The cost of healthcare means you have to shop carefully. Sometimes you have to balance quality and cost." or something of this nature. The individual should be portrayed as saying things like, "I bought the cheapest medication, and I can't complain about my results."
Further considerations: The demographic traits portrayed for the target audience should speak to someone who is concerned about money. Use of financial incentives (e.g., discounts, sales). The use of premiums (e.g., extra services for a little more money) should be avoided or minimized.
Appeal style: Hedonic (emotional or fantasy) or utilitarian (product or service benefits) or with emphasis on economy and saving healthcare dollars.
Repetitions: High repetitions with focus on economy.
Durations: Long duration messages if focus is on saving healthcare dollars; Short duration message if focus is on quality, not saving healthcare dollars.
Complexity: A few key points, mainly focusing on saving money.
Content emphasis: Active visuals and non-product or service elements
Primary medium: Television/radio
Fear appeals: Use slight fear appeals in the context of the dangers of wasting money on unnecessary healthcare services.
Humor: Use humor
Explicit conclusions: Draw explicit conclusions
Type of argument: One-sided argument in favor of seeking and using the most affordable healthcare or health coverage possible.
Authority appeals: Peer testimonial
Spokesperson: Referent spokesperson (someone customer can easily relate to, a celebrity)
Level: Somewhat high
