Impact of Perceived Experiential Advertising on Consumer Behavior in Nepal: Evidence from S-O-R Theory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Advertising styles have evolved, with experiential or engagement-based advertising emerging as a future trend. But, how different dimensions of experiential advertising impact brand credibility and consumer behavior in Kathmandu Valley is not examine so far. Objective: The study aims to assess the causal relationships between the influence of experiential advertising dimensions on brand credibility and consumer behavior, using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory as a framework. Method: An exploratory research design was employed, guided by the S-O-R theory. Data were collected through a survey administered using KOBO Toolbox and a structured questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data and explore the relationships between perceived experiential advertising, brand credibility, and consumer behavior. Result: The study finds that brand credibility mediates the relationship between perceived related, cognitive, and behavioral experiences and consumer behavior. SEM analysis reveals that related and behavioral advertising significantly impact brand credibility. Additionally, both related and behavioral advertising, as well as brand credibility, are significant predictors of consumer behavior. These results confirm the theoretical relevance of the S-O-R theory in the context of experiential advertising. Conclusion: Experiential advertising, particularly related and behavioral experiences, significantly impacts brand credibility and consumer behavior in Nepal. The findings suggest that organizations can benefit from focusing on these dimensions to build and maintain strong consumer relationships, enhancing long-term engagement and loyalty.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
